Download or read book Iamblichus: Exhortation to Philosophy written by Iamblichus and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Protrepticus of Iamblichus (about AD 250-before 325), priestly reformer of Neoplatonism and commentator on Aristotle, is an exhortation to philosophy. The work combines the influences of Aristotle, Plato and Pythagoras, and is important both for revelations about these sources and for understanding Iamblichus' philosophy in its own right. Whilst a significant portion draws on Aristotle's earlier Protrepticus by excerpting elements of his lost text, other sections look to Plato and to Pythagoras'Golden Verses and proverbs. By studying how Iamblichus presents passages from Plato, the translators are able to distinguish the verbatim citations from Aristotle, thus uncovering fragments of an otherwise lost Aristotelian work. The nature of Iamblichus' enterprise is also demonstrated, which is to assemble excerpted portions from his chosen sources into intellectually satisfying parcels with headnotes expressing what the reader should think about them. It is therefore possible to understand more about how Iamblichus sees Aristotle and how he conceives of Aristotle's place in the Platonic tradition and in the wider world of classical Greek philosophy. This English translation is the latest volume in the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series and makes this philosophical work accessible to a modern readership. The translation is accompanied by an introduction, comprehensive commentary notes, bibliography, glossary of translated terms and a subject index.

Book Synopsis Iamblichus: On the General Science of Mathematics by : John Dillon
Download or read book Iamblichus: On the General Science of Mathematics written by John Dillon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the General Science of Mathematics is the third of four surviving works out of ten by Iamblichus (c. 245 CE–early 320s) on the Pythagoreans. He thought the Pythagoreans had treated mathematics as essential for drawing the human soul upwards to higher realms described by Plato, and downwards to understand the physical cosmos, the products of arts and crafts and the order required for an ethical life. His Pythagorean treatises use edited quotation to re-tell the history of philosophy, presenting Plato and Aristotle as passing on the ideas invented by Pythagoras and his early followers. Although his quotations tend to come instead from Plato and later Pythagoreanising Platonists, this re-interpretation had a huge impact on the Neoplatonist commentators in Athens. Iamblichus' cleverness, if not to the same extent his re-interpretation, was appreciated by the commentators in Alexandria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a major reinterpretation of ancient philosophy that recovers the long Greek and Roman tradition of philosophy as a complete way of life--and not simply an intellectual discipline. Distinguished philosopher John Cooper traces how, for many ancient thinkers, philosophy was not just to be studied or even used to solve particular practical problems. Rather, philosophy--not just ethics but even logic and physical theory--was literally to be lived. Yet there was great disagreement about how to live philosophically: philosophy was not one but many, mutually opposed, ways of life. Examining this tradition from its establishment by Socrates in the fifth century BCE through Plotinus in the third century CE and the eclipse of pagan philosophy by Christianity, Pursuits of Wisdom examines six central philosophies of living--Socratic, Aristotelian, Stoic, Epicurean, Skeptic, and the Platonist life of late antiquity. The book describes the shared assumptions that allowed these thinkers to conceive of their philosophies as ways of life, as well as the distinctive ideas that led them to widely different conclusions about the best human life. Clearing up many common misperceptions and simplifications, Cooper explains in detail the Socratic devotion to philosophical discussion about human nature, human life, and human good; the Aristotelian focus on the true place of humans within the total system of the natural world; the Stoic commitment to dutifully accepting Zeus's plans; the Epicurean pursuit of pleasure through tranquil activities that exercise perception, thought, and feeling; the Skeptical eschewal of all critical reasoning in forming their beliefs; and, finally, the late Platonist emphasis on spiritual concerns and the eternal realm of Being. Pursuits of Wisdom is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding what the great philosophers of antiquity thought was the true purpose of philosophy--and of life.
