The Hellenistic period was a rich and exciting time for philosophy. It saw the birth of two new schools of thought, Epicureanism and Stoicism, and important developments in Plato's Academy. Aristotelians and Cynics were also active during the period, all of which created a vibrant philosophical landscape. Many of the ideas now associated with early modern and enlightenment philosophy - such as empiricism, materialism, and religious scepticism - were widely discussed by Hellenistic philosophers. In Hellenistic Philosophy, Sellars offers a thematic introduction to the philosophy of this era. The author highlights the very practical outlook common of the time, in which philosophy was seen as a guide for life, and summarizes the key debates on a series of topics, ranging from epistemology to political philosophy. The works of Hellenistic philosophers had a vital influence on later thought, and especially on the development of early modern philosophy. In providing an accessible outline of this important era, the book is of particular use to students and general readers interested in the period. It is also an invaluable resource for teaching with its guide to Hellenistic philosophers, chronology, and extensive cross-references to standard collections of ancient texts.

Wilhelm von Humboldt n'est jamais allé en Grèce et, pourtant, il est l'un des principaux inventeurs d'une Grèce reconstruite à l'usage de l'Allemagne du xixe siècle, le fondateur du mythe grec des Allemands. Sa pensée néo-humaniste est aussi une pensée politique, esquissée dans le projet d'ouvrage sur le déclin de la cité-État grecque qui l'occupa durant son ambassade à Rome et qui affirme la supériorité culturelle du modèle grec. Dans ses réflexions sur l'Antiquité, Humboldt découvre une vaste perspective de recherches : le rayonnement de la Grèce ne peut être compris qu'à travers l'analyse de la langue grecque, dont la supériorité ne peut à son tour être démontrée qu'à travers une description critique de l'ensemble des langues humaines. La Grèce est pour l'Allemagne une porte vers l'universel. Mode de formation des élites, la philologie en fournit les clés et inspire le combat éclairé pour la renaissance de la Grèce. Les contributions réunies dans ce volume mettent en lumière des dimensions fondamentales de l'hellénisme prôné par Humboldt et font percevoir les traces profondes qu'il a laissées dans la pensée du xixe siècle. Elles sont complétées par la traduction de ses principaux textes sur la Grèce.

In the Hellenistic period (c.323-31 BCE), Greek teachers, philosophers, historians, orators, and politicians found an essential point of reference in the democracy of Classical Athens and the political thought which it produced. However, while Athenian civic life and thought in the Classical period have been intensively studied, these aspects of the Hellenistic period have so far received much less attention. This volume seeks to bring together the two areas of research, shedding new light on these complementary parts of the history of the ancient Greek polis. The essays collected here encompass historical, philosophical, and literary approaches to the various Hellenistic responses to and adaptations of Classical Athenian politics. They survey the complex processes through which Athenian democratic ideals of equality, freedom, and civic virtue were emphasized, challenged, blunted, or reshaped in different Hellenistic contexts and genres. They also consider the reception, in the changed political circumstances, of Classical Athenian non- and anti-democratic political thought. This makes it possible to investigate how competing Classical Athenian ideas about the value or shortcomings of democracy and civic community continued to echo through new political debates in Hellenistic cities and schools. Looking ahead to the Roman Imperial period, the volume also explores to what extent those who idealized Classical Athens as a symbol of cultural and intellectual excellence drew on, or forgot, its legacy of democracy and vigorous political debate. By addressing these different questions it not only tracks changes in practices and conceptions of politics and the city in the Hellenistic world, but also examines developing approaches to culture, rhetoric, history, ethics, and philosophy, and especially their relationships with politics.
