Abstract

Die Sentenzen des Sextus sind eine Sammlung griechischer Aphorismen aus dem zweiten Jahrhundert. Das Besondere an Sextus Sammlung ist die Tatsache, dass die Sentenzen die christliche Neufassung hellenistischer Sprüche sind, von denen einige immer noch in heidnischen Gnomologien und bei Porphyrios erhalten sind. Daniele Pevarello untersucht das Problem der Kontinuität und der Diskontinuität zwischen den asketischen Tendenzen des christlichen Übersetzers und den Aphorismen, die in den heidnischen Quellen Selbstbeherrschung propagieren.

Abstract

The history of Pythagoreanism is littered with different and incompatible interpretations, to the point that Kahn (1974) suggested that, instead of another thesis on Pythagoreanism, it would be preferable to assess traditions with the aim of producing a good historiographical presentation. This almost fourty-year-old observation by Kahn, directs the author of this book towards a fundamentally historiographical rather than philological brand of work, that is, one neither exclusively devoted to the exegesis of sources such as Philolaus, Archytas or even of one of the Hellenistic Lives nor even to the theoretical approach of one of the themes that received specific contributions from Pythagoreanism, such as mathematics, cosmology, politics or theories of the soul. Instead, this monograph sets out to reconstruct the way in which the tradition established Pythagoreanism’s image, facing one of the central problems that characterizes Pythagoreanism more than other ancient philosophical movements: the drastically shifting terrain of the criticism of the sources. The goal of this historiographical approach is to embrace Pythagoreanism in its entirety, through - and not in spite of - its complex articulation across more than a millennium.

Abstract

Est-ce l’harmonie des Sirènes dans le mythe d’Er qui s’inspire d’une doctrine remontant au pythagorisme ancien ou, inversement, est-ce la doctrine énigmatique rapportée par Jamblique et définissant l’harmonie des Sirènes comme étant la tétractys et l’oracle de Delphes, qui puise dans ce fameux passage de la République? Que signifie l’harmonie des Sirènes pour les Pythagoriciens et que signifie-t-elle pour Platon? Quel est son rapport avec le contexte philosophique de la République? Quel est le lien entre, d’une part, les thèmes pythagoricien et platonicien de l’harmonie des Sirènes et, d’autre part, le célèbre chant de ces enchanteresses dans l’Odyssée? En examinant ces questions, Irini-Fotini Viltanioti offre, pour la première fois, une étude systématique de la formulation mythique de la fameuse théorie pythagoricienne dite de “l’harmonie des sphères” dans la République de Platon et dans le Mode de vie pythagoricien de Jamblique. En comblant un vide important dans la recherche actuelle, ce livre constitue une contribution décisive au domaine des études pythagoriciennes et platoniciennes. Is the harmony of the Sirens in Plato’s Myth of Er derived from Early Pythagorean doctrine or is the doctrine, which in Iamblichus’ On the Pythagorean Way of Life, defines the harmony of the Sirens as being the tetractys and the oracle at Delphi, a Pseudo-pythagorean invention drawing upon this famous passage in Plato’s Republic? What does the harmony of the Sirens mean for the Pythagoreans and what does it mean for Plato? Does the Platonic image of the Sirens do any philosophical work within the context of the Republic? What is the connection, if any, between the Platonic and Pythagorean themes of the harmony of the Sirens, on one hand, and the song of the Sirens in Homer’s Odyssey, on the other? By investigating these and other relevant questions, Irini-Fotini Viltanioti offers, for the first time, a sustained study of the mythological rendition of the famous Pythagorean theory of the so-called “Harmony of the Spheres” in Plato’s Republic and in Iamblichus’ On the Pythagorean Way of Life. Filling this serious gap in current literature, this book is an important contribution to the field of Pythagorean and Platonic studies.

Abstract

The purpose of the conference “On Pythagoreanism”, held in Brasilia in 2011, was to bring together leading scholars from all over the world to define the status quaestionis for the ever-increasing interest and research on Pythagoreanism in the 21st century. The papers included in this volume exemplify the variety of topics and approaches now being used to understand the polyhedral image of one of the most fascinating and long-lasting intellectual phenomena in Western history. Cornelli’s paper opens the volume by charting the course of Pythagorean studies over the past two centuries. The remaining contributions range chronologically from Pythagoras and the early Pythagoreans of the archaic period (6th-5th centuries BCE) through the classical, hellenistic and late antique periods, to the eighteenth century. Thematically they treat the connections of Pythagoreanism with Orphism and religion, with mathematics, metaphysics and epistemology and with politics and the Pythagorean way of life.

