Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NON DISPONIBILE PER KINDLE E-INK, PAPERWHITE, OASIS. Le Vite e dottrine dei più celebri filosofi in dieci libri è la più importante raccolta biografica e dossografica sui filosofi greci, dalle origini a Epicuro, che ci sia pervenuta dall'antichità. Accanto al resoconto sulla vita di ogni filosofo, arricchito sempre da aneddoti (talvolta ironici e graffianti) sui rapporti dei filosofi con i tiranni del tempo, l'autore presenta sempre una sintesi del loro pensiero e una trattazione dell'evoluzione delle singole Scuole. Tali Scuole di pensiero sono ricondotte a due origini: la filosofia ionica, cioè il circolo dei Milesii, e la filosofia italica, cioè il circolo dei Pitagorici.Dell'autore Diogene Laerzio sappiamo molto poco; si suppone che sia stato legato all'ambiente alessandrino del tardo II secolo d.C., che abbia preso parte al vivace dibattito sull'origine della filosofia e che abbia professato dottrine epicuree. In particolare, Diogene Laerzio difende l'origine greca della filosofia contro tutti coloro che, al contrario, rintracciavano presunte "filosofie" dei popoli dell'Oriente: dei Persiani, dei Fenici e degli Egiziani. Diogene, inoltre, lascia intendere che il culmine del pensiero greco sia stato Epicuro. La presente edizione è composta da un ricco Saggio introduttivo, da una Prefazione di Giovanni Reale, dalla versione italiana condotta sull'ultima edizione critica di M. Marcovich della Bibliotheca Teubneriana, che viene riprodotta a fronte con alcune necessarie varianti, e da un Indice ragionato dei nomi e dei luoghi.

Download or read book Diogenes of Sinope written by Luis Navia and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1998-09-24 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life and teachings of Diogenes of Sinope, the Greek philosopher who gave rise to classical Cynicism, deserve careful consideration because of their relevance to contemporary ethical issues. The task of reconstructing the philosopher's life, however, is exceedingly difficult, because in his case, more than in those of other ancient philosophers, we must deal not only with the scarcity of reliable sources and testimonies, but also with the mountains of anecdotal and fictional accounts that are responsible for the creation of a veritable literary legend around the Cynic who once lived in a tub. This comprehensive study reconstructs his biography on the basis of classical and Arabic sources, identifies the main ideas and principles of his philosophy, and shows the application of his philosophical message for our contemporary world. It also includes an extensively annotated translation of Diogenes Laertius' Life of Diogenes of Sinope, which is our principal source of information about the philosopher.
Download or read book Orphism and Christianity in Late Antiquity written by Miguel Herrero de Jáuregui and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010-03-26 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many recent discoveries have confirmed the importance of Orphism for ancient Greek religion, philosophy and literature. Its nature and role are still, however, among the most debated problems of Classical scholarship. A cornerstone of the question is its relationship to Christianity, which modern authors have too often discussed from apologetic perspectives or projections of the Christian model into its supposed precedent. Besides, modern approaches are strongly based on ancient ones, since Orpheus and the poems and mysteries attributed to him were fundamental in the religious controversies of Late Antiquity. Both Pagan and Christian authors often present Orphism as a precedent, alternative or imitation of Chistianity. This free and thorough study of the ancient sources sheds light on these controversial questions. The presence of the Orphic tradition in Imperial Age, documented by literary and epigraphical evidence, is confronted with the informations transmitted by Christian apologists on Orphic poems and cults. The manifold Christian treatments of Pagan sources, and their particular value to understand Greek religion, are illuminated by this specific case, which exemplifies the complex encounter between Classical culture and Jewish-Christian tradition.

Book excerpt: Diogene Laerzio è stato uno storico greco antico, la cui opera, "Vite e dottrine dei filosofi illustri", è una delle fonti principali sulla storia della filosofia greca. L'opera consiste di una serie di biografie dei filosofi greci, scritta in greco, forse nella prima metà del III secolo d. C. Spesso viene chiamata semplicemente "Le vite dei filosofi". In essa esamina 83 figure di pensatori, dai Sette Sapienti a Epicuro, ove dispone le informazioni per scuole filosofiche, rispettando le successioni dei capi delle scuole filosofiche fissate dalla tradizione. Vi sono quindi la vita, le opere, le opinioni, le dottrine dei filosofi, spesso con ampie citazioni dei testi originali, in un'opera che resta la migliore via d'accesso alla lettura e alla conoscenza della filosofia greca.
Download or read book The Cynics written by R. Bracht Branham and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays—the first of its kind in English—brings together the work of an international group of scholars examining the entire tradition associated with the ancient Cynics. The essays give a history of the movement as well as a state-of-the-art account of the literary, philosophical and cultural significance of Cynicism from antiquity to the present. Arguably the most original and influential branch of the Socratic tradition, Cynicism has become the focus of renewed scholarly interest in recent years, thanks to the work of Sloterdijk, Foucault, and Bakhtin, among others. The contributors to this volume—classicists, comparatists, and philosophers—draw on a variety of methodologies to explore the ethical, social and cultural practices inspired by the Cynics. The volume also includes an introduction, appendices, and an annotated bibliography, making it a valuable resource for a broad audience.
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Ancient Natural Scientists written by Paul T. Keyser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 1468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Ancient Natural Scientists is the first comprehensive English language work to provide a survey of all ancient natural science, from its beginnings through the end of Late Antiquity. A team of over 100 of the world’s experts in the field have compiled this Encyclopedia, including entries which are not mentioned in any other reference work – resulting in a unique and hugely ambitious resource which will prove indispensable for anyone seeking the details of the history of ancient science. Additional features include a Glossary, Gazetteer, and Time-Line. The Glossary explains many Greek (or Latin) terms difficult to translate, whilst the Gazetteer describes the many locales from which scientists came. The Time-Line shows the rapid rise in the practice of science in the 5th century BCE and rapid decline after Hadrian, due to the centralization of Roman power, with consequent loss of a context within which science could flourish.
Download or read book The Book Trade in the Italian Renaissance written by Angela Nuovo and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work offers the first English-language survey of the book industry in Renaissance Italy. Whereas traditional accounts of the book in the Renaissance celebrate authors and literary achievement, this study examines the nuts and bolts of a rapidly expanding trade that built on existing economic practices while developing new mechanisms in response to political and religious realities. Approaching the book trade from the perspective of its publishers and booksellers, this archive-based account ranges across family ambitions and warehouse fires to publishers' petitions and convivial bookshop conversation. In the process it constructs a nuanced picture of trading networks, production, and the distribution and sale of printed books, a profitable but capricious commodity. Originally published in Italian as Il commercio librario nell’Italia del Rinascimento (Milan: Franco Angeli, 1998; second, revised ed., 2003), this present English translation has not only been updated but has also been deeply revised and augmented.
