Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient European Philosophy: The History of Greek Philosophy Psychologically Treated In these days not a few European writers on Philosophy have proclaimed the demise and dis appearance of the science to which they have devoted their powers. Philosophy, then, has run its course but what new discipline is to take its place? Such is the coming problem. Other writers have been willing to grant to Philosophy a fresh lease Of life, if it can only be brought to mend its ways. And the way often recom mended to it is that of Natural Science, or the purely experimental method. Such a solution, however, though it has been offered by meta physicians as well as by scientists, could only end in the abolition or at least the enslavement of Philosophy as conceived by its greatest mas ters. An outcome of this sort seems not alto gether satisfactory, and so the solvent word remains unspoken. On the other hand, there are men who are still constructing or re-constructing systems of Philosophy, wrought after the Old pattern with new additions here and there, and spiced usually with sharp criticisms on all other systems. Of such Germany has been and still is the prolific home. In the first half of the past century, Philosophy-building became the chief occupa tion of the highest order of German intellect, with wonderful results; in the second half it was still kept up, though the output was less in quantity, and far inferior in originality. The result, however, can hardly be denied: ancient Greece and modern Germany Show the two highest points in the development of Philosophy. But is this all of it? What is to be its future? In its antique and in its modern periods it seems to lie before us rounded out and complete. IS it again to be an epoch-making utterance Of human spirit?

Download or read book Allegory in Early Greek Philosophy written by Jennifer Lobo Meeks and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allegory in Early Greek Philosophy examines the role that allegory plays in Greek thought, particularly in the transition from the mythic tradition of the archaic poets to the philosophical traditions of the Presocratics and Plato. It explores how a mode of speech that "says one thing, but means another" is integral to philosophy, which otherwise seeks to achieve clarity and precision in its discourse. By providing the early Greek thinkers with a way of defending and appropriating the poetic wisdom of their predecessors, allegory enables philosophy to locate and recover its own origins in the mythic tradition. Allegory allows philosophy simultaneously to move beyond mythos and express the whole in terms of logos, a rational account in which reality is represented in a more abstract and universal way than myth allows.

Download or read book Handbook of Greek Philosophy written by Nikolaos Bakalis and published by Trafford on Demand Pub. This book was released on 2005 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Greek Philosophy is a real guide for anyone who wants to know about Ancient Greek philosophy, but he does not know how to start. Since there are thousands of writings about it, the one who is eager to be informed of Greek philosophy, is all at sea. With the present study one can be gradually initiated into the main principles of the great philosophers, whose thought is the basis of the modern philosophical thought. Due to chronological presentation of the fifteen Greek philosophical schools, the reader can gradually get to the understanding of the philosophical terms and concepts, beginning with the simple (of Thales, Anaximander etc..) and proceeding to the most complex ones (Plato, Aristotle etc..). The original fragments, which have been carefully selected out of thousands, along with their thorough analysis, can enable the reader to fathom the reasoning of the Greek thinkers, and acquire a deep comprehension of their Gnoseology (Epistemology), Ontology and Ethics. With this substantial work of scholarship, both the student and the teacher of philosophy alike can find useful concepts, ideas and quotations, so as to broaden their knowledge and views of philosophy. Apart from that, this essay can help them to make a further inquiry concerning Ontology and Ethics of Greek Philosophy.

Download or read book Overcoming Uncertainty in Ancient Greek Political Philosophy written by J. Noel Hubler and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overcoming Uncertainty in Ancient Greek Political Philosophy makes an historical and theoretical contribution by explaining the role of opinion in ancient Greek political philosophy, showing its importance for Aristotle’s theory of deliberation, and indicating a new model for a deliberative republic. Currently, there are no studies of opinion in ancient Greek political theory and so the book breaks new historical ground. The book establishes that opinion is key for the political theories of Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics because each sees uncertainty as a problem that needs to be overcome if one is to establish a virtuous polity. Since they have different notions of the nature of the uncertainty of opinion, they develop very different political strategies to overcome it. The book explains that Plato’s and the Stoics’ analyses of uncertainty support oligarchy and monarchy, respectively, and that theoretical support for deliberate politics requires a more nuanced understanding of uncertainty that only Aristotle provides.
Download or read book The Political Philosophy of the European City written by Ferenc Hörcher and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-06-03 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Political Philosophy of the European City is a courageous and wide-ranging panorama of the political life and thought of the European city. Its novel hypothesis is that modern Western political thought, since the time of Hobbes and Locke, underestimated the political significance and value of the community of urban citizens, called ‘civitas’, united by local customs, or even a formal or informal urban constitution at a certain location, which had a recognizable countenance, with natural and man-made, architectural marks, called ‘urbs’. Recalling the golden age of the European city in ancient Greece and Rome, and offering a detailed description of its turbulent life in the Renaissance Italian city-states, it makes a case for the city not only as a hotbed of modern democracy, but also as a remedy for some of the distortions of political life in the alienated contemporary, centralized, Weberian bureaucratic state. Overcoming the north-south divide, or the core and periphery partition, the book’s material is particularly rich in Central European case studies. All in all, it is an enjoyable read which offers sound arguments to revisit the offer of the small and middle-sized European town, in search of a more sustainable future for Europe.

Download or read book Hellenic Philosophy written by Christos C. Evangeliou and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the historical origin and the critical development of Hellenic philosophy from vague and indeterminate beginnings to its classical maturity and fruition in the minds, words and works of the Athenian philosophers, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, this book argues that dignified nobility, respectful critique and unfettered freedom of thought and expression clearly defined the character of Classical Hellenic philosophy and that this distinguishes it from philosophies of different eras. Evangeliou examines the historical influence of Hellenic philosophy and its complex global relations to other non-Hellenic philosophies of Africa, Asia and Europe and also considers certain contemporary and sensitive issues, which relate to the nature of Western culture and European philosophy. Radical and revisionary in nature, this work challenges many of the long cherished myths about the influence of Classical Hellenic philosophy on the tradition of Western thought.
