Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La coexistence de deux systemes bien differents d'expression du vrai dans la periode la plus ancienne de l'histoire de la langue grecque appelait un examen methodique. Comment s'explique-t-elle? Que revele-t-elle? Pourquoi l'un de ces deux systemes subit-il un affaiblissement constant, qui aboutira a sa disparition complete dans la prose du IVe siecle? Comment faut-il expliquer qu'ils entrent l'un et l'autre en opposition avec les memes termes representant le faux? Une analyse rigoureuse et complete des faits enregistres et des questions posees permet d'etablir que les deux series de concepts presents derriere les mots correspondent d'une part a des structures de cognition et a des pratiques de communication que l'on peut considerer comme archaiques et, d'autre part, au developpement progressif d'une forme recente de verite, reposant sur des mecanismes differents d'acquisition et de transmission, qui meritent d'etre qualifies de modernes. Parallelement au developpement de cette verite, une transformation de la nature conceptuelle du faux se laisse percevoir clairement, si bien que l'extension ultime de son evolution, a la fin de la periode consideree, derriere le verbe signifiant mentir, dire le faux, permet de bien comprendre ce qui s'est progressivement produit et de demontrer la pertinence de l'ensemble des reconstructions proposees. Par l'etude semantique sont saisis, pour ainsi dire de l'interieur, dans toute la mesure du possible, les mecanismes subtils et profonds de l'action de l'esprit qui ont, au fil du temps, genere une vision des choses et une apprehension nouvelles du reel, au terme d'une demarche reposant sur une modification des rapports entre le sujet en quete de connaissance et l'objet de son investigation. La description de l'histoire d'aletheia e confond, dans ces conditions, avec celle de la pensee commune des Grecs et des progres de l'esprit humain dont l'evolution ainsi captee porte temoignage. Au-dela des lexemes et de leurs occurrences, les explications proposees conduisent ainsi le lecteur, par une plongee dans l'humain, a la perception dans la diachronie de quelques secrets fondamentaux de l'ame grecque et, a travers elle, pour reprendre une expression de Bruno Snell, a une sorte de decouverte de l'esprit occidental. Jean-Pierre Levet, ne en 1945, est actuellement professeur de langue et litterature grecques et de grammaire comparee des langues indo-europeennes a l'Universite de Limoges. Il a enseigne a Paris X (1968-1975) et a Poitiers (1975-1983). Les travaux de cet agrege de grammaire, titulaire de deux doctorats d'Etat (Lettres et Sciences Humaines, Science Politique), portent sur la linguistique historique ainsi que sur la science, la logique et la philosophie grecques et leurs prolongements medievaux.

Book Synopsis Hesiod's Verbal Craft by : Athanassios Vergados
Download or read book Hesiod's Verbal Craft written by Athanassios Vergados and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel, ground-breaking study aims to define Hesiod's place in early Greek intellectual history by exploring his conception of language and the ways in which it represents reality. Divided into three parts, it addresses a network of issues related to etymology, word-play, and semantics, and examines how these contribute to the development of the argument and the concepts of knowledge and authority in the Theogony and the Works and Days. Part I demonstrates how much we can learn about the poet's craft and his relation to the poetic tradition if we read his etymologies carefully, while Part II takes the discussion of the 'correctness of language' further - this correctness does not amount to a na�vely assumed one-to-one correspondence between signifier and signified. Correct names and correct language are 'true' because they reveal something particular about the concept or entity named, as numerous examples show; more importantly, however, correct language is imitative of reality, in that language becomes more opaque, ambiguous, and indeterminate as we delve deeper into the exploration of the condicio humana and the ambiguities and contradictions that characterize it in the Works and Days. Part III addresses three moments of Hesiodic reception, with individual chapters comparing Hesiod's implicit theory of language and cognition with the more explicit statements found in early mythographers and genealogists, demonstrating the importance of Hesiod's poetry for Plato's etymological project in the Cratylus, and discussing the ways in which some ancient philologists treat Hesiod as one of their own. What emerges is a new and invaluable perspective on a hitherto under-explored chapter in early Greek linguistic thought which ascertains more clearly Hesiod's place in Greek intellectual history as a serious thinker who introduced some of the questions that occupied early Greek philosophy.
Book Synopsis Semantics and Truth by : Jan Woleński
Download or read book Semantics and Truth written by Jan Woleński and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a historical (with an outline of the history of the concept of truth from antiquity to our time) and systematic exposition of the semantic theory of truth formulated by Alfred Tarski in the 1930s. This theory became famous very soon and inspired logicians and philosophers. It has two different, but interconnected aspects: formal-logical and philosophical. The book deals with both, but it is intended mostly as a philosophical monograph. It explains Tarski’s motivation and presents discussions about his ideas (pro and contra) as well as points out various applications of the semantic theory of truth to philosophical problems (truth-criteria, realism and anti-realism, future contingents or the concept of correspondence between language and reality).
