Abstract

Der tschechische Philologe Karel Janáček (1906 - 1996) war "the most eminent Sextan scholar of the century" (Jonathan Barnes). Neben seinen beiden Sextus-Monographien (Prolegomena to Sextus Empiricus, 1948; Sextus Empiricus' Sceptical Methods, 1972) und seinen Indices zu Sextus und zu Diogenes Laertius veröffentlichte er insgesamt fünfzig Artikel zu Sextus und den mit Sextus zusammenhängenden Themen. Es handelt sich um methodologisch streng geführte philologische Untersuchungen, die ein neues Licht auf Sextus' Werk und dessen Beziehungen zu anderen Autoren wie Diogenes Laertius, Hippolyt von Rom und Philon von Alexandrien geworfen haben. Die Studien wie "Sextus Empiricus an der Arbeit" oder "Die Hauptschrift des Sextus Empiricus als Torso erhalten?" stellen Meisterstücke philologischer Forschung dar. Janáčeks im Laufe von mehr als fünfzig Jahren in schwierig auffindbaren Zeitschriften und Sammelbänden veröffentlichten Studien liegen alle in diesem Band versammelt vor. Zehn ursprünglich auf tschechisch verfassten Studien - darunter eine eingehende "Analyse der Berichte über die Philosophie der Gorgias" - erscheinen hier zum ersten Mal in der Übertragung ins Deutsche. Der Band wird durch eine Würdigung von Karl Janáčeks wissenschaftlichem Œuvre und Persönlichkeit eingeleitet.

Abstract

Sextus Empiricus' Against the Physicists examines numerous topics central to ancient Greek inquiries into the nature of the physical world, covering subjects such as god, cause and effect, whole and part, bodies, place, motion, time, number, coming into being and perishing and is the most extensive surviving treatment of these topics by an ancient Greek sceptic. Sextus scrutinizes the theories of non-sceptical thinkers and generates suspension of judgement through the assembly of equally powerful opposing arguments. Richard Bett's edition provides crucial background information about the text and elucidation of difficult passages. His accurate and readable translation is supported by substantial interpretative aids, including a glossary and a list of parallel passages relating Against the Physicists to other works by Sextus. This is an indispensable edition for advanced students and scholars studying this important work by an influential philosopher.

Abstract

Scholarship on ancient Pyrrhonism has made tremendous advances over the past three decades, thanks especially to the careful reexamination of Sextus Empiricus’ extant corpus. Building on this momentum, the authors of the eight essays collected here examine some of the most vexed and intriguing exegetical and philosophical questions posed by Sextus’ presentation of this form of skepticism. The essays explore in a new light the skeptical interpretation of Plato, the differences between Pyrrhonism and Cyrenaicism, the Pyrrhonist’s stance on ordinary life, religion, language, and ethics, Sextus’ discussion of our access to our own mental states, and the relationship between Pyrrhonism and epistemic internalism and externalism. These new essays represent a substantial contribution to the advancement of scholarship on Pyrrhonian skepticism.

Abstract

The two books of Sextus Empiricus' Against the Physicists have not received much attention in their own right, as sustained and methodical specimens of sceptical philosophy. This volume redresses the balance by offering a series of in-depth studies on them, focusing in particular on their overall argumentative structure and on the various ways in which their formal features relate to their contents, showing how Sextus' procedures vary from one section to the other, and throwing new light on the way he was using his sources. It follows Sextus' own division of these two books into nine successive topics, namely god, cause, wholes and parts, body, place, motion, time, number, coming-to-be and passing-away. These nine chapters are preceded by an introduction which discusses a number of general features of Sextus' scepticism and links the conclusions of this volume to some recent discussions on the scope of ancient scepticism.
