This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Socrate est sans conteste le philosophe qui fait le plus rêver. Paradoxalement, tout a été écrit sur ce personnage hors du commun qui préférait le dynamisme de l’oralité au statisme des lettres. Aussi, cet ouvrage n’a pour d’autre ambition que faire découvrir, redécouvrir, un des « pères fondateurs » du genre philosophique. Il sera question de dialectique, de réfutation, d’ironie, d’inspiration... On parlera aussi des témoins classiques et de leurs thèses contradictoires : Aristophane, Xénophon, Platon et bien d’autres encore. Un fil rouge traverse cette enquête : le rapport de Socrate au religieux. Un des chefs d’accusation qui devait entraîner la condamnation de l’Athénien en 399 fut l’impiété. Qu’en fut-il ? Ne s’agissait-il pas plutôt d’une autre façon de dire le religieux qui aurait été incomprise en son temps ? Socrate aurait-il été « l’inventeur du religieux ? ». Baudouin Decharneux est philosophe et historien des religions. Maître de recherches du FNRS, professeur à l’Université libre de Bruxelles et Membre de l’Académie Royale de Belgique. également Membre associé de l’Académie d’Athènes et profesor honorario de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Il a enseigné en qualité de professeur visiteur dans de nombreuses universités en Europe et Outre-Mer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study argues that to understand Socrates we must uncover and analyze his religious views, since his philosophical and religious views are part of one seamless whole. Mark McPherran provides a close analysis of the relevant Socratic texts, an analysis that yields a comprehensive and original account of Socrates' commitments to religion (e.g., the nature of the gods, the immortality of the soul). McPherran contends that Socrates saw his religious commitments as integral to his philosophical mission of moral examination and, in turn, used the rationally derived convictions underlying that mission to reshape the religious conventions of his time. As a result, Socrates made important contributions to the rational reformation of Greek religion, contributions that incited and informed the theology of his brilliant pupil, Plato.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’un déclare ne rien savoir et invite à mesurer l’abîme séparant la divinité omnisciente et immortelle de l’homme mortel, passant des ténèbres de l’opinion versatile à la lumière du Bien intelligible ; l’autre se dit fils de Dieu et offre une vérité accessible non par la raison mais par la grâce, une sagesse fondée sur l’« amour » (agapê). Pourtant, en dépit de ces postures contraires, tout rapproche Socrate et Jésus : leur vie, leur mort, leur sagesse, leur morale, leur enseignement. Aujourd’hui encore, leur parole vivante, tournée vers l’universel, nous interroge et nous interpelle. Figures emblématiques de notre culture, ils invitent à outrepasser ce qui fomente des remparts – entre soi et soi, soi et l’autre, soi et l’« Un » ou Dieu. Comme l’exprime l’auteure dans la préface, ils tracent leur sillon en dépassant le « particularisme et [le] sectarisme, terreaux de toutes les violences, [...] qui ressurgissent en Europe et dans le monde ». Dans ce livre, Anne Baudart propose un retour au souffle initial via un parcours en miroir. Par cette déambulation parallèle, elle épouse et propage l’élan des deux sages, fait fi des querelles de clocher et réfléchit la spiritualité comme un chemin universaliste, terrain d’entente des hommes. Un message important dans l’univers désenchanté qui est le nôtre.