Download or read book The Cosmic Republic written by A. Capizzi and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Aristotle, philosophy had come into being in the VIth century with Thales, just as a mere, disinterested pursuit of truth, a curiosity for great problems (those even-tually called "metaphysical" ones) which were substantially identical with those which Aristotle himself and his school were now raising. This abstract reading is very similar to that which views Greek poets as inspired by "eternal beauty" or by "art's for art sake" and which is nowadays completely discredited and given up by scholars of the history of literature. Against this view the present text pro-poses a new reading of the "archaic" presocratic scientists: in fact, it is about those "sages" who lived on the bound-aries of the Greek-speaking world before the concentration of such people in Periclean Athens. They were closely linked to their native towns (Miletus, Ephesus, Croto, Vele, Acragas) where they held high office; here there oral teaching and the public reading of their texts were followed closely by their fellow citizens. Thus the picture of the "cosmic republic" arises: to the "cosmic monarchy" of Homer and Hesiod (the mythical world with Zeus as the king, gods as the ministers and nature as the subject) a different mythical world succeeds. Here the earth, the sea, the sky, the human body and, generally, the "existing thing", all behave like isonomic ("republican") towns or like the governing body of these towns. Philosophy will arise later, in Athens of the Vth century.

Download or read book Homer’s Iliad written by Claude Brügger and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research into traditional areas of Homeric scholarship (e.g., language, the structure of the text, etc.) has come a long way since the last comprehensive commentaries on the Iliad were carried out, that is, the commentary by Ameis-Hentze in German language in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century as well as the Cambridge commentary by Kirk et. al. in English language in the 1980/90s. Much of this kind of research is now set upon a much surer methodological and theoretical foundation. Developments in the field of Mycenology and in the study of Linear B, oral poetry, and the history of ancient Troy in particular, have made possible a number of new insights and interpretive possibilities in Homer’s epic. Moreover, modern secondary literature of all major languages has been systematically covered. The "Basel Commentary" to the Iliad is a new, up-to-date, standard work that addresses these issues directly and will be of interest to scholars, teachers, and students alike. Central to the commentary on Iliad 24 is the interpretation of one of the most exciting and most moving scenes of the Iliad: how Priam, the king of Troy, makes his way to his mortal enemy Achilles, by whose hand his son Hector had fallen; how the god Hermes leads the old man almost magically into the army camp of the Greeks; how Achilles, at the end of an emotional encounter with Priam, leaves the body of Hector for burial.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Epistemology by : I. Niiniluoto
Download or read book Handbook of Epistemology written by I. Niiniluoto and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-03-31 with total page 1043 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epistemology or theory of knowledge has always been one of the most important -if not the most important -field of philosophy. New arguments are constantly brought to bear on old views, new variants are marshalled to revive ancient stands, new concepts and distinctions increase the sophistication of epistemogical theories. There are a great many excellent textbooks, monographs as well as anthologies consisting of articles in epistemology. Similarly, there are useful philosophical dictionaries which contain a great number of relatively short entries, and general philosophical handbooks which also touch epistemological issues. This volume of 27 essays grew out from the interest to see a handbook which is devoted entirely to the historical roots and systematic development of theory of knowledge. It is not intended to compete but to supplement the already existing literature. It aims at giving both beginners and more advanced students as well as professionals in epistemology and other areas of philosophy an overview of the central problems and solutions of epistemology. The essays are self-contained and stil often rather extensive discussions of the chosen aspects of knowledge. The contributions presuppose very little familiarity with previous literature and only a few of them require the mastery of even elementary logical notation. This, we hope, makes the volume also accessible to the philosophically interested wider audience. The contributors were asked to provide substantial, up-to-date, self-contained and balanced surveys of the various subareas and more specific topics of epistemology, with reference to literature.
Book Synopsis The Greeks and Us by : Marcel Detienne
Download or read book The Greeks and Us written by Marcel Detienne and published by Polity. This book was released on 2007-09-17 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human race is all too pre-disposed to think in terms of us and them. Europeans have always laid claim to the Ancient Greeks they are our Greeks, our ancestors but their legacy reaches further than we could ever imagine. Their influence stretches from the Japanese to the Cossacks, from Ancient Rome to Indonesia. In this path-breaking new volume, the great French historian Marcel Detienne focuses on Eurocentric approaches which have trumpeted the Greeks and their democratic practices as our ancestors and the superiority of the Western tradition to which they gave rise. He argues that such approaches can be seen as narrow-minded and often covertly nationalistic. Detienne advocates what he calls comparative anthropology which sets out to illuminate the comparisons and contrasts between the beliefs, practices and institutions of different ancient and modern societies. Detienne aims to put the Greeks in perspective among other civilisations and also to look afresh at questions of political structure, literacy, nationhood, intellect and mythology. The work of Marcel Detienne has made an enormous impact on our thinking about the Greeks in areas such as rationality, literacy and mythology, and in this new volume he challenges once again our conception of the Greeks and their impact on the modern world.
