Simplicius: On Aristotle Physics 1.5-9
ISBN: 9780715638576 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Simplicius' greatest contribution in his commentary on Aristotle on Physics 1.5-9 lies in his treatment of matter. This is its first translation into English. The sixth-century philosopher starts with a valuable elucidation of what Aristotle means by 'principle' and 'element' in Physics. Simplicius' own conception of matter is of a quantity that is utterly diffuse because of its extreme distance from its source, the Neoplatonic One, and he tries to find this conception both in Plato's account of space and in a stray remark of Aristotle's. Finally, Simplicius rejects the... Simplicius' greatest contribution in his commentary on Aristotle on Physics 1.5-9 lies in his treatment of matter. This is its first transla... |

The Peripatetics: Aristotle's Heirs 322 Bce - 200 Ce
ISBN: 9781844655755 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Peripatetics explores the development of Peripatetic thought from Theophrastus and Strato to the work of the commentator Alexander of Aphrodisias. The book examines whether the internal dynamics of this philosophical school allowed for a unity of Peripatetic thought, or whether there was a fundamental tension between philosophical creativity and the notions of core teachings and canonisation. The book discusses the major philosophical preoccupations of the Peripatetics, interactions with Hellenistic schools of thought, and the shift in focus among Greek philosophers in a changing...

Greek and Roman Consolations: Eight Studies of a Tradition and Its Afterlife
ISBN: 9781905125562 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the Ancient World death came - on average - at a far earlier age than in today's West, and without the authoritative warnings given by modern medicine. Consolation for the trauma of loss had, accordingly, a more prominent role to play. This volume presents eight original studies on consolatory writings from ancient Greek, Roman, early Christian and Arabic societies. The authors include internationally recognised authorities in the field. They offer insight into the ancient experience of loss and the methods used to palliate it. They explore how far there was a consolatory 'genre',...

Philosophy and Exegesis in Simplicius: The Methodology of a Commentator
ISBN: 9780715635001 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is the first book-length study in English of the interpretative and philosophical approach of the commentaries of Simplicius of Cilicia (c. AD 530). Simplicius' work, marked by doctrinal complexity and scholarship, is unusually self-conscious, learned and rich in its sources, and he is therefore one of those rare authors who is of interest to ancient philosophers, historians and classicists alike. Here, Han Baltussen argues that our understanding of Simplicius' methodology will be greatly enhanced if we study how his scholarly approach impacts on his philosophical exegesis. His...

The Art of Veiled Speech: Self-Censorship from Aristophanes to Hobbes
ISBN: 9780812247350 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Throughout Western history, there have been those who felt compelled to share a dissenting opinion on public matters, while still hoping to avoid the social, political, and even criminal consequences for exercising free speech. In this collection of fourteen original essays, editors Han Baltussen and Peter J. Davis trace the roots of censorship far beyond its supposed origins in early modern history. Beginning with the ancient Greek concept of parrhesia, and its Roman equivalent libertas, the contributors to The Art of Veiled Speech examine lesser-known texts...
