Abstract

Die Hermes Trismegistos zugeschriebenen Texte wurden lange Zeit als Zeugen uralter göttlich vermittelter Weisheit verehrt. Unter ihnen nimmt der Asclepius durch seine lateinische Sprache und die Komplexität seiner Lehre eine Sonderstellung ein. Heute gilt der Hermetismus als Frucht der Begegnung zwischen Griechen und Ägyptern, in einer historischen Epoche, die eine Versöhnung der Kulturen und Erlösung in der Einheit von Religion und Philosophie ersehnte.

Abstract

"Claude était éminemment habile à converser. Car il écoutait. Il écoutait attentivement et pesamment. Il jaugeait les paroles qu'il entendait, et réfléchissait longuement avant de hasarder une réponse. Si longuement que le narrateur en est perplexe, au début. De toute évidence, il n'était pas de ces gens qui, selon La Bruyère, " parlent un moment avant que d'avoir pensé ". Il y a donc un paradoxe : un livre de conversations avec quelqu'un qui ne parlait guère! Pourtant, malgré tout, des liens se sont noués. Il y a eu rencontre de ces êtres, qui sont sans doute, au départ tout au moins, un dilemme l'un pour l'autre : d'un côté un quasi analphabète, mais homme sage; d'autre part un universitaire, littéraire en plus, prolixe par déformation professionnelle ... Le livre de dialogues a une longue et vénérable histoire. Il a eu cours, en particulier aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, mais on peut retracer son origine jusqu'aux dialogues platoniques, mettant en scène Socrate et divers interlocuteurs. Certes, ce petit livre n'a pas la prétention de s'insérer dans la prestigieuse série des dialogues illustrée entre autres par Platon, Sénèque, Diderot, Fontenelle, David Hume, voire Marguerite de Navarre ou encore Voltaire, celui-ci sur un mode satirique. Tout simplement, il fait état d'une rencontre"--Publisher's description.

Abstract

After Plato and Aristotle, the Stoics, from the third century BCE onwards, developed the third great classical conception of wisdom. This book offers a reconstruction of this pivotal notion in Stoicism, starting out from the two extant Stoic definitions, 'knowledge of human and divine matters' and 'fitting expertise'. It focuses not only on the question of what they understood by wisdom, but also on how wisdom can be achieved, how difficult it is to become a sage, and how this difficulty can be explained. The answers to these questions are based on a fresh investigation of the evidence, with all central texts offered in the original Greek or Latin, as well as in translation. The Stoic Sage can thus also serve as a source book on Stoic wisdom, which should be invaluable to specialists and to anyone interested in one of the cornerstones of the Graeco-Roman classical tradition.

Abstract

Wisdoms have often been considered either as meek servants to religions, or as timorous and mediocre ways of living. Resting on a new and long awaited comparative study (of buddhism, yoga, christian spirituality and ancient philosophies), this book restores these wisdoms into their fascinating and vigorous personality. Because they reject the marvelous, display resolute ethics and highly efficient mental techniques, they deserve to be considered one of the major conquests of humanity. Thanks to them, and to the lucid look they incited men to cast upon themselves, the latter discovered the means to strenghten their personality and stand up to the ordeals of this life. It may lie within this brave acceptance of their condition the highest proof of humanity one might imagine.

Abstract

This volume consists of an edition, a translation and a commentary of the most important fragments of 4QInstruction. Initially it deals with the linguistic characteristics of the scroll highlighting the links between 4QInstruction and Ben Sira, and also with the Community Rule and the Hodayot. It then investigates the Sapiential fragments dealing with poverty, husband-wife and parent-child relationships. Finally it examines the eschatological fragments. The work seeks to improve the edition and understanding of this fundamental text enhancing our knowledge of the history and development of thinking at Qumran. Moreover, it examines links which 4QInstruction establishes between purely Sapiential discourse and descriptions of eschatological judgement. This study substantially illuminates our understanding of the Wisdom movement in the early intertestamental period.

Abstract

"This book contributes to the rethinking of the Dead Sea Scrolls as an essential and integral part of Judaism in the Greco-Roman period. The Qumran manuscripts attest to the reconfiguration of Jewish wisdom concepts in this period. Strikingly, reflection on time as the organizing principle behind all of reality is formative for these emerging concepts, which are expressed by the enigmatic phrase rāz nihyeh. The secret of time invites us to venture beyond existing categorizations and explore a rich conceptual framework that is manifested across a wide range of texts, beyond generic categories, and overcoming the sectarian divide"

Abstract

"In Sirach and Its Contexts an international cohort of experts on the book of Sirach locate this second-century BCE Jewish wisdom text in its various contexts: literary, historical, philosophical, textual, cultural, and political. First compiled by a Jewish sage around 185 BCE, this instruction enjoyed a vibrant ongoing reception history through the middle ages up to the present, resulting in a multiform textual tradition as it has been written, rewritten, transmitted, and studied. Sirach was not composed as a book in the modern sense but rather as an ongoing stream of tradition. Heretofore studied largely in confessional settings as part of the Deuterocanonical literature, this volume brings together essays that take a broadly humanistic approach, in order to understand what an ancient wisdom text can teach us about the pursuit of wisdom and human flourishing"--
