Abstract

"The Greek biographer and philosopher Plutarch of Chaeronea (c. 45-125 AD) makes a fascinating case-study for reception studies not least because of his uniquely extensive and diverse afterlife. Brill's Companion to the Reception of Plutarch offers the first comprehensive analysis of Plutarch's rich reception history from the Roman Imperial period through Late Antiquity and Byzantium to the Renaissance, Enlightenment and the modern era. The thirty-seven chapters that make up this volume, written by a remarkable line-up of experts, explore the appreciation, contestation and creative appropriation of Plutarch himself, his thought and work in the history of literature across various cultures and intellectual traditions in Europe, America, North Africa, and the Middle East. Contributors are: Eran Almagor, Arkadiy Avdokhin, Francesco Becchi, Paul Bishop, Mauro Bonazzi, Michele Curnis, Aileen Das, Eudoxia Delli, Miryana Dimitrova, Christopher Edelman, Stephanos Efthymiadis, Françoise Frazier, Michael Grünbart, Olivier Guerrier, Isobel Hurst, Katarzyna Jażdżewska, Theofili Kampianaki, Frieda Klotz, Pauline Koetschet, Florin Leonte, Michele Lucchesi, Francesco Manzini, Sébastien Morlet, András Németh, Katerina Oikonomopoulou, Marianne Pade, Aurelio Pérez Jiménez, Inmaculada Pérez Martín, Diether Roderich Reinsch, David Ricks, Alberto Rigolio, Geert Roskam, Thomas Schmidt, Elsa Giovanna Simonetti, Alicia Simpson, Fabio Stok, Maria Vamvouri Ruffy, Sophia Xenophontos"--

Abstract

The way Plato discusses time and its relation to the cosmos has puzzled and divided his readers from the very beginning. This originated rich and diverse readings that shaped and contributed to the cosmological discussion of the Hellenistic and Late Antiquity periods. Modern scholars too, have offered many and often opposed views on the matter.This book assembles an international team of scholars to move forward the study of Plato's conception of time, to find fresh insights for interpreting his cosmology, and to reimagine the ancient Platonic tradition.
