Book Synopsis Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy, Volume 55 by : Victor Caston
Download or read book Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy, Volume 55 written by Victor Caston and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy is a volume of original articles on all aspects of ancient philosophy. The articles may be of substantial length, and include critical notices of major books. OSAP is now published twice yearly, in both hardback and paperback. "'Have you seen the latest OSAP?' is what scholars of ancient philosophy say to each other when they meet in corridors or on coffee breaks. Whether you work on Plato or Aristotle, on Presocratics or sophists, on Stoics, Epicureans, or Sceptics, on Roman philosophers or Greek Neoplatonists, you are liable to find OSAP articles now dominant in the bibliography of much serious published work in your particular subject: not safe to miss." - Malcolm Schofield, Cambridge University "OSAP was founded to provide a place for long pieces on major issues in ancient philosophy. In the years since, it has fulfilled this role with great success, over and over again publishing groundbreaking papers on what seemed to be familiar topics and others surveying new ground to break. It represents brilliantly the vigour - and the increasingly broad scope - of scholarship in ancient philosophy, and shows us all how the subject should flourish." - M.M. McCabe, King's College London
Book Synopsis Doctrine and Doxography by : David Sider
Download or read book Doctrine and Doxography written by David Sider and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pythagoras and Heraclitus developed theories of the universe and mankind’s place in it which were taken seriously by all later Greek thinkers. None of their works remains, however, except in later paraphrases that all too often are misrepresentations. Pythagoras had followers who attributed their own ideas to their master; Heraclitus wrote in a prose style so ambiguous that he came to be known as the Shadow, so that even the most earnest attempts to paraphrase his views had to smooth out his intentional rough edges. Nonetheless, enough remains to allow the authors of this volume, edited by David Sider and Dirk Obbink (Oxford), to offer new ways of viewing their views and the way others perceived them. The contributors are Gábor Betegh (Budapest), Roman Dilcher (Heidelberg), Aryeh Finkelberg (Tel Aviv), Daniel Graham (Brigham Young University), Herbert Granger (Wayne State University), Carl Huffman (DePauw), Enrique Hülsz Piccone (Mexico City), Anthony Long (Berkeley), Richard McKirahan (Pomona), Catherine Rowett (East Anglia), David Sider (New York), and Leonid Zhmud (St. Petersberg).
Book Synopsis The Embodied Self in Plato by : Orestis Karatzoglou
Download or read book The Embodied Self in Plato written by Orestis Karatzoglou and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that, rather than being conceived merely as a hindrance, the body contributes constructively in the fashioning of a Platonic unified self. The Phaedo shows awareness that the indeterminacy inherent in the body infects the validity of any scientific argument but also provides the subject of inquiry with the ability to actualize, to the extent possible, the ideal self. The Republic locates bodily desires and needs in the tripartite soul. Achievement of maximal unity is dependent upon successful training of the rational part of the soul, but the earlier curriculum of Books 2 and 3, which aims at instilling a pre-reflectively virtuous disposition in the lower parts of the soul, is a prerequisite for the advanced studies of Republic 7. In the Timaeus, the world soul is fashioned out of Being, Sameness, and Difference: an examination of the Sophist and the Parmenides reveals that Difference is to be identified with the Timaeus’ Receptacle, the third ontological principle which emerges as the quasi-material component that provides each individual soul with the alloplastic capacity for psychological growth and alteration.
Download or read book On Plato’s Timaeus written by Calcidius and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 795 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 4th century CE, Calcidius translated into Latin an important section of Plato’s Timaeus, complemented by commentary and organized into coordinated parts. Its organization subsequently informed the sense of macrocosm and microcosm—of the world and our place in it—which is prevalent in western European thought in the Middle Ages.
Book Synopsis Plato and Pythagoreanism by : Phillip Sidney Horky
Download or read book Plato and Pythagoreanism written by Phillip Sidney Horky and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Plato a Pythagorean? Plato's students and earliest critics thought so, but later scholars have been more skeptical. Plato and Pythagoreanism reconsiders this question by arguing that a specific type of Pythagorean philosophy, called "mathematical" Pythagoreanism, played a profound role in Plato's philosophy.
