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.

The significance of Plato’s literary style to the content of his ideas is perhaps one of the central problems in the study of Plato and Ancient Philosophy as a whole. As Samuel Scolnicov points out in this collection, many other philosophers have employed literary techniques to express their ideas, just as many literary authors have exemplified philosophical ideas in their narratives, but for no other philosopher does the mode of expression play such a vital role in their thought as it does for Plato. And yet, even after two thousand years there is still no consensus about why Plato expresses his ideas in this distinctive style. Selected from the first Latin American Area meeting of the International Plato Society (www.platosociety.org) in Brazil in 2012, the following collection of essays presents some of the most recent scholarship from around the world on the wide range of issues related to Plato’s dialogue form. The essays can be divided into three categories. The first addresses general questions concerning Plato’s literary style. The second concerns the relation of his style to other genres and traditions in Ancient Greece. And the third examines Plato’s characters and his purpose in using them.

Plato?s political philosophy is one of the most controversial facets of ancient thought. Because of its wide influence on the political thought of the last century, most of Plato?s ideas are still under debate and he is seen either as the origin of totalitarian movements or as the predecessor of the current rule of law and the father of western democracy. If the evaluation of Plato?s different political proposals has been the object of contradictory interpretations, his own appreciation of the existing political systems creates a matter of many historical debates, too. This volume treats different aspects of Plato?s conflicting relationship to the city-state. It presents original approaches to Plato?s reflections on the city and his problems.

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.

A coleção “Filosofia e tradição” é um reflexo das atividades da Cátedra UNESCO Archai, que, desde 2001, promove investigações, organiza seminários e elabora publicações com o intuito de estabelecer uma metodologia de trabalho e constituir um espaço interdisciplinar de reflexão filosófica sobre as origens do pensamento ocidental. O objetivo fundamental consiste em compreender, com base em uma perspectiva cultural, a nossa tradição, isto é, de onde viemos, para que possamos compreender nossos caminhos presentes e desejos futuros. Nesse sentido,visando a uma apreensão rigorosa do processo de formação da filosofia e, de modo mais amplo, do pensamento ocidental, os problemas que orientam as pesquisas da Cátedra UNESCO Archai são de ordem histórica, ética e política. Trata-se de uma reação ao mal-estar experimentado com a forma excessivamente presentista de se contar a história desse processo de formação, forma que pensa a filosofia como um saber estanque, independente das condições históricas que permitiram o surgimento desse tipo de discurso.A proposta de trabalho historiográfico-filosófico da Cátedra procura, portanto, lançar um olhar diferente sobre os primórdios do pensamento ocidental, em busca de novos caminhos de interpretação éticos, políticos, artísticos, culturais e religiosos. Este trabalho dedica-se, em particular, a enraizar o “nascimento da filosofia” na cultura antiga, e se contrapõe

A presente obra é o resultado de dois seminários de pesquisa que reuniram a Cátedra UNESCO Archai da Universidade de Brasília, o Centro de Estudos Clássicos e Humanísticos da Universidade de Coimbra e o Grupo Filosofia Antiga da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais em dezembro de 2011 em Brasília (Brasil) e em março de 2012 na antiga cidade de Eleia (hoje Ascea Marina, Itália), com o objetivo de realizar uma estudo exploratório tendo em vista a preparação de uma nova edição em língua portuguesa da obra "Vidas e Doutrinas dos Filósofos Ilustres" de Diógenes Laércio. O estudo preparatório resultou nesta coleção de ensaios inéditos e ricos de estímulos e sugestões para a compreensão, imediatamente, da obra de Diógenes Laércio. O volume traz para o debate um panorama de questões sobre a obra e a sua receção, assim como estudos mais específicos dedicados a uma passagem ou a uma das biografias, desejando desta forma constituir-se num trabalho de referência para os pesquisadores de Diógenes Laércio em língua portuguesa.
