Book excerpt: Excerpt from The School of Plato: Its Origin, Development, and Revival Under the Roman Empire I am afraid that my title will appear somewhat of a misnomer, and that a certain inconsistency will be observed in my treatment of the subject. After all, it is the Roman Imperial Aye, and no other, which aroused the initial interest; faintly (I fear) reflected in this book. And yet the whole course of Greet: speculation is examined, from start to finish, from a peculiar and restricted standpoint. I hope that this embrace of an almost infinite topic will be pardoned: it did not, to me, seem possible to account for the phenomena of Roman Platonism or Stoicism (in reality, much the same thing), unless in such a survey we had attempted to understand the intrinsic spring of bewilderment and philosophy, - I mean the selfish desire for personal happiness, attained only by a satisfactory inter-pretation of our own nature, and the wider Nature that enfolds, restrains, and perhaps completes it.

Download or read book Imperial Plato written by Ryan Fowler and published by Parmenides Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-29 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imperial Plato presents new translations of three introductions to Plato's thought from the second half of the second century CE: the Introduction to Plato by Albinus of Smyrna, Dissertation 11 of Maximus of Tyre, and On Plato and his Teaching by Apuleius of Madaurus. These three presentations of Plato's ideas-one a Greek dialectic introduction with a suggested reading order for Plato's dialogues, another a Greek speech in the sophistic style of the time, and one a lengthy doxological study in Latin-are examples by three distinct authors using divergent methods of the assorted ways in which Plato and Platonism were understood and discussed during the revival of Hellenism and Greek Philosophy, and the period of the Roman Empire often referred to as the Second Sophistic.

Download or read book Aspects of Orality and Greek Literature in the Roman Empire written by Consuelo Ruiz-Montero and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orality was the backbone of ancient Greek culture throughout its different periods. This volume will serve to deepen the reader’s knowledge of how Greek texts circulated during the Roman Empire. The studies included here approach the subject from both a literary and a sociocultural point of view, illuminating the interconnections between literary and social practices. Topics considered include epigraphy, the rhetoric of transmitting the texts, language and speech, performance, theatre, narrative representation, material culture, and the interaction of different cultures. Since orality is a widespread phenomenon in the Greek-speaking world of the Roman Empire, this book draws the reader’s attention to under-researched texts and inscriptions.

Download or read book Cosmology and Politics in Plato s Later Works written by Dominic J. O'Meara and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge of the structure of the cosmos, Plato suggests, is important in organizing a human community which aims at happiness. This book investigates this theme in Plato's later works, the Timaeus, Statesman, and Laws. Dominic J. O'Meara proposes fresh readings of these texts, starting from the religious festivals and technical and artistic skills in the context of which Plato elaborates his cosmological and political theories, for example the Greek architect's use of models as applied by Plato in describing the making of the world. O'Meara gives an account of the model of which Plato's world is an image; of the mathematics used in producing the world; and of the relation between the cosmic model and the political science and legislation involved in designing a model state in the Laws. Non-specialist scholars and students will be able to access and profit from the book.
Download or read book The Roman Jewish Wars and Hebrew Cultural Nationalism 66 2000 CE written by D. Aberbach and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-05-26 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this controversial book, the authors show how the Roman-Jewish wars were precipitated partly by Jewish demographic and religious expansion and by conflict with the Greeks and their culture. They argue that the trauma and humiliation of defeat, stimulated Jewish cultural growth, particularly in Hebrew, during and after the wars. This culture was an implicit rejection of Graeco-Roman civilization and values in favour of a more exclusivist religious-cultural nationalism. This form of nationalism, though unique in the ancient world, anticipates more recent cultural-national movements of defeated peoples.