Book Synopsis Sepúlveda on the Spanish Invasion of the Americas by :
Download or read book Sepúlveda on the Spanish Invasion of the Americas written by and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-23 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the first full English translation of four key texts from the dispute between Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda and Bartolomé de las Casas regarding the justice of Spain's invasion of the Americas, culminating in their famous debate in Valladolid in 1550-51. An impassioned defence of the invasion, Sepúlveda's Democrates secundus (composed around 1544) amplified the controversy within Spain about the justice of its activities in the Americas. When Las Casas schemed to block publication of Sepúlveda's manuscript, Sepúlveda wrote an Apologia (1550) in its defence. Tensions were so high that Emperor Charles V called a temporary halt to undertakings in the Americas and convoked a meeting of theologians and jurists in Valladolid to address the matter. Here, Sepúlveda and Las Casas debated bitterly. Las Casas subsequently printed a composite record of the Valladolid deliberations (Aquí se contiene una disputa o controversia, 1552). Sepúlveda retaliated by penning a furious response (Proposiciones temerarias y de mala doctrina, around 1553-54) and strove to have Las Casas' text banned by the Inquisition. The debate between Sepúlveda and Las Casas was a pivotal moment in the history of international legal thought. They argued over fundamental matters of empire and colonial rule; natural law and cultural difference; the jurisdiction of the Church, responsibilities of Christian rulers, and rights of infidel peoples; the just reasons for war and grounds for resistance; and the right to punish idolatry, protect innocents from tyranny, and subjugate unbelievers for the purpose of spreading the Christian faith. With a detailed scholarly introduction that elucidates the complex story of these four controversial texts and reflects on the impacts of Sepúlveda's ideas, which continue to be felt in the theories and practices of war today, this book is a must-read for all those interested in the fields of history, political science, international relations, and colonial studies.
Book Synopsis Clearchus of Soli by : Robert Mayhew
Download or read book Clearchus of Soli written by Robert Mayhew and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-15 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases a figure whose life and work bridge Classical and Hellenistic Greece. It comprises Tiziano Dorandi’s comprehensive new edition of the Clearchus ‘fragments’, accompanied by a richly annotated English translation from Stephen White, as well as nine new studies examining key aspects of Clearchus’ thought. Clearchus, from Soli on the island of Cyprus, was an Aristotelian philosopher and cultural historian active in the later fourth and early third centuries BCE. A versatile thinker and prolific author, he wrote on a wide range of subjects. Although none of his works survive, he is cited extensively by later authors. Topics addressed in this volume include his accounts of souls during sleep, educational traditions, forms of love, luxurious living, sage maxims and other traditional sayings, aquatic wildlife, lunar phenomena, and his relation to Plato and Platonism. Clearchus of Soli will interest both students and scholars of ancient Greek history, philosophy and science, and especially anyone interested in Aristotle and his circle, Hellenistic literature and culture, or Greek cultural history generally.
Book Synopsis The Cambridge History of Philosophy in Late Antiquity by : Lloyd P. Gerson
Download or read book The Cambridge History of Philosophy in Late Antiquity written by Lloyd P. Gerson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 1584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge History of Philosophy in Late Antiquity comprises over forty specially commissioned essays by experts on the philosophy of the period 200–800 CE. Designed as a successor to The Cambridge History of Later Greek and Early Medieval Philosophy (edited by A. H. Armstrong), it takes into account some forty years of scholarship since the publication of that volume. The contributors examine philosophy as it entered literature, science and religion, and offer new and extensive assessments of philosophers who until recently have been mostly ignored. The volume also includes a complete digest of all philosophical works known to have been written during this period. It will be an invaluable resource for all those interested in this rich and still emerging field.
Book Synopsis Peripatetic Philosophy in Context by : Francesco Verde
Download or read book Peripatetic Philosophy in Context written by Francesco Verde and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with some Aristotelian philosophers of the Hellenistic Age, ranging from Theophrastus of Eresus to Cratippus of Pergamum. The problem of knowledge, the question of time, and the doctrine of the soul are investigated by comparing these Peripatetics’ views with Aristotle’s philosophy, and above all by setting their doctrines within the broader framework of post-Aristotelian and Hellenistic philosophies (the Old Academy, Epicureanism, and Stoicism).
