This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The treatise known as book Lambda of Aristotle’s Metaphysics has become one of the most debated issues of recent scholarship.

Furthermore, the importance of the text is due to the fact that it contains an outline of what was traditionally understood as Aristotle’s theology.
Download or read book Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy Volume 54 written by Victor Caston and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-20 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy is a volume of original articles on all aspects of ancient philosophy. The articles may be of substantial length, and include critical notices of major books. OSAP is now published twice yearly, in both hardback and paperback. "'Have you seen the latest OSAP?' is what scholars of ancient philosophy say to each other when they meet in corridors or on coffee breaks. Whether you work on Plato or Aristotle, on Presocratics or sophists, on Stoics, Epicureans, or Sceptics, on Roman philosophers or Greek Neoplatonists, you are liable to find OSAP articles now dominant in the bibliography of much serious published work in your particular subject: not safe to miss." - Malcolm Schofield, Cambridge University "OSAP was founded to provide a place for long pieces on major issues in ancient philosophy. In the years since, it has fulfilled this role with great success, over and over again publishing groundbreaking papers on what seemed to be familiar topics and others surveying new ground to break. It represents brilliantly the vigour - and the increasingly broad scope - of scholarship in ancient philosophy, and shows us all how the subject should flourish." - M.M. McCabe, King's College London
Download or read book Commentary and Tradition written by Pierluigi Donini and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010-12-23 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume collects the most important papers Pierluigi Donini wrote in the last three decades with the aim of promoting a better assessment of post-hellenistic philosophy. The philosophical relevance of post-hellenistic philosophy is now widely (though not yet universally) recognized. Yet much remains to be done. The common practice of focusing each single school in itself detracts from a balanced assessment of the strategies exploited by many philosophers of the period. On the assumption that debates among schools play a major role in the philosophy of the commentators, Donini concentrates on the interaction between leading Aristotelians and Platonists and demonstrates that the developments of both systems of thought were heavily influenced by a continuous confrontation between the two schools. And whereas in cases such as Alcinous and Aspasius this is basically uncontroversial, for other authors such us Alexander, Antiochus and Plutarch the pioneering work of Donini paves the way for a better understanding of their doctrines and definitely confirms the intellectual importance of the first imperial age, when the foundations were laid of versions of both Aristotelianism and Platonism which were bound to influence the whole history of European thought, from Late Antiquity onwards.
Download or read book Subject Definition Activity written by Tommaso Alpina and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers for the first time a comprehensive study of the reception and reworking of the Peripatetic theory of the soul in the Kitāb al-Nafs (Book of the Soul) by Avicenna (d. 1037). This study seeks to frame Avicenna’s science of the soul (or psychology) by focusing on three key concepts: subject, definition, and activity. The examination of these concepts will disclose the twofold consideration of the soul in Avicenna’s psychology. Besides the ‘general approach’ to the soul of sublunary living beings, which is the formal principle of the body, Avicenna’s psychology also exhibits a ‘specific orientation’ towards the soul in itself, i.e. the human rational soul that, considered in isolation from the body, is a self-subsistent substance, identical with the theoretical intellect and capable of surviving severance from the body. These two investigations demonstrate the coexistence in Avicenna’s psychology of a more specific and less physical science (psychologia specialis) within a more general and overall physical one (psychologia generalis).

This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Čovječanstvo je od prvog razvoja svijesti shvatilo da neke značajne činjenice nisu rezultat slučajnosti. Neobjašnjive činjenice su signali kojima viša razina, filozofska ili božanska, pokušava razgovarati s ljudima. Nažalost, ta su vjerovanja izbrisana od strane materijalističke znanosti tijekom posljednja tri stoljeća. Ali 1980. godine, eksperimenti kvantne fizike pokazali su da postoji još jedan svemir, psihički. U ovoj novoj dimenziji, energija i informacija nemaju prostorna ni vremenska ograničenja. Kvantna fizika potvrđuje mnoge drevne spoznaje. Na primjer, koncept "Duše svijeta" koji je razradio grčki filozof Platon, kao i teorija "kolektivnog nesvjesnog" koju je razradio Carl Gustav Jung. Ova knjiga izbjegava znanstvene formule i tehnikalije i prati čitatelja u razumijevanju mnogih razina koje tvore jedinstvenu stvarnost. Zapravo, osim fizičke razine koju poznajemo, postoje mnoge druge. Na primjer, postoji razina "kvanta", odnosno razina elementarnih čestica, u kojoj se događaju pojave koje materijalistička znanost smatra nemogućima. U carstvu elementarnih čestica nalazimo razinu "ne-lokalnosti", gdje vrijeme i prostor više ne postoje. Na ovom putu znanja čak i ekstrasenzorne manifestacije, poput telepatije i vizije onoga što će se dogoditi u budućnosti, postaju važni dijelovi iznenađujuće stvarnosti.

