After the study entitled History of the Plants, Theophrastus continued his research on botany and published a second set of results, now entitled Causes of the Plants.Assuming the inevitable dialogue between the two titles, Theophrastus progressed, however, from an inventory to a more technical reflection, looking at agriculture as an 'art' with the capacity to manipulate nature and serve commercial, gastronomic and medicinal objectives.This volume offers the first translation into Portuguese of the Causes of plants, by Theophrastus. The nature of the subject needed the collaboration of a Hellenist and a botanist, in order to ensure the accuracy of the translation and the specificity of the footnotes and indexes. Beside the large number of footnotes, there is an introduction that identifies Theophrastus, his intellectual circle and the scientific structure of his exposition. The volume also includes a bibliography and eight indexes: four of Greek nomenclature and its translation into Portuguese, referring to the chapters of Theophrastus' text; the others of Latin names given to the species (plants and animals), referring to the footnotes.

Among the many subjects on which Theophrastus wrote, music is one of the most fascinating, as is testified by the sources discussed in this volume. Although scanty, the material we have—sixteen texts altogether, most of which are indirect testimonies—gives an idea of the originality and modernity of Theophrastus’ thought on music, and makes us regret that we do not know more. Our philosopher conceives of music as something that originates from a movement in the soul caused by passions and comes into existence through the body. Accordingly, he is interested in performance—i.e. the way in which musical expression is brought to the listener—and its effects on the soul and the body—e.g. musical therapy.

Interest in Theophrastus, Aristotle's pupil and successor as head of the Peripatetic School, has increased considerably since the 1992 publication of Theophastus of Eresus: Sources for his Life, Works, Thought and Life . Now comes an extensive commentary on the ethical sources. It considers Theophrastus in relation to Aristotle, to other members of the Peripatos and to the Stoic philosophers who became Theophrastus' rivals. Special attention is given to Theophrastus' insistence that virtue by itself cannot guarantee happiness. Also to the difference between manners and moral virtue, the relation between innate character and fate, the value of marriage and how animal behavior relates to that of human beings.

No single theoretician provoked a greater tradition of the reception of his thought throughout changing times and across diverse cultures than did Aristotle, and so Hegel, who calls him the 'teacher of the human race', well describes the man known for ages simply as 'the philosopher'. The present volume examines from a philosophical-historical standpoint the intellect-theory of De Anima III 4-5, which stands in the center of the Aristotelian system and composes one of the most provocative Aristotelian theories. It concentrates on the critical engagement with Aristotle's conception of nous in Theophrastus and his colleagues (Dicaearchus, Aristoxenus) and students (Demetrius of Phaleron, Menander, Erasistratus) in the Peripatos as well as in the Academic, Socratic, Epicurean and Stoic schools. The analysis of the relevant texts leads to a new assessment of Theophrastus's philosophical-historical significance in the Aristotelian tradition and documents that in early Hellenism the Aristotelian theory itself played a surprisingly limited role, so that the loss of the original Aristotelian manuscripts as reported by Strabo and Plutarch - a matter hotly debated in recent studies - was of only marginal importance.Kein Theoretiker provozierte über eine ähnlich lange Zeitspanne eine so intensive, kontinuierliche und multikulturelle Rezeption wie Aristoteles. Die Geschichte der Philosophie verlangt es daher geradezu, unter der Perspektive der ebenso konstanten wie vielgestaltigen Auseinandersetzung mit "dem Philosophen" analysiert zu werden. Den geeignetsten Kristallisationspunkt hierfür stellt die in "De Anima" G 4-5 präsentierte Nous-Theorie dar, denn zum einen stand sie im Zentrum des aristotelischen "Systems", zum anderen handelt es sich bei ihr um die mit gröîter Kontinuität, höchster Intensität und unterschiedlichsten Resultaten rezipierte philosophische Theorie überhaupt.Der vorliegende Band thematisiert, im Anschluî am die "Topographie" der aristotelischen Noetik, die frühhellenistische Resonanz. Den ersten Schwerpunkt bildet Theophrasts philosophisch-kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der Nous-Konzeption seines Lehrers, den zweiten die "De Anima"-Rezeption in der damaligen Philosophie-Szene, die im wesentlichen durch drie Gruppen konstituiert wurde: Theophrasts Kollegen im "Peripatos" (Dikaiarch, Aristoxenos); Theophrasts eingene Hörerschaft (Demetrios v. Phaleron, Menander, Erasistratos); und die zahlreichte philosophische Konkurrenz: die "Akademiker", "Sokratiker", und die Schulen Epikurs bzw. Zenons. Die Analyse der relevanten Texte führt erstens zu einder grundsätzlichen Neubewertung der philosophiehistorischen Position Theophrasts. Zweitens dokumentiert sie, daî die aristotelische Theorie entgegen der heutigen opinio communis gerade im Frühhellenismus eine erstaunlich bescheidene Rolle spielte. Rezeptionsgeschichtlich kommt dem von Strabon/Plutarch berichteten und in der neueren Forschung heiîdiskutierten Verlust der aristotelischen Originalmanuscripte deshalb allenfalls eine sekondäre Bedeutung zu.

Arthur Schnitzlers einaktiges Versdrama Paracelsus, entstanden 1894-1898, spielt im Basel des 16. Jahrhunderts. Paracelsus' historischer Konflikt mit den Basler Doktoren spiegelt die für Schnitzler aktuelle Divergenz zwischen den Entdeckungen von Sigmund Freud und der konventionellen Wiener Schulmedizin. Mit dem Modell einer Hypnose, die verborgene Wünsche sowohl aufdeckt als auch suggeriert, wird eine hochambivalente Therapievariante vorgestellt, die sowohl den Narzissmus des behandelnden Arztes als auch das Begehren der Patientin bedient.Der dreizehnte Band der historisch-kritischen Ausgabe präsentiert das gesamte nachgelassene Material. Die erste Niederschrift, in der Paracelsus' persönlicher Gegner noch ein Musiker ist, unterscheidet sich dabei vor allem in der Figurencharakterisierung und Handlungsmotivation von der zweiten, in der das ärztliche Genie und ein spießiger Handwerker aufeinandertreffen. Schnitzler verlegt das ,Künstlertum' zwar vom Musischen ins Medizinische, lässt aber auch massive Kritik an der vermeintlichen Allmacht des Heilkünstlers zu.Neben der Dokumentation der Entstehungs- und Druckgeschichte bietet die Edition die faksimilierten Handschriften samt Transkription, einen kritisch geprüften Drucktext nach dem Erstdruck mit einem Variantenapparat sowie einen Kommentar. At the center of Schnitzler's one-act verse drama Paracelsus, written between 1894 and 1898 and set in sixteenth-century Basel, is a hypnosis experiment that blurs the boundaries between dream and reality. This historical critical edition documents the text's genesis and print history, and provides manuscript facsimiles including transcriptions, a critically reviewed printed text with a variants apparatus, and a commentary.
