Neoplatonism in Late Antiquity

Publié le par Luciana Santoprete et Giulia Miraglia

Neoplatonism in Late Antiquity

Dmitri Nikulin, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2019

Description

This book is a philosophical study of two major thinkers who span the period of late antiquity. While Plotinus stands at the beginning of its philosophical tradition, setting the themes for debate and establishing strategies of argument and interpretation, Proclus falls closer to its end, developing a grand synthesis of late ancient thought. The book discusses many central topics of philosophy and science in Plotinus and Proclus, such as the one and the many; number and being; the individuation and constitution of the soul, imagination, and cognition; the constitution of number and geometrical objects; indivisibility and continuity; intelligible and bodily matter; and evil. It shows that late ancient philosophy did not simply embrace and borrow from the major philosophical traditions of earlier antiquity—Platonism, Aristotelianism, Stoicism—by providing marginal comments on widely known philosophical texts. Rather, Neoplatonism offered a set of highly original and innovative insights into the nature of being and thought, which can be distinguished in much subsequent philosophical thought up until modernity.

Music and philosophy in the roman empire

New Ancient Philosophy Volumes from Turin

Music and Philosophy in the Roman Empire

Description and organization

Is music just matter of hearing and producing notes? And is it of interest just to musicians? By exploring different authors and philosophical trends of the Roman Empire, from Philo of Alexandria to Alexander of Aphrodisias, from the rebirth of Platonism with Plutarch to the last Neoplatonists, this book sheds light on different ways in which music and musical notions were made a crucial part of philosophical discourse. Far from being mere metaphors, notions such as harmony, concord and attunement became key philosophical tools in order to better grasp and conceptualise fundamental notions in philosophical debates from cosmology to ethics and from epistemology to theology. The volume is written by a distinguished international team of contributors.

An application in time of pandemic of the ancient Stoics’ social oikeiōsis (affiliation) to other humans

An application in time of pandemic of the ancient

Stoics’ social oikeiōsis (affiliation) to other humans

Description et organisation

According to the ancient Stoics, an individual feels affiliation towards his or her own body, and then for other humans in concentric circles of more or less proximity. Care for offspring is natural, equally among animals. Care for those further out calls for our effort, but the Stoics prescribe it. The Stoics encourage each of us to pull the circles of others closer towards ourselves at the centre and provides techniques for doing so. Oikeiōsis will also help social legislators. During a pandemic there is more need than usual for affiliation. Others may, for example, need food, services, or teaching delivered at home.

Philosophie, l’art de vivre

Publié le par Luciana Santoprete et Giulia Miraglia

Philosophie, l’art de vivre

Jean-François Buisson (dir.), Bière : Éditions Cebédita, 2021

Description

S’il est une discipline qui peut nous aider à vivre dans un monde désormais volatile, incertain, complexe et ambigu, mais aussi à construire l’avenir sur des bases plus sûres et plus stables, c’est bien la philosophie.
Mais une philosophie qui aura retrouvé sa vocation première, celle d’être de nouveau un «mode de vie» étroitement lié à la réflexion philosophique, une façon plus sage d’être au monde, plus en lien avec les valeurs éthiques et spirituelles fondamentales, plus juste et respectueuse de l’environnement, plus favorable à l’épanouissement de l’individu et de la civilisation. Ce livre est une contribution au renouveau de la philosophie comme art de vivre, mouvement lancé plus particulièrement par Pierre Hadot. Nous avons réuni ici plusieurs auteurs, dont nous savons l’importance qu’ils accordent à une certaine manière de vivre dans leur propre existence, afin qu’ils partagent avec nous la richesse de leurs idées et de leurs expériences.

Font partie du collectif d’auteurs de cet ouvrage:
– Laurence Bouchet, philosophe praticienne.
– Michel Maxime Egger, sociologue, écothéologien.
– Fernando Figares et Laura Winckler, spécialistes en philosophies comparées.
– Maël Goarzin, doctorant en philosophie antique.
– Jacqueline Kelen, écrivaine.
– Xavier Pavie, philosophe, écrivain.
– Fernand Schwarz, anthropologue, philosophe et écrivain.
– Bertrand Vergely, essayiste, agrégé de philosophie.

The presence of Plotinus: the self, contemplation, and spiritual exercise in the Enneads

Adam Mickiewicz University

The presence of Plotinus

The self, contemplation, and spiritual exercise in the Enneads

Description and organization

In the center of “The School of Athens”, a famous fresco by Raphael, we can see Plato and Aristotle, the two philosophers who may have been indeed the greatest thinkers of antiquity. However, the scholarly endeavor of the last century has demonstrated with increasing consistency that Plotinus – although his name and legacy is not so popular – could well stand next to them, especially so, because he attempted to synthetize the views of those great masters of the past. His presence in the Western philosophy was, perhaps, a more silent one, but also very influential. Since Late Antiquity, Christian, Jewish and Muslim philosophers were inspired by him as well as Renaissance Platonists and German Idealists. In year 2020, 1750 years had passed by since Plotinus died in a Campanian villa during what seemed to be the last wave of an ancient pandemic, usually called the “Cyprian plague”. Or, as he saw it, since his final ascent from “the divine in us to the divine in the All”. The conference was planned for the year 2020 to celebrate Plotinus’ presence in the Western tradition, but had to be postponed for obvious reasons.

One of the topics which has recently attracted a lot of scholarly attention is Plotinus’ view of the self. It seems original, interesting and refreshing in the midst of our “culture of narcissism”, where we tend to be preoccupied more than ever by concepts such as the self, self-realization, identity, and individualism. What we would like to discuss, however, is not only Plotinus’ philosophical view of the self, but the connections between his concept of the self and the practical dimension of his philosophy, famously described by Pierre Hadot as “spiritual exercise” and “the way of life”. During the three days of our online meeting, we will explore the connections between Plotinus’ view of the self, its contemplative knowledge of the divine realities, which is the goal of philosophical life, and the practical methods of arriving at this knowledge and at the transformation of the self.

Christian Platonism. A History

Publié le par Luciana Soares

Christian Platonism

A History

Alexander J. B. Hampton & John Peter Kenney (eds.), Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2020

Description

Platonism has played a central role in Christianity and is essential to a deep understanding of the Christian theological tradition. At times, Platonism has constituted an essential philosophical and theological resource, furnishing Christianity with an intellectual framework that has played a key role in its early development, and in subsequent periods of renewal. Alternatively, it has been considered a compromising influence, conflicting with the faith’s revelatory foundations and distorting its inherent message. In both cases the fundamental importance of Platonism, as a force which Christianity defined itself by and against, is clear. Written by an international team of scholars, this landmark volume examines the history of Christian Platonism from antiquity to the present day, covers key concepts, and engages issues such as the environment, natural science and materialism.
