Magie de la comparaison

Et autres études d’histoire des religions

Jonathan Smith, Genève: Labor et Fides, 2014

Description

Jonathan Z. Smith est l’un des plus remarquables historiens des religions de l’ère contemporaine. En pratiquant un comparatisme inattendu entre des religions très différentes dans le temps et l’espace, cet Américain légèrement excentrique a suscité de nouvelles manières de comprendre les mythes et les rites. Pour ce savant tout à la fois hypermoderne et technophobe, la religion est un mot et rien d’autre. Il sert à décrire des relations que des hommes entretiennent avec des acteurs surhumains dont la culture postule l’existence. Dans ce sens, il n’existe pas de religion pure et originelle mais des sociétés qui reprennent à leurs comptes des représentations de mythes qui elles-mêmes en relisent de plus anciennes. Avec cet ouvrage qui reprend sept articles majeurs écrits entre 1974 et 2004, le public français a enfin accès direct à Jonathan Z. Smith sur des points décisifs de sa pensée. Un entretien biographique avec les traducteurs les ponctue, dans lequel Jonathan Z. Smith évoque notamment le passé et l’avenir de sa discipline. La recherche, à ses yeux, doit davantage se déployer dans le voisinage immédiat de l’historien des religions qui y trouvera des institutions et des mythes à décrypter aussi intéressants que ceux qu’il peut partir analyser au bout du monde.

Divination and Theurgy in Neoplatonism

Oracles of the Gods

Crystal Addey, London: Routledge, 2014

Description

Why did ancient philosophers consult oracles, write about them, and consider them to be an important part of philosophical thought and practice? This book explores the extensive links between oracles and philosophy in Late Antiquity, particularly focusing on the roles of oracles and other forms of divination in third and fourth century CE Neoplatonism. Examining some of the most significant debates between pagan philosophers and Christian intellectuals on the nature of oracles as a central yet contested element of religious tradition, Addey focuses particularly on Porphyry’s Philosophy from Oracles and Iamblichus’ De Mysteriis — two works which deal extensively with oracles and other forms of divination. This book argues for the significance of divination within Neoplatonism and offers a substantial reassessment of oracles and philosophical works and their relationship to one another. With a broad interdisciplinary approach, encompassing Classics, Ancient Philosophy, Theology, Religious Studies and Ancient History, Addey draws on recent anthropological and religious studies research which has challenged and re-evaluated the relationship between rationality and ritual.

Metaphysics, Soul, and Ethics in Ancient Thought

Themes from the Work of Richard Sorabji

Ricardo Salles, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005

Description

Leading figures in ancient philosophy present eighteen original papers on three key themes in the work of Richard Sorabji. The papers dealing with Metaphysics range from Democritus to Numenius on basic questions about the structure and nature of reality: necessitation, properties, and time. The section on Soul includes one paper on the individuation of souls in Plato and five papers on Aristotle’s and Aristotelian theories of cognition, with a special emphasis on perception. The section devoted to Ethics concentrates upon Stoicism and the complex views the Stoics held on such topics as motivation, akrasia, oikeiôsis, and the emotions. The volume contains a fascinating « intellectual autobiography » by Sorabji himself, and a full Bibliography of his works.

Manuel de critique textuelle du Nouveau Testament Introduction générale

Anne Boud’hors, Dominique Gonnet, Didier Lafleur, Christian-Bernard Amphoux, Éditions Safran, 2014

Description

La critique textuelle est l’étude des documents à partir desquels on établit le texte d’une oeuvre transmise par des manuscrits. Le Nouveau Testament nous est parvenu à travers de nombreux manuscrits entre lesquels il existe d’innombrables variantes. Certaines, les plus nombreuses, sont de simples fautes de copie ; mais des milliers d’autres sont les indices de l’évolution du texte des évangiles et des autres écrits du recueil. Le texte du Nouveau Testament a donc une histoire et, par cette histoire, une diversité dans sa transmission. Le premier volume de ce manuel propose une introduction générale qui rassemble les informations principales concernant le matériau dont nous disposons (manuscrits grecs, versions anciennes et citations patristiques), la méthode de traitement de ce matériau et ce que nous savons de l’histoire du texte du Nouveau Testament, d’abord manuscrit, puis imprimé à partir du XVIe siècle.

Neoplatonic Questions 

Jose M. Zamora Calvo, Berlin: Logos Verlag, 2014

Description

The nine essays in this volume were presented at the Eighth Annual Conference of the International Society for Neoplatonic Studies (ISNS). ISNS Conferences, annually held, bring together scholars from all over the world interested in Plato’s philosophy and its tradition. This time, the selected articles deal with the interpretations of Plato by authors like Plotinus, Porphyry, Proclus, and Damascius, as well as with the romantic English poetry reception of this hermeneutic tradition. They include perspectives as wide as philosophic, historical, or literary, and in different contexts, like pagan, Christian, Jewish, etc. All of them aim to give a new appreciation of Neoplatonic Philosophy and a better understanding of what Platonism and Neoplatonism may be.