Book excerpt: DIALOGUE PHILOSOPHIQUE 💬 Apologie de Socrate Dans l'Apologie de Socrate, Platon rapporte les plaidoyers de Socrate lors de son procès en 399 av. J.-C. à Athènes qui déboucha sur sa condamnation à mort. La défense se déroule en trois parties, toutes en lien direct avec la mort. Socrate se défend devant les juges, mais aussi devant toute la cité d'Athènes (composant le Tribunal de la Cité). Il répond aux trois chefs d'accusation déposés contre lui : corruption de la jeunesse, non-reconnaissance de l'existence des dieux traditionnels athéniens, et introduction de nouvelles divinités dans la cité. Dans l'Exorde, qui correspond à l'introduction du premier discours, Socrate prétend tout d'abord que le discours de ses accusateurs, qui sont Mélétos, Anytos et Lycon, était particulièrement convaincant, du fait qu'ils s'étaient préparés et qu'ils ont l'habitude de jouer ce rôle dans un tribunal athénien, mais que le discours ne contient en fait aucune vérité. Puis, il avance que, à l'opposé de ses accusateurs, il ne s'est pas préparé, et n'a jamais comparu dans un tribunal en tant que citoyen, même à son âge très avancé, et que donc il ne sera probablement pas convaincant, bien que ce soit lui qui détienne la vérité et qui la livre honnêtement aux juges (Socrate appelle les juges « Athéniens », car ils n'ont pas encore délivré leur jugement et ne sont donc que des simples citoyens avant cela, mais nous les appellerons juges pour plus de clarté, et pour les distinguer du public). Enfin, il présente son plan global : Socrate va d'abord répondre aux anciennes accusations, puis aux nouvelles. L'apologie est une de ces oeuvres rares qui comble le fossé entre philosophie et littérature. Cette oeuvre de Platon cherche plus à dresser le portrait du philosophe idéal qu'à poser des thèses philosophiques. Platon, à travers l'Apologie, montre que Socrate incarne la philosophie. On peut également y associer trois grands thèmes de la pensée socratique: l'ironie socratique, la maïeutique, et les préoccupations éthiques. Cette présentation du philosophe-type nourrira l'ensemble de l'histoire de la philosophie. L'image du Sage sera celle d'une victime, méprisée et incomprise de ses contemporains, condamné par l'ignorance de son public. On voit clairement la résonance de cette thématique avec l'Allégorie de la Caverne, dans laquelle le philosophe, porteur de la vérité, reste incompris des hommes enchaînés et vivant dans l'ignorance. 📣 A propos de l'auteur : Platon (424-347 av. J.-C.) est un philosophe grec d'Athènes. Disciple de Socrate, il rédige une série de dialogues mettant en scène celui-ci. On trouve dans les dialogues tardifs tels que la République la célèbre doctrine platonicienne des Idées, qui distingue deux réalités, le monde sensible, celui que nous voyons et le monde intelligible, ou monde des Idées. Il fut vendu comme esclave par le tyran Denys de Syracuse, puis libéré. Il fonda une école, l'Académie, et Aristote fut son disciple.

Download or read book Divine Names on the Spot written by Fabio Porzia and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Ancient Greek and Semitic languages resorted to a large range of words to name the divine. Gods and goddesses were called by a variety of names and combinations of onomastic attributes. This broad lexicon of names is characterised by plurality and a tendency to build on different sequences of names; therefore, the Mapping Ancient Polytheisms project focuses on the process of naming the divine in order to better understand the ancient divine in terms of a plurality in the making. A fundamental rule for reading ancient divine names is to grasp them in their context - time and place, a ritual, the form of the discourse, a cultural milieu...: a deity is usually named according to a specific situation. From Artemis Eulochia to al-Lat, al-'Uzza and Manat, from Melqart to "my rock" in the biblical book of Psalms, this volume journeys between the sanctuary on Mount Gerizim and late antique magical practices, revisiting rituals, hymnic poetry, oaths of orators and philosophical prayers. While targeting different names in different contexts, the contributors draft theoretical propositions towards a dynamic approach of naming the divine in antiquity.'

Download or read book Manuscripts and Archives written by Alessandro Bausi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archives are considered to be collections of administrative, legal, commercial and other records or the actual place where they are located. They have become ubiquitous in the modern world, but emerged not much later than the invention of writing. Following Foucault, who first used the word archive in a metaphorical sense as "the general system of the formation and transformation of statements" in his "Archaeology of Knowledge" (1969), postmodern theorists have tried to exploit the potential of this concept and initiated the "archival turn". In recent years, however, archives have attracted the attention of anthropologists and historians of different denominations regarding them as historical objects and "grounding" them again in real institutions. The papers in this volume explore the complex topic of the archive in a historical, systematic and comparative context and view it in the broader context of manuscript cultures by addressing questions like how, by whom and for which purpose were archival records produced, and if they differ from literary manuscripts regarding materials, formats, and producers (scribes).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is a continuation of two earlier series of chroni cles, Philosophy of the Mid-Century (Firenze 1958/59) and Con temporary Philosophy (Firenze 1968), edited by Raymond Klibansky. Like the other series, these chronicles provide a survey of significant trends in contemporary philosophical discussion from 1970 to 1985. The need for such surveys has, I believe, increased rather than decreased over the last years. The philosophical scene appears, for various reasons, more complex than ever before. The continuing process of specialization in most branches, the emergence of new schools of thought, the convergence of interest (thought not neces sarily of opinion) of different traditions upon certain problems, the increasing attention being paid to the history of philosophy in discussions of contemporary problems, and the growing signifi cance for philosophical discourse of the social, political and cul tural situation in various regions of the world are the most impor tant contributory factors. Surveys of the present kind are a valu able source of knowledge of this complexity and may as such be an assistance in renewing the understanding of one's own philo sophical problems. The surveys, it is to be hoped, may also help to strengthen a world-wide Socratic element of modern philosophy, the dialogue or Kommunikationsgemeinschaft. So far, five volumes have been prepared for the new series.
