Book excerpt: John Dillon describes intriguing aspects of everyday life in Athenian society and considers the moral and ethical questions the Greeks associated with them. Chapters are devoted to the family (including relations between husband and wife and parents and children); the position of non-citizen women (the problems and limited rights of courtesans, for example); inheritance (securing the male heir, the rights of widows, daughters); behaviour towards friends and enemies; friendship and love; homosexuality and pseudo-homosexuality; slavery (what it was like to be a slave, the various conditions of slaves, etc); and piety and impiety. Each chapter draws on historical sources to tell two or more contrasting stories chosen to give students a handle on attitudes and beliefs as well as on texts from contemporary literature, history, or philosophy that bear on the issues of the chapter. The book is as much an introduction to ancient Greek thought and literature as to its moral codes and behaviour. It is based on a course given at Trinity College Dublin over several years.

Book Synopsis Greek Popular Morality in the Time of Plato and Aristotle by : K. J. Dover
Download or read book Greek Popular Morality in the Time of Plato and Aristotle written by K. J. Dover and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ancient Greece, as today, popular moral attitudes differed importantly from the theories of moral philosophers. While for the latter we have Plato and Aristotle, this insightful work explores the everyday moral conceptions to which orators appealed in court and political assemblies, and which were reflected in non-philosophical literature. Oratory and comedy provide the primary testimony, and reference is also made to Sophocles, Euripides, Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, and other sources. The selection of topics, the contrasts and comparisons with modern religious, social and legal principles, and accessibility to the non-specialist ensure the work's appeal to all readers with an interest in ancient Greek culture and social life.
Book Synopsis Moral Codes and Social Structure in Ancient Greece by : Joseph M. Bryant
Download or read book Moral Codes and Social Structure in Ancient Greece written by Joseph M. Bryant and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exercise in cultural sociology, Moral Codes and Social Structure in Ancient Greece seeks to explicate the dynamic currents of classical Hellenic ethics and social philosophy by situating those idea-complexes in their socio-historical and intellectual contexts. Central to this enterprise is a comprehensive historical-sociological analysis of the Polis form of social organization, which charts the evolution of its basic institutions, roles, statuses, and class relations. From the Dark Age period of "genesis" on to the Hellenistic era of "eclipse" by the emergent forces of imperial patrimonialism, Polis society promoted and sustained corresponding normative codes which mobilized and channeled the requisite emotive commitments and cognitive judgments for functional proficiency under existing conditions of life. The aristocratic warrior-ethos canonized in the Homeric epics; the civic ideology of equality and justice espoused by reformist lawgivers and poets; the democratization of status honor and martial virtue that attended the shift to hoplite warfare; the philosophical exaltation of the Polis-citizen bond as found in the architectonic visions of Plato and Aristotle; and the subsequent retreat from civic virtues and the interiorization of value articulated by the Skeptics, Epicureans, and Stoics, new age philosophies in a world remade by Alexander's conquests--these are the key phases in the evolving currents of Hellenic moral discourse, as structurally framed by transformations within the institutional matrix of Polis society.

Book Synopsis Delusions of Invulnerability by : G.E.R. Lloyd
Download or read book Delusions of Invulnerability written by G.E.R. Lloyd and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How were the aims of philosophy and the responsibilities of philosophers conceived in ancient Greece and China? How were the learned elite recruited and controlled; how were their speculations and advice influenced by the different types of audiences they faced and the institutions in which they worked? How was a yearning for invulnerability reconciled with a sense of human frailty? In each chapter of this fascinating analysis ancient Greek and Chinese ideas and practices are used as a basis for critical reflections on the predicaments we continue to face today, with a particular focus on the key Greek ideas of the equal participation of all citizens in the political process, and on the key Chinese one of a dedication to the ideal of the welfare of all under heaven

Book Synopsis Philosophy and Popular Morals in Ancient Greece by : Archibald E. Dobbs
Download or read book Philosophy and Popular Morals in Ancient Greece written by Archibald E. Dobbs and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-14 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philosophy and Popular Morals in Ancient Greece: An Examination of Popular Morality and Philosophical Ethics, in Their Interrelations and Reciprocal Influence in Ancient Greece, Down to the Close of the Third Century B. C This Essay was awarded the Hare Prize in February 1906. Since then it has been practically rewritten. The subject is twofold. In the first place, we have to consider the circumstances which gave rise to moral philosophy in Ancient Greece, and the process of its development through the criticism and absorption of popular ideas; and secondly, its subsequent reflex influence on popular life and thought down to the close of the third century B.C. It is to the latter problem - discussed in Part II of this Essay - that I would call special attention. The influence of popular thought on philosophy has been discussed in detail by modern writers of learning and repute; and in this province I have done little more than collect and systematize their conclusions. The influence of philosophy on the mind and conduct of the people has, so far as I am aware, been wholly disregarded.

Book Synopsis Citizen and Self in Ancient Greece by : Vincent Farenga
Download or read book Citizen and Self in Ancient Greece written by Vincent Farenga and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-29 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2006 study examines how the ancient Greeks decided questions of justice as a key to understanding the intersection of our moral and political lives. Combining contemporary political philosophy with historical, literary and philosophical texts, it examines a series of remarkable individuals who performed 'scripts' of justice in early Iron Age, archaic and classical Greece. From the earlier periods, these include Homer's Achilles and Odysseus as heroic individuals who are also prototypical citizens, and Solon the lawgiver, writing the scripts of statute law and the jury trial. In democratic Athens, the focus turns to dialogues between a citizen's moral autonomy and political obligation in Aeschyleon tragedy, Pericles' citizenship paradigm, Antiphon's sophistic thought and forensic oratory, the political leadership of Alcibiades and Socrates' moral individualism.