Book Synopsis Comparative Essays in Early Greek and Chinese Rational Thinking by : Jean-Paul Reding
Download or read book Comparative Essays in Early Greek and Chinese Rational Thinking written by Jean-Paul Reding and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays, by Reding, in the emergent field of Sino-Hellenic studies, explores the neglected inchoative strains of rational thought in ancient China and compares them to similar themes in ancient Greek thought, right at the beginnings of philosophy in both cultures. Reding develops and defends the bold hypothesis that Greek and Chinese rational thinking are one and the same phenomenon. Rather than stressing the extreme differences between these two cultures - as most other writings on these subjects - Reding looks for the parameters that have to be restored to see the similarities. Reding maintains that philosophy is like an unknown continent discovered simultaneously in both China and Greece, but from different starting-points. The book comprises seven essays moving thematically from conceptual analysis, logic and categories to epistemology and ontology, with an incursion in the field of comparative metaphorology. One of the book's main concerns is a systematic examination of the problem of linguistic relativism through many detailed examples.
Book Synopsis Between Ecstasy and Truth by : Stephen Halliwell
Download or read book Between Ecstasy and Truth written by Stephen Halliwell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As well as producing one of the finest of all poetic traditions, ancient Greek culture produced a major tradition of poetic theory and criticism. Halliwell's volume offers a series of detailed and challenging interpretations of some of the defining authors and texts in the history of ancient Greek poetics: the Homeric epics, Aristophanes' Frogs, Plato's Republic, Aristotle's Poetics, Gorgias's Helen, Isocrates' treatises, Philodemus' On Poems, and Longinus' On the Sublime. The volume's fundamental concern is with how the Greeks conceptualized the experience of poetry and debated the values of that experience. The book's organizing theme is a recurrent Greek dialectic between ideas of poetry as, on the one hand, a powerfully enthralling experience in its own right (a kind of 'ecstasy') and, on the other, a medium for the expression of truths which can exercise lasting influence on its audiences' views of the world. Citing a wide range of modern scholarship, and making frequent connections with later periods of literary theory and aesthetics, Halliwell questions many orthodoxies and received opinions about the texts analysed. The resulting perspective casts new light on ways in which the Greeks attempted to make sense of the psychology of poetic experience - including the roles of emotion, ethics, imagination, and knowledge - in the life of their culture.

Book Synopsis Instructions for the Netherworld by : Alberto Bernabé
Download or read book Instructions for the Netherworld written by Alberto Bernabé and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-01-30 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orphic gold tables are key documents for the knowledge of rites and beliefs of Orphics, an atypical group that configured a highly original creed and that influenced powerfully over other Greek writers and thinkers. The recent discovery of some tablets has forced a noteworthy modification of some points of view and a review ofthe different hypothesis proposed about them. The book presents a complete edition of the texts, their translation and some fundamental keys for their interpretation, in an attempt at updating our current knowledge on Orphic ideas about the soul and the Afterlife stated in those texts. The work is improved with an appendix of iconographic annotations in which some plastic representations in drawings are reproduced related to the universe of tablets, selected and commented on by Ricardo Olmos.
Book Synopsis Early Greek Epic: Language, Interpretation, Performance by : Christos Tsagalis
Download or read book Early Greek Epic: Language, Interpretation, Performance written by Christos Tsagalis and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-12-05 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last fifty years major developments have taken place, both in the field of Homeric studies and in the rest of early Greek epic. These developments have not only created a more solid basis for studying the Homeric epics, but they have also broadened our horizons with respect to the place of Homeric poetry within a larger cultural milieu. The impressive advances in Hesiodic studies, the more systematic approach to the Epic Cycle, the more nuanced use and re-evaluation of dominant twentieth-century theories like Neoanalysis and Oral Theory, the study of other fragmentary Greek epic, the cognitive turn, narratology, the performance of epic poetry in the ancient and modern world, the fruitful utilization of Indo-European material, and the widely accepted recognition of the close relation between Homer and the mythology and literature of the ancient Near East have virtually shaped anew the way we read and understand Homer, Hesiod, and early Greek epic. The studies collected in this volume are informed by most of the aforementioned sub-fields and span four research areas: (i) Homer; (ii) Hesiod; (iii) the Epic Cycle; (d) the performance of epic.

Book Synopsis Wandering in Ancient Greek Culture by : Silvia Montiglio
Download or read book Wandering in Ancient Greek Culture written by Silvia Montiglio and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2005-08-22 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Examining the act of wandering through many lenses, Wandering in Ancient Greek Culture addresses questions such as: Why did the Greeks associate the figure of the wanderer with the condition of exile? How was the expansion of the world under Rome reflected in the connotations of wandering? Does a person learn by wandering, or is wandering a deviation from the truth? In the end, this matchless volume shows how the transformations that affected the figure of the wanderer coincided with new perceptions of the world and of travel, and invites us to consider its definition and import today."--BOOK JACKET.