Book Synopsis Plato’s Styles and Characters by : Gabriele Cornelli
Download or read book Plato’s Styles and Characters written by Gabriele Cornelli and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-11-27 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significance of Plato’s literary style to the content of his ideas is perhaps one of the central problems in the study of Plato and Ancient Philosophy as a whole. As Samuel Scolnicov points out in this collection, many other philosophers have employed literary techniques to express their ideas, just as many literary authors have exemplified philosophical ideas in their narratives, but for no other philosopher does the mode of expression play such a vital role in their thought as it does for Plato. And yet, even after two thousand years there is still no consensus about why Plato expresses his ideas in this distinctive style. Selected from the first Latin American Area meeting of the International Plato Society (www.platosociety.org) in Brazil in 2012, the following collection of essays presents some of the most recent scholarship from around the world on the wide range of issues related to Plato’s dialogue form. The essays can be divided into three categories. The first addresses general questions concerning Plato’s literary style. The second concerns the relation of his style to other genres and traditions in Ancient Greece. And the third examines Plato’s characters and his purpose in using them.
Book Synopsis Aristotle Poetics by : Leonardo Tarán
Download or read book Aristotle Poetics written by Leonardo Tarán and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important new editio maior of Aristotle's Poetics, based on all the primary sources, is a major contribution to scholarship. The introductory chapters provide important new insights about the transmission of the text to the present day and especially the significance of the Syro-Arabic tradition. The Greek text is accompanied by a detailed critical apparatus as well as Notes to the Text; in addition there is a Graeco-Arabic critical apparatus and commentary.

This publication will be an indispensable tool for all Aristotelian scholars, historians of Greek literature and criticism, and specialists of the transmission and reception of classical works.
Book Synopsis Ancient Greek Scholarship by : Eleanor Dickey
Download or read book Ancient Greek Scholarship written by Eleanor Dickey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-05 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient greek sholarship constitutes a precious resource for classicists, but one that is underutilized because graduate students and even mature scholars lack familiarity with its conventions. The peculiarities of scholarly Greek and the lack of translations or scholarly aids often discourages readers from exploiting the large body of commentaries, scholia, lexica, and grammatical treatises that have been preserved on papyrus and via the manuscript tradition. Now, for the first time, there is an introduction to such scholarship that will enable students and scholars unfamiliar with this material to use it in their work. Ancient Greek Scholarship includes detailed discussion of the individual ancient authors on whose works scholia, commentaries, or single-author lexica exist, together with explanations of the probable sources of that scholarship and the ways it is now used, as well as descriptions of extant grammatical works and general lexica. These discussions, and the annotated bibliography of more than 1200 works, also include evaluations of the different texts of each work and of a variety of electronic resources. This book not only introduces readers to ancient scholarship, but also teaches them how to read it. Here readers will find a detailed, step-by-step introduction to the language, a glossary of over 1500 grammatical terms, and a set of more than 200 passages for translation, each accompanied by commentary. The commentaries offer enough help to enable undergraduates with as little as two years of Greek to translate most passages with confidence; in addition, readers are given aids to handling the ancient numerical systems, understanding the references found in works of ancient scholarship, and using an apparatus criticus (including an extensive key to the abbreviations used in an apparatus). Half the passages are accompanied by a key, so that the book is equally suitable for those studying on their own and for classes with graded homework.
Book Synopsis Peripatetic Philosophy, 200 BC to AD 200 by : R. W. Sharples
Download or read book Peripatetic Philosophy, 200 BC to AD 200 written by R. W. Sharples and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a collection of sources, many of them fragmentary and previously scattered and hard to access, for the development of Peripatetic philosophy in the later Hellenistic period and the early Roman Empire. It also supplies the background against which the first commentator on Aristotle from whom extensive material survives, Alexander of Aphrodisias (fl. c. AD 200), developed his interpretations which continue to be influential even today. Many of the passages are here translated into English for the first time, including the whole of the summary of Peripatetic ethics attributed to 'Arius Didymus'.
