Download or read book Secrecy and Concealment written by Hans Kippenberg and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with secrecy and concealment in the history of mediterranean religions as pattern of social interaction. Secrecy is a powerful means in establishing identity and interaction as G. Simmel has demonstrated. Using his approach the scholars of this volume describe and explain the practical meaning of concealment in two different religious systems: in Egyptian and Greek polytheism and in Jewish, Christian, Gnostic and Shi'i monotheisms. This point of view reveals that all these religions shaped social norms concerning public and private aspects of the human self.
Download or read book Fichtes Bildtheorie im Kontext Teil I written by Christian Klotz and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Fichte’s late philosophy, the concept of image becomes the central notion of the Science of Knowledge. Both the representational reference of consciousness to the objects of its experience and its relation to an absolute being which transcends all appearances are explained from the image-like character which consciousness acquires through its own activity. The present volume collects contributions which contextualize Fichte’s theory of image in various respects, focusing on its relation to pre-modern theories of image, its changing role in the development of Fichte’s thinking and its place within Fichte’s foundation of philosophy in the area between theory of truth or validity and ontology. Der Bildbegriff wird in Fichtes Spätphilosophie zum zentralen Begriff der Wissenschaftslehre. Sowohl der repräsentationale Bezug des Bewusstseins zu den Gegenständen seiner Erfahrung, als auch sein Verhältnis zu einem alle Erscheinungen übersteigenden absoluten Sein wird hierbei aus der von ihm selbst aktiv ausgebildeten Bildeigenschaft des Bewusstseins verstanden. Der vorliegende Band versammelt Beiträge, die Fichtes Bildtheorie in verschiedenen Hinsichten kontextualisieren, wobei ihr Verhältnis zu prä-modernen Bildtheorien, ihre wechselnde Rolle in der Entwicklung von Fichtes Denken und ihre im Spannungsfeld von Wahrheits- bzw. Geltungstheorie und Ontologie angesiedelte Stellung in Fichtes Grundlegung der Philosophie im Mittelpunkt stehen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plato is one of the most widely read and studied philosophers of all time. A pivotal figure in the history of philosophy, his work is foundational to the Western philosophical tradition. The Platonic Mind provides an extensive survey of his work, not only placing it in its historical context but also exploring its contemporary significance. Comprising over 30 specially commissioned chapters by an international team of contributors, the volume is divided into three clear parts: Reading Plato’s Dialogues Themes From Plato Plato’s Influences and Significance Within these sections key topics are addressed including the nature of reality and the physical world; human cognition, including knowledge, sense perception, and affective states; society, politics, and law; his method of inquiry and literary style; his influence on subsequent thinkers and traditions; and studies on a wide range of individual Platonic dialogues. Plato’s work is central to the study of ancient philosophy, Greek philosophy, history of philosophy, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, political philosophy, epistemology, philosophy of science, ethics, philosophy of language, legal philosophy, and philosophy of religion. As such The Platonic Mind is essential reading for all students and researchers in philosophy. It will also be of interest to those studying Plato in related disciplines such as politics, law, ancient history, literature, and religious studies.

Download or read book Lectures on Ancient Philosophy written by Ernst Cassirer and published by Felix Meiner Verlag. This book was released on 2022-03-21 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mit diesem Band werden Cassirers 1935 in Oxford und 1942 in New Haven gehaltene Vorlesungen zur antiken Philosophie erstmals für Forschung und Studium zugänglich gemacht. Cassirer zeigt, wie sich in der griechischen Kultur ein neuer – ein theoretischer, philosophischer – Denkstil entfaltet, der den bis dahin vorherrschenden mythischen Denkstil ablöst. Die Vorlesungen richten sich an Philosophiestudierende und geben deshalb einen breiten, einführenden Überblick über die Denkentwicklung von den Ioniern über Platon und Aristoteles bis zu den Neuplatonikern. Sie behandeln aber auch Fragen und Begriffe, die nach Cassirers Auffassung bis ins 20. Jahrhundert hinein bedeutsam geblieben sind, weil auf ihnen das moderne wissenschaftliche wie philosophische Denken fußt. Zudem legt Cassirer Wert auf den Nachweis, dass die vielfältigen – neuen – philosophischen Begriffe in den Lehren der antiken Denker eine Einheit bilden, die von einem bestimmten Prinzip des Denkens getragen und bestimmt ist. Besonders interessant sind die Vorlesungen über Platon und Aristoteles. Cassirer schätzte Platons Ideenlehre sehr; darüber hinaus setzt er sich hier auch kritisch mit historischen Platonauslegungen auseinander. Die Vorlesung über Aristoteles wiederum stellt den einzigen größeren diesem Philosophen gewidmeten Text von Cassirers Hand dar.

Download or read book Rewriting the History of Ancient Greek Philosophy written by Victorino Tejera and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1997-11-20 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines what we can reliably know about Plato and the historical Socrates. It shows how pervasively the sources of information were biased by Pythagoreanism, Platonism, and Neoplatonism. It gives a source-critical account of how the climate of opinion in fourth-century Athens was captured by the Pythagoreans and how Speusippos's Academy also came to be pythagorized—adding definitional idealism to Pythagorean number idealism, and elevating Plato to a divine level that makes him into a coequal of Pythagoras, thus capturing Plato for Pythagoreanism. By showing how Plato's dialogues were dedramatized, dedialogized, and read or understood as if they were works expounding pythagorizing doctrine, Tejera has created a provocative reappraisal for scholars of ancient Greek philosophy.
