Download or read book Allusion Authority and Truth written by Phillip Mitsis and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions about how ancient Greek texts establish their authority, reflect on each other, and project their own truths have become central for a wide range of recent critical discourses. In this volume, an influential group of international scholars examines these themes in a variety of poetic and rhetorical genres. The result is a series of striking and original readings from different critical perspectives that display the centrality of these questions for understanding the poetic and rhetorical aims of ancient Greek texts. Characterized by a combination of close attention to philological detail and theoretical sophistication, the essays in this volume make a compelling case for this kind of focused, critically informed dialogue about the nature of ancient textual praxis. Students of classical literature will find a wealth of critical insights and challenging new readings of many familiar texts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Socrates would often visit the marketplace in Athens, where he would talk with his friends and clients. He would ask them questions about their lives, and they would usually respond that they knew themselves very well. #2 Socrates was the first to apply critical thinking to the challenges of human life and society. He urged people to start by examining their interests, values, and capabilities. He did not rely on revelation or conventional wisdom, but on reason and dialogue. #3 Socrates’ first lesson for us is that we can do what he did, and we must do that if we want to master our minds to the utmost. To achieve self-mastery and insight requires a lifelong regimen of asking questions, thinking things through, and caring for your soul. #4 Socrates urges Euthydemus to critically examine the conventional wisdom of his culture. He also encourages him to identify and fully benefit from the mentors he has already had in his life.

These two human beings, brought together by the most unlikely of circumstances, are forced to survive rapidly escalating troubles. They find themselves wanted by local authorities and pursued by Cuban and East German mercenaries. They escape through the cities, lakes, and mountains of San Andres on their way to a remote hideout.

Download or read book Athens after the Peloponnesian War Routledge Revivals written by Barry Strauss and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians are used to studying the origins of war. The rebuilding in the aftermath of war is a subject that – at least in the case of Athens – has received far less attention. Along with the problems of reconstructing the economy and replenishing the population, the problem of renegotiating political consensus was equally acute. Athens after the Peloponnesian War, first published in 1986, undertakes a radically new investigation into the nature of Athenian political groups. The general model of ‘faction’ provided by political anthropology provides an indispensable paradigm for the Athenian case. More widely, Professor Strauss argues for the importance of the economic, social and ideological changes resulting from the Peloponnesian War in the development of political nexus. Athens after the Peloponnesian War offers a detailed demographic analysis, astute insight into political discourse, and is altogether one of the most thorough treatments of this important period in the Athenian democracy.

Download or read book Before And After Socrates written by Prof. F. M. Cornford and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-28 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Socrates was one of that small number of adventurers who, from time to time, have enlarged the horizon of the human spirit.’ In this book, F. M. Cornford explains why the life and work of Socrates stand out as marking a turning-point in the history of thought. He shows how Socrates revolutionized the concept of philosophy, converting it from the study of Nature to the study of the human soul, the meaning of right and wrong, and the ends for which we ought to live. This is, in fact, the story of the whole creative period of Greek philosophy—the Ionian science of Nature before Socrates, Socrates himself, and his chief followers, Plato and his pupil Aristotle. It tells of the different contributions each made, and shows how within three centuries the Greek tradition grew to maturity and the fullness of intellectual power. ‘Refreshing and stimulating...it is not only a masterly piece of condensation, nor only a delightful introduction to further reading; it is more, and it claims the attention of every serious student of the subject.’—Journal of Hellenic Studies ‘It can be confidently recommended to those who wish for a competent statement in a short compass of what the Greek philosophers believed and why.’—C. E. M. JOAD in New Statesman ‘Provides a clear insight into the development of Greek philosophy and a brilliant commentary on the Greek mind and its attitude to life. The first chapter forms one of the most attractive introductions to philosophy that it is possible to find.’—The Times Literary Supplement

Download or read book Wittgenstein and Davidson on Language Thought and Action written by Claudine Verheggen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wittgenstein and Davidson are two of the most influential and controversial figures of twentieth-century philosophy. However, whereas Wittgenstein is often regarded as a deflationary philosopher, Davidson is considered to be a theory builder and systematic philosopher par excellence. Consequently, little work has been devoted to comparing their philosophies with each other. In this volume of new essays, leading scholars show that in fact there is much that the two share. By focusing on the similarities between Wittgenstein and Davidson, the essays present compelling defences of their views and develop more coherent and convincing approaches than either philosopher was able to propose on his own. They show how philosophically fruitful and constructive reflection on Wittgenstein and Davidson continues to be, and how relevant the writings of both philosophers are to current debates in philosophy of mind, language, and action.
