Abstract

This volume investigates the reasons why Plotinus, a philosopher inspired by Plato, made critical use of Epicurean philosophy. Eminent scholars show that some fundamental Epicurean conceptions pertaining to ethics, physics, epistemology and theology are drawn upon in the Enneads to discuss crucial notions such as pleasure and happiness, providence and fate, matter and the role of sense perception, intuition and intellectual evidence in relation to the process of knowledge acquisition. By focusing on the meaning of these terms in Epicureanism, Plotinus deploys sophisticated methods of comparative analysis and argumentative procedures that ultimately lead him to approach certain aspects of Epicurus' philosophy as a benchmark for his own theories and to accept, reject or discredit the positions of authors of his own day. At the same time, these discussions reveal what aspects of Epicurean philosophy were still perceived to be of vital relevance in the third century AD.

Abstract

The Enneadic treatise IV 7 (2) constitutes Plotinus' first attempt to reflect systematically on the problem of the immortality of the soul. It is a complex text, in which the exposition of the Plotinian doctrine is preceded by a long doxographic excursus dedicated to the refutation of the ideas of some ancient philosophical schools (Aristotelian, Epicurean, Stoic, Pythagorean). The problems posed by the treatise are addressed in this volume from an interdisciplinary perspective: historians of ancient thought and of Neoplatonism, historians of religions, historians of late antique culture, classical philologists meet in these pages to address, from very different points of view, one of the most stimulating texts left to us by Plotinus.

Abstract

In diesem Sammelband wird die Idee des Korpers und der Korperlichkeit in der Philosophie der Spatantike untersucht. Dazu werden Fragen der Ontologie, der Mathematik, der Physik, der Astronomie, der Biologie, der Anthropologie, der Politik, der Theologie und der Asthetik behandelt. Die Bedeutung des Themas ergibt sich sowohl aus seiner historischen Relevanz (fur die Bildende Kunst, die Literatur, die Fachwissenschaften, die Religion und die allgemeine Kulturgeschichte) als auch aufgrund seiner philosophischen Wichtigkeit. Vom philosophischen Standpunkt betrachtet enthalt die spatantike Reflexion uber Korperlichkeit eine beeindruckende Fulle an Bedeutungen, die in diesem Band diskutiert werden. Mit Beitragen von Riccardo Chiaradonna, Giovanni Colpani, Diego de Brasi, Sabine Follinger, Christoph Helmig, Christoph Horn, Alberto Jori, Alessandro Linguiti, Claudia Lo Casto, Christoph Markschies, Dmitri Nikulin, Federico Petrucci, Flavia Salvatori, Ambra Serangeli, Daniela Taormina, Chiara Tommasi, Denis Walter