Book Synopsis Teachers and Students, Reflections on Learning in Near and Middle Eastern Cultures by :
Download or read book Teachers and Students, Reflections on Learning in Near and Middle Eastern Cultures written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-01-08 with total page 861 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers and Students: Reflections on Learning in Near and Middle Eastern Cultures. Collected Studies in Honour of Sebastian Günther contains essays on the developments, ideals, and practices of teaching and learning in the Islamicate world, past and present. The authors address topics that reflect – and thus honour – Sebastian Günther’s academic achievements in this particular area. The volume offers fresh insights into key issues related to education and human development, including their shared characteristics as well as their influence on and interdependence with cultures of the Islamicate world, especially in the classical period of Islam (9th-15th century CE). The diverse spectrum of topics covered in the book, as well as the wide range of innovative interdisciplinary approaches and research tools employed, pay tribute to Sebastian Günther’s research focus on Islamic education and ethics, through which he has inspired many of his students, colleagues, and friends.
Book Synopsis Estudos pré-socráticos na América Latina by : Alexandre Costa
Download or read book Estudos pré-socráticos na América Latina written by Alexandre Costa and published by Odysseus Editora. This book was released on 2024-07-03 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O trabalho de reconstituição da história da filosofia na Antiguidade se confunde com aquele da investigação sobre os processos de transmissão, de recepção e de discussão dos textos. E, no caso dos Pré-Socráticos, isso se traduz no exame crítico dos testemunhos e comentários gerados no contexto da discussão de suas teses e dos fragmentos de obras originalmente elaboradas nos duzentos anos da primeira idade da filosofia grega, e citados ao longo de pelo menos um milênio por diversas gerações de autores antigos que se debruçaram sobre o seu pensamento. Estas são as nossas principais fontes para o estudo deste período da história do pensamento antigo: graças a esses autores dispomos de um material literário responsável por consolidar um rico e complexo fenómeno de recepção que permitiu, historicamente, a efetiva constituição de um legado dessas obras perdidas em sua original integridade. Nesse processo de transmissão, pelo menos duas perspectivas se distinguem e se complementam: aquela da historiografia filosófica e aquela da doxografia. Diante delas, uma habilidade se delineia e se impõe ao estudioso dos primeiros tempos da filosofia: é preciso saber ler os textos. Isso pressupõe, entre outras coisas, que se dê a devida atenção ao contexto em que cada fragmento de pensamento foi transmitido (quando isso é possível) e à discussão suscitada pelas teses nele expostas, à intertextualidade de cada uma das fontes de que dispomos para abordar um determinado pensador e suas ideias, além de um cuidadoso manuseio das ferramentas da paleografia e da filologia. Uma obra em particular foi responsável, no início do século XX, por atrair a atenção dos estudiosos para esse período da Filosofia Antiga. Trata-se dos Fragmente der Vorsokratiker,de Hermann Diels, coletânea posteriormente revista e incrementada com as contribuições de Walther Kranz. A coletânea por eles estabelecida se tornou uma primeira referência para os estudos que se seguiram sobre um ou outro autor, sobre uma ou outra tradição do que se convencionou denominar de "filosofia pré-socrática". Com efeito, para além do terreno das traduções e do estabelecimento de texto das coletâneas dos Pré-Socráticos, o âmbito dos estudos consagrados aos primeiros pensadores da tradição filosófica vem assistindo nos últimos anos a um crescimento significativo do número de pesquisadores, estudantes e professores que passaram a se interessar e se ocupar, de maneira mais direta e duradora, do pensamento filosófico desse período da Antiguidade Grega, que se inicia na transição do século VII para o VI a.C. e se estende até o século V a.C. Em toda a América Latina dissertações e teses, artigos, livros e capítulos de livros vêm sendo dedicados aos principais representantes deste período, abordando uma grande variedade de temas e problemas, e adotando diferentes perspectivas metodológicas, contribuindo para fomentar uma comunidade de estudiosos votados a este campo de estudo e pesquisa, que vem se consolidando nos últimos anos e se encontra em franco movimento de expansão. Os textos são apresentados na língua original e traduzidos para o inglês.
