Описание: In Philo of Alexandria and Greek Myth: Narratives, Allegories, and Arguments , a fresh and more complete image of Philo of Alexandria as a careful reader, interpreter, and critic of Greek literature is offered. Greek mythology plays a significant role in Philo of Alexandria’s exegetical oeuvre. Philo explicitly adopts or subtly evokes narratives, episodes and figures from Greek mythology as symbols whose didactic function we need to unravel, exactly as the hidden teaching of Moses’ narration has to be revealed by interpreters of Bible. By analyzing specific mythologems and narrative cycles, the contributions to this volume pave the way to a better understanding of Philo’s different attitudes towards literary and philosophical mythology.

Описание: Ennead VI.8 gives us access to the living mind of a long dead sage as he tries to answer some of the most fundamental questions we in the modern world continue to ask: are we really free when most of the time we are overwhelmed by compulsions, addictions, and necessities, and how can we know that we are free? Can we trace this freedom through our own agency to the gods, to the Soul, Intellect, and the Good? How do we know that the world is meaningful and not simply the result of chance or randomness?Plotinus' On the Voluntary and on the Free Will of the One is a groundbreaking work that provides a new understanding of the importance and nature of free human agency. It articulates a creative idea of agency and radical freedom by showing how such terms as desire, will, self-dependence, and freedom in the human ethical sphere can be genuinely applied to Intellect and the One while preserving the radical inability of all metaphysical language to express anything about God or gods.

Описание: In A Comparative Analysis of Cicero and Aquinas, Charles P. Nemeth investigates how, despite their differences, these two figures may be the most compatible brothers in ideas ever conceived in the theory of natural law. Looking to find common threads that run between the philosophies of these two great thinkers of the Classical and Medieval periods, this book aims to determine whether or not there exists a common ground whereby ethical debates and dilemmas can be evaluated. Does comparison between Cicero and Aquinas offer a new pathway for moral measure, based on defined and developed principles? Do they deliver certain moral and ethical principles for human life to which each agree? Instead of a polemical diatribe, comparison between Cicero and Aquinas may edify a method of compromise and afford a more or less restrictive series of judgements about ethical quandaries.

Описание: A provocative account of the philosophical problem of ‘difference’ in art history, Tintoretto’s Difference offers a new reading of this pioneering 16th century painter, drawing upon the work of the 20th century philosopher Gilles Deleuze. Bringing together philosophical, art historical, art theoretical and art historiographical analysis, it is the first book-length study in English of Tintoretto for nearly two decades and the first in-depth exploration of the implications of Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy for the understanding of early modern art and for the discipline of art history. With a focus on Deleuze’s important concept of the diagram, Tintoretto’s Difference positions the artist’s work within a critical study of both art history’s methods, concepts and modes of thought, and some of the fundamental dimensions of its scholarly practice: context, tradition, influence, and fact. Indicating potentials of the diagrammatic for art historical thinking across the registers of semiotics, aesthetics, and time, Tintoretto’s Difference offers at once an innovative study of this seminal artist, an elaboration of Deleuze’s philosophy of the diagram, and a new avenue for a philosophical art history.

Описание: Anti-hedonism is the core of Plato`s critical project in ethics and politics, including in his seemingly hedonist work, the Protagoras. In this book, J. Clerk Shaw reconciles the Protagoras with Plato`s other dialogues, arguing that the Protagoras as a whole actually reflects Plato`s anti-hedonism.

Описание: Ce livre est le fruit d'un projet ambitieux visant replacer l' mergence du portrait europ en dans le contexte large d'une volution o parmi d'autres facteurs les rites fun raires et les masques mortuaires jouent un r le d terminant. L'arch ologie de la ressemblance est ainsi la formule que l'auteur propose pour renouveler notre connaissance des d buts du portrait au XIIIe si cle, c'est- -dire bien avant l'apog e du portrait individuel la Renaissance. Par une transgression audacieuse des fronti res du champ disciplinaire, l'enqu te jette un clairage inattendu sur l'environnement culturel qui favorisa l'apparition de ce genre visuel si caract ristique du continent europ en. Le recours la m thode tymologique enrichit tout particuli rement l'investigation en clairant d'un jour nouveau les causes profondes de cette repr sentation figur e. Sur un sujet o tout d j semblait avoir t dit, un arri re-plan aux multiples facettes se trouve ici mis au jour, qui d'une mani re exemplaire r v le la complexit des facteurs intervenant dans l'histoire de la repr sentation figur e.