Download or read book Eudemus of Rhodes written by William Fortenbaugh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eudemus of Rhodes was a pupil of Aristotle in the second half of the fourth century BCE. When Aristotle died, having chosen Theophrastus as his successor, Eudemus returned to Rhodes where it appears he founded his own school. His contributions to logic were significant: he took issue with Aristotle concerning the status of the existential "is," and together with Theophrastus he made important contributions to hypothetical syllogistic and modal logic. He wrote at length on physics, largely following Aristotle, and took an interest in animal behavior. His histories of geometry, arithmetic, and astronomy were of great importance and are responsible for much of what we know of these subjects in earlier times.Volume 11 in the series Rutgers Studies in Classical Humanities is different in that it is composed entirely of articles that discuss Eudemus from a variety of viewpoints. Sixteen scholars representing seven nations have contributed essays to the volume. A special essay by Dimitri Gutas brings together for the first time the Arabic material relating to Eudemus. Other contributors and essays are: Hans B. Gottschalk, "Eudemus and the Peripatos"; Tiziano Dorandi, "Quale aspetto controverso della biografia di Eudemo di Rodi"; William W. Fortenbaugh, "Eudemus' Work On Expression"; Pamela M. Huby, "Did Aristotle Reply to Eudemus and Theophrastus on Some Logical Issues?"; Robert Sharples, "Eudemus Physics: Change, Place and Time"; Han Baltussen, "Wehrli's Edition of Eudemus of Rhodes: The Physical Fragments from Simplicius' Commentary on Aristotle's Physics"; Sylvia Berryman, "Sumphues and Suneches: Continuity and Coherence in Early Peripatetic Texts"; Istvbn Bodnbr, "Eudemus' Unmoved Movers: Fragments 121-123b Wehrli"; Deborah K.

Bowen, "Eudemus' History of Early Greek Astronomy: Two Hypotheses"; Dmitri Panchenko, "Eudemus Fr. 145 Wehrli and the Ancient Theories of Lunar Light"; and Gbbor Betegh, "On Eudemus Fr. 150 Wehrli.""[Eudemus of Rhodes] marks a substantial progress in our knowledge of Eurdemus. For it enlarges the scope of the information available on this author, highlights the need of, and paves the way to, a new critical edition of the Greek fragments of his works, and provides a clearer view of his life, thought, sources and influence. In all these respects, it represents a necessary complement to Wehrli's edition of Eudemus' fragments." -Amos Bertolacci, The Classical BulletinIstvbn Bodnbr is a member of the philosophy department at the Eotvos University in Budapest, where he teaches and does research on ancient philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today the regression clause of iGen comes from a number of elements, including the “lack of cultural capital”, because of a kind of human habit to live suspended between a real and virtual world. The forgetfulness of the real body also produces fallout series on mental health up to cause behavioral cognitive disorders. The identity of the human race is aware of mutual recognition among the living, but only individuals who possess the moral sense are able to share and understand this meaning. The identity is constructed through the recognition of the other (Galimberti U., 2007, p. 33). Europe will see more and more prevailing Metissage, but the integration meets a weak resilience in particular by later generations over the years compared to youngsters still in school age. The @generation is the next new nationality, and should be better monitored. Motricity of @generation is now mainly limited to the use of two inches, committed spasmodically, anywhere texting to the Community which corresponds the homeostatic super organism which is the global network. Investing in school sports for a longer time and more awareness promote the bodily kinesthetic intelligence and assess alterations in favour of better physical, mental and moral sense balance.
Download or read book After Parmenides written by Alexander P. D. Mourelatos and published by Academia Verlag. This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diese Sammlung bereits veröffentlichter Aufsätze – von denen einige erweitert und überarbeitet wurden – bietet eine nachhaltige Analyse der konzeptuellen Verbindungen zwischen der Metaphysik und Erkenntnistheorie des Parmenides und entsprechenden Motiven in den Philosophien anderer Vorsokratiker. Der zentrale Teil des Buches untersucht, wie die frühen Philosophen Griechenlands nach und nach für die Bedeutung von Begriffen wie "Form", "Typ", "Struktur", "Anordnung" sensibilisiert wurden. Diese Entwicklung hat sich vor allem deshalb vollzogen, weil derartige Konzepte, die Pluralität und Differenzierung importieren, für Parmenides von Natur aus problematisch sind. Der zentrale Teil des Buches kann daher als Bericht über die "Entdeckung der Form" in der frühen griechischen Philosophie gelesen werden
