Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ethics of Euripides "Nature's way is ever the strongest and best," wrote Pindar in his ninth Olympian ode. Like much of his teaching, the aphorism has more earnestness than originality. Indeed, it is as a commonplace of Greek conviction that I have chosen it as my starting-point and text. If it were possible to comprise in one short sentence the essential differences of the Greek genius from that of other nations and of modern times, Pindar might claim to have come near to that achievement. For there is an entire world - an entire Greek world - of meaning in øvâ. It implies that the Greek standard, the ethical and physical sanction, is not drawn from a supra-mundane or transcendental source, but from the physical world as it is or as it tends to be. Hence, in logic, the Platonic theory of ideas, inasmuch as the idea can be defined as that form of any infima species which is wholly and perfectly øvâ. The logical concept to the Greeks had always a curious concreteness. It was not an abstraction so much as a formal visualisation of the object in its complete and perfect state. Hence that curious dualism in Plato, - a world of objects, and a world of ideas which always threatened to be objects also. In sculpture, that strange early development through a very limited number of fixed types is common to most early art, inasmuch as differentiation is a late acquirement. But note that the types did not stagnate into conventions, as seems to have happened occasionally in Egypt and many Oriental countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interpretation of ancient Greek literature is often enough distorted by the preconceptions of modern times, especially on ancient morality. This is often equivalent to begging the question. If we think e.g. of aretê, which has different meanings in different contexts, we shall think in English (or in Modern Greek or in French or in German) and shall falsify the phenomena. If we are to understand the Greek concept e.g. of aretê we must study the nature of the situations in which it is applied. For it is an important fact in the study of Greek society that the Greeks used the one word (e.g. aretê) where we use different words. If we are to understand properly the texts, we have to view them in their historical and social context. Ancient Greek thought needs to be studied together with politics, ethics, and economic behaviour. Moreover, the best insights can be found in those who confine themselves to the terms of each ancient author's analysis. From this principle each of the contributions of the volume begins.

Book excerpt: The Nicomachean Ethics is widely considered one of the most important philosophical works of Western Philosophy. The theme of the work is a Socratic question previously explored in the works of Plato, Aristotle's friend and teacher, of how men should best live. The Nicomachean Ethics had a crucial impact upon the European Middle Ages, becoming one of the core works of medieval philosophy. It therefore indirectly became critical in the development of all modern philosophy as well as European law and theology.

Download or read book Groaning Tears written by E.P. Garrison and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groaning Tears examines suicide in Greek tragedy in light of the fifth-century ethical climate. No full-scale work has previously been devoted to this pervasive topic. The particular focus of identifying suicide as a response to the expectations of popular ethics and social demands makes it useful for scholars and students of drama, ethics and sociology. Chapter one establishes the ethical background of audiences in the fifth century while chapters two through five examine suicide in the context of whole plays based on motivational distinctions: to avoid disgrace and preserve an honorable reputation; to avoid further suffering; to end grief; and to sacrifice oneself for a greater good. The final chapter considers a drama of lighter tone that presents suicide in all of its ethical and theatrical aspects.

Download or read book Misery and Forgiveness in Euripides written by Boris Nikolsky and published by Classical Press of Wales. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tragedies of Euripides are among the most admired works of Greek literature. They are valued especially in our own day for their sceptical attitude to authority and divinity, for their psychological complexity and for their sympathetic but unsentimental portrayal of assertive women. In this striking new monograph, Boris Nikolsky reinterprets a Euripidean tragedy which combines these qualities to the highest degree, the Hippolytus. Nikolsky questions the current gender and psychoanalytical approaches to Hippolytus and challenges the widespread interpretations of the play as being concerned with the irresistible force of love and the inevitability of punishment for those who underestimate its power. He reads the play in terms of its own culture and argues that Euripides' primary interest lies rather in the sphere of morality. Arguing from the dramatic structure of Hippolytus, its imagery and the problems of its production, the author proposes a new interpretation of the play's main theme: humans turn out to be not culprits but victims of fate, their will always tends towards virtue, but their natural weakness and the ambivalence of virtue itself lead them to wrong actions. In consequence, it is exoneration and forgiveness that are shown to be the highest and only pure moral values.
