Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Plutarch of Chaeronea is one of the most influential and fascinating authors of antiquity. His Parallel Lives and Moralia are storehouses of challenging questions, valuable insights and interesting observations. Moreover, they contain a wealth of quotations from and references to earlier writers and traditions, and thus provide one of the richest gateways to the ancient world. This book introduces the reader to Plutarch's life and to the different facets of his variegated thinking and writing, such as his tremendous erudition, his Platonism and (moral) philosophy, his interpretation of history and his view of God. Above all, Plutarch stands out as a particularly clever and subtle thinker, driven by a spirit of painstaking enquiry (zetesis) that shows authentic and impressive intellectual honesty and sincere love of the truth. In this respect, as in many others, he remains an inspiring model even for us today. This volume introduces the life and works of Plutarch of Chaeronea, one of classical antiquity's most influential writers. It examines Plutarch's views on philosophy, history and religion, and his method of intellectual enquiry. The book also considers the value of Plutarch's works as sources for understanding the ancient world.

Gr.-8°, Brosch. VII, 262 S. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // Wie haben griechische philosophische und frühchristliche Tradition über den Ursprung und das Ziel des Kosmos reflektiert und über die Antworten, die in den jeweiligen Traditionskreisen gegeben wurden? Die Aufsätze in diesem Band zeigen, dass die griechische philosophische und die frühchristliche Tradition ein gemeinsames Interesse daran hatten, nicht nur über die Prinzipien nachzudenken, die die Kosmologie bestimmen, und darüber, wie der Kosmos auf seine Prinzipien zurückgreift, sondern auch über die Antworten, die in beiden Tradition diesbezüglich gegeben wurden.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Plutarch of Chaeronea, Platonist, polymath, and prolific writer, was by no means an armchair philosopher. He believed in the necessity for a philosopher to affect the lives of his fellow citizens. That urge inspired many of his writings to meet what he considered people's true needs. Although these writings on practical ethics illustrate in various ways Plutarch's authorial talents and raise many challenging questions (regarding their overall structure, content, purpose, and underlying philosophical and social presuppositions), they have attracted only limited scholarly attention. Virtues for the People contains a collection of essays that deal with these questions from different perspectives and illuminate Plutarch's thinking and writing. In addition to twelve chapters in English, it includes one essay each in German, Italian, French, and Spanish, each accompanied by an English-language abstract. Special points of interest are the concept of "popular philosophy" itself and its implications, its dependence on a more theoretical philosophical background, and the importance of moral progress, the therapy of wickedness, and the common experiences of everyday life. This collection of essays addresses Plutarch's writings on practical ethics from different perspectives, including regarding their overall structure, content, purpose, and underlying philosophical and social presuppositions.

Gr.-8°, Ppbd. XIV, 309 S. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // This collection deals with utopias in the Greek and Roman worlds. Plato is the first and foremost name that comes to mind and, accordingly, 3 chapters (J. Annas; D. El Murr; A. Hazistavrou) are devoted to his various approaches to utopia in the Republic, Timaeus and Laws. But this volume`s central vocation and originality comes from our taking on that theme in many other philosophical authors and literary genres. The philosophers include Aristotle (Ch. Horn) but also Cynics (S. Husson), Stoics (G. Reydams-Schils) and Cicero (S. McConnell). Other literary genres include comedic works from Aristophanes up to Lucian (G. Sissa; S. Kidd; N.I. Kuin) and history from Herodotus up to Diodorus Siculus (T. Lockwood; C. Atack; I. Sulimani). A last comparative chapter is devoted to utopias in Ancient China (D. Engels).

Gr.-8°, Brosch. X, 314 S. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // Der vorliegende Band enthält die Ergebnisse eines internationalen Kolloquiums, welches im Februar 2015 an der geisteswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der KU Leuven abgehalten wurden und Experten in (spät)antiker Philosophie und frühchristlichen Studien zusammenbrachte. Die Beiträger wurden gebeten, über die Rezeption zweier grundlegender Texte, die sich mit dem Ursprung der Welt befassen, zu reflektieren dem dritten Buch von Platons Timaios und der Schöpfungsgeschichte aus Genesis. Die Organisatoren hatten zwei Ziele: Sie wollten ein Forum bieten, um den Dialog zwischen Kollegen aus diesen Fachgebieten voranzutreiben, indem sie aus vergleichender Perspektive sowohl ein entscheidendes Thema untersuchen, welches beide Traditionen teilen, als auch die literarischen Gattungen, durch die dieses Thema entwickelt und überliefert wurde.