Abstract

In recent years, most political theorists have agreed that shame shouldn't play any role in democratic politics because it threatens the mutual respect necessary for participation and deliberation. But Christina Tarnopolsky argues that not every kind of shame hurts democracy. In fact, she makes a powerful case that there is a form of shame essential to any critical, moderate, and self-reflexive democratic practice. Through a careful study of Plato's Gorgias, Tarnopolsky shows that contemporary conceptions of shame are far too narrow. For Plato, three kinds of shame and shaming practices were possible in democracies, and only one of these is similar to the form condemned by contemporary thinkers. Following Plato, Tarnopolsky develops an account of a different kind of shame, which she calls "respectful shame." This practice involves the painful but beneficial shaming of one's fellow citizens as part of the ongoing process of collective deliberation. And, as Tarnopolsky argues, this type of shame is just as important to contemporary democracy as it was to its ancient form. Tarnopolsky also challenges the view that the Gorgias inaugurates the problematic oppositions between emotion and reason, and rhetoric and philosophy. Instead, she shows that, for Plato, rationality and emotion belong together, and she argues that political science and democratic theory are impoverished when they relegate the study of emotions such as shame to other disciplines.

Abstract

Most anyone interested in such topics as creation mythology, Jungian theory, or the idea of "secret teachings" in ancient Judaism and Christianity has found "gnosticism" compelling. Yet the term "gnosticism," which often connotes a single rebellious movement against the prevailing religions of late antiquity, gives the false impression of a monolithic religious phenomenon. Here Michael Williams challenges the validity of the widely invoked category of ancient "gnosticism" and the ways it has been described. Presenting such famous writings and movements as the Apocryphon of John and Valentinian Christianity, Williams uncovers the similarities and differences among some major traditions widely categorized as gnostic. He provides an eloquent, systematic argument for a more accurate way to discuss these interpretive approaches. The modern construct "gnosticism" is not justified by any ancient self-definition, and many of the most commonly cited religious features that supposedly define gnosticism phenomenologically turn out to be questionable. Exploring the sample sets of "gnostic" teachings, Williams refutes generalizations concerning asceticism and libertinism, attitudes toward the body and the created world, and alleged features of protest, parasitism, and elitism. He sketches a fresh model for understanding ancient innovations on more "mainstream" Judaism and Christianity, a model that is informed by modern research on dynamics in new religious movements and is freed from the false stereotypes from which the category "gnosticism" has been constructed.

Abstract

Explaining the Cosmos is a major reinterpretation of Greek scientific thought before Socrates. Focusing on the scientific tradition of philosophy, Daniel Graham argues that Presocratic philosophy is not a mere patchwork of different schools and styles of thought. Rather, there is a discernible and unified Ionian tradition that dominates Presocratic debates. Graham rejects the common interpretation of the early Ionians as "material monists" and also the view of the later Ionians as desperately trying to save scientific philosophy from Parmenides' criticisms. In Graham's view, Parmenides plays a constructive role in shaping the scientific debates of the fifth century BC. Accordingly, the history of Presocratic philosophy can be seen not as a series of dialectical failures, but rather as a series of theoretical advances that led to empirical discoveries. Indeed, the Ionian tradition can be seen as the origin of the scientific conception of the world that we still hold today.

Abstract

In today's unpredictable and chaotic world, we look to science to provide certainty and answers--and often blame it when things go wrong. The Blind Spot reveals why our faith in scientific certainty is a dangerous illusion, and how only by embracing science's inherent ambiguities and paradoxes can we truly appreciate its beauty and harness its potential. Crackling with insights into our most perplexing contemporary dilemmas, from climate change to the global financial meltdown, this book challenges our most sacredly held beliefs about science, technology, and progress. At the same time, it shows how the secret to better science can be found where we least expect it--in the uncertain, the ambiguous, and the inevitably unpredictable. William Byers explains why the subjective element in scientific inquiry is in fact what makes it so dynamic, and deftly balances the need for certainty and rigor in science with the equally important need for creativity, freedom, and downright wonder. Drawing on an array of fascinating examples--from Wall Street's overreliance on algorithms to provide certainty in uncertain markets, to undecidable problems in mathematics and computer science, to Georg Cantor's paradoxical but true assertion about infinity--Byers demonstrates how we can and must learn from the existence of blind spots in our scientific and mathematical understanding. The Blind Spot offers an entirely new way of thinking about science, one that highlights its strengths and limitations, its unrealized promise, and, above all, its unavoidable ambiguity. It also points to a more sophisticated approach to the most intractable problems of our time.
