  • Plato's Cratylus
    Cambridge University Press 0521584922 - Plato’s Cratylus David Sedley Frontmatter More information PLATO’S CRATYLUS Plato’s Cratylus is a brilliant but enigmatic dialogue. It bears on a topic, the relation of language to knowledge, which has never ceased to be of central philosophical importance, but tackles it in ways which at times look alien to us. In this radical reappraisal of the dialogue, Professor Sedleyargues that the etymologieswhich take up well over half of it are not an embarrassing lapse or semi-private joke on Plato’s part. On the contrary,if taken seriouslyas theyshould be, theyare the keyto understanding both the dialogue itself and Plato’s linguistic philosophymore broadly.The book’s main argument is so formulated as to be intelligible to readers with no knowledge of Greek, and will have a significant impact both on the studyof Plato and on the history of linguistic thought. david sedley is Laurence Professor of Ancient Philosophyat the Universityof Cambridge. His work has ranged over most periods and subject areas of Greek and Roman philosophy, including a number of editions of philosophical texts preserved on papyrus. He has been a visiting professor at Princeton, Berkeley, Yale and Cornell, and in2004 will be the Sather Professor at Berkeley. He is the author of Lucretius and the Transformation of Greek Wisdom (Cambridge 1998) and (with A. A. Long) The Hellenistic Philosophers (Cambridge 1987), as well as editor of The Cambridge Companion to Greek and Roman Philosophy (Cambridge 2003). He has been editor of Classical Quarterly (1986–92) and, since 1998,ofOxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-11355-7 - Ancient Models of Mind: Studies in Human and Divine Rationality Edited by Andrea Nightingale and David Sedley Frontmatter More information ANCIENT MODELS OF MIND How does god think? How, ideally, does a human mind function? Must a gap remain between these two paradigms of rationality? Such questions exercised the greatest ancient philosophers, including those featured in this book: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics and Ploti- nus. This volume encompasses a series of studies by leading scholars, revisiting key moments of ancient philosophy and highlighting the theme of human and divine rationality in both moral and cognitive psychology. It is a tribute to Professor A. A. Long, and reflects multiple themes of his own work. andrea nightingale is Professor of Classics and Comparative Literature at Stanford University. She is the author of Genres in Dia- logue: Plato and the Construct of Philosophy (1995), Spectacles of Truth in Classical Greek Philosophy: Theoria in its Cultural Context (2004), and “Once out of Nature”: Augustine on Time and the Body (forthcom- ing).

  • One Long Argument Revisiting Ancient Greek Debates About the Natural World Should Broaden Biologists’ Horizons
    Vol 452|13 March 2008 BOOKS & ARTS One long argument Revisiting ancient Greek debates about the natural world should broaden biologists’ horizons. Creationism and its Critics in Antiquity by David Sedley University of California Press: 2008. 296 pp. £17.95 Armand M. Leroi Evolutionary biologists are — as modern scientists go — a historically minded lot. All ARCHIVE ART ORTI/THE A. DAGLI of us acknowledge the greatness of Charles Darwin and some have even read On the Origin of Species. A few speak of Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, Lamarck or Goethe. Yet our historical horizon is actually very near. The pre-1859 theoretical landscape is shrouded in a Judeo-Christian gloom that reaches without interruption to the dawn of recorded time, where it dissolves into the Stygian dark- ness of pagan creation myth. David Sedley’s book will change that view. He argues that, for the philosophers of ancient Greece, the central cosmological question was this: is the world, and all that it contains, the handiwork of an intelligent designer? Between 500 and 300 bc, about a dozen major thinkers essayed answers that are bewildering in their variety and ingenu- In Plato (left) one hears a poet; in Aristotle (right), a colleague — albeit one with some cranky views. ity.

A team of leading specialists surveys the developments of the period and evaluates a com- prehensive series of major thinkers, ranging from Pythagoras to Epicurus. There are also separate chapters on how philos- ophy in the ancient world interacted with religion, literature and science, and a final chapter traces the seminal influence of Greek and Roman philosophy down to the seventeenth century. Practical elements such as tables, illustrations, a glossary, and extensive advice on further reading make it an ideal book to accompany survey courses on the history of ancient philosophy. It will be an invaluable guide for all who are interested in the philosophical thought of this rich and formative period. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521772850 - The Cambridge Companion to Greek and Roman Philosophy Edited by David Sedley Frontmatter More information other volumes in the series of cambridge companions AQUINAS Edited by norman kretzmann and eleonore stump HANNAH ARENDT Edited by dana villa ARISTOTLE Edited by jonathan barnes AUGUSTINE Edited by eleonore stump and norman kretzmann BACON Edited by markku peltonen SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR Edited by claudia card DARWIN Edited by jonathan hodge and gregory radick DESCARTES Edited by john cottingham DUNS SCOTUS Edited by thomas williams EARLY GREEK PHILOSOPHY Edited by a.
