Описание: Reveals monstrosity to be a central conceptual challenge in every ancient Greek and Roman philosophical system
Reconstructs the concept of monstrosity in classic thought from its earliest beginnings, through pre-Platonic and Attic philosophy to the Hellenistic systems and finally arriving at Neapolitanism
Covers all the major figures: from Hesiod to Augustine, through Democritus, Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus and Lucretius
Addresses questions of time, causality, necessity, finality, order, justice and anomaly
Shows the diverse aspects of reflections on monstrosity and the problems related to its interpretation
Amazons and giants, snakes and gorgons, centaurs and gryphons: monsters abounded in ancient culture. They raise enduring philosophical questions: about chaos and order; about divinity and perversion; about meaning and purpose; about the hierarchy of nature or its absence. Del Lucchese grapples with the concept of monstrosity, showing how ancient philosophers explored metaphysics, ontology, theology and politics to respond to the challenge of radical otherness in nature and in thought.
Each chapter explores the emergence of monstrosity in a set of authors and theories. In chapter 1, monsters rise as the challenging adversaries of the new gods of the early cosmogonies. But they can also be powerful productive forces that support building the new order or ambiguous characters that catalyse the unfolding of the tragic universe. In chapter 2, the Pre-Platonic systems of Anaxagoras, Empedocle and Democritus pave the way for the recognition of the philosophical status of monstrosity.
This status becomes central in Attic philosophy, first with Plato's mythological monstrosities and then with the construction of a hierarchical structure of the universe - taken up in chapter 3. Chapter 4 focuses on Aristotle's study of physical monstrosity and its role within his metaphysical and aetiological framework.
Chapters 5-7 deal with the extraordinarily elaborate responses to Attic philosophy by the major Hellenistic systems: Epicureanism, Stoicism and Scepticism. The final chapter looks at the Middle and Neoplatonist response to Hellenism and explores the richness of late-antiquity's reflection on monstrosity up to its absorption and reworking by early Christian thought.

Описание: Cet ouvrage se propose d’explorer de facon critique le concept de culture, au sens anthropologique, au travers de ses differents impacts dans la vie sociale et politique. En partant de la definition de l’etre humain et de la separation entre nature et culture, Albin Wagener evoque de facon progressive les problemes sociaux, ethniques et politiques poses par un concept de culture qui ne fait que dissimuler des enjeux de pouvoir et representer une version plus politiquement correcte de la notion de race. Au fur et a mesure de cette exploration critique, qui s’appuie sur des travaux varies, l’auteur propose d’abandonner purement et simplement le concept de culture et d’envisager une theorie permettant de remplacer le vide ainsi laisse, grace a une theorie des systemes d’existence, capable d’embrasser la complexite de la vie quotidienne tout en evitant les ecueils de discrimination.
