  • Iconoclasm: a Christian Dilemma
    ICONOCLASM: A CHRISTIAN DILEMMA - A BYZANTINE CONTROVERSY By STEPHEN CHARLES STEACY •• Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1969 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS December, 1978 ICONOCLASM: A CHRISTIAN DILEMMA - A BYZANTINE CONTROVERSY Thesis Approved: '. ~- Dean of the Graduate College 1019541 ii P~F~E This thesis is concerned with Iconoclasm, the religious upheaval which troubled the Byzantine conscience for over a century. There have been numerous theories adduced by his­ torians to account for this phenomenon. It is the purpose of this study to view the varying interpretations, analyze their shortcomings, and to put forth a different view of the controversy, one that more adequately expresses the deeply rooted religious nature of the movement, a movement not only of the eighth and ninth centuries but an idea which was nurtured in fertile soil of the Old Testament and Apostolic Christianity. The author wishes to express heartfelt appreciation to his thesis adviser, Dr. George Jewsbury, whose unflagging solicitude, support, and inspiration were instrumental in the preparation of this work. A note of thanks is given to Mrs. Karen Hoyer, whose typing expertise, in the final analysis, made the difference between success and failure. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

Epicurus on Socrates in love, according to Maximus of Tyre Não há nada a aprender com Sócrates? Epicuro e os amores de Sócrates, segundo Máximo de Tiro F. JAVIER CAMPOS DAROCA (University of Almería — Spain) 1 Abstract: In the 32nd Oration “On Pleasure”, by Maximus of Tyre, a defence of hedonism is presented in which Epicurus himself comes out in person to speak in favour of pleasure. In this defence, Socrates’ love affairs are recalled as an instance of virtuous behaviour allied with pleasure. In this paper we will explore this rather strange Epicurean portrayal of Socrates as a positive example. We contend that in order to understand this depiction of Socrates as a virtuous lover, some previous trends in Platonism should be taken into account, chiefly those which kept the relationship with the Hellenistic Academia alive. Special mention is made of Favorinus of Arelate, not as the source of the contents in the oration, but as the author closest to Maximus both for his interest in Socrates and his rhetorical (as well as dialectical) ways in philosophy.

  • La Prière Dans La Tradition Platonicienne
    446 Recensiones La prière dans la tradition platonicienne TIMOTIN, ANDREI (2017). La prière dans la tradition platonicienne, de Platon à Proclus. RRR 22. Turnhout: Brepols. 296 pp., 80,00€ [ISBN 978-2-5035- 5748-20]. GARY M. GURTLER, S. J. Boston College [email protected] This book provides a marvellous retrieval of Greek philosophical reflection on the nature of prayer in the wider context of Greek culture and its evolving un- derstanding of the relation of the human and the divine. It thus joins a remarkable project overcoming the scholarly assumptions of the last two centuries. This project is international and multilingual, as Andrei Timotin (AT) makes clear in his notes and bibliography here and his collaboration with John Dillon in Platonic Theories of Prayer (2016). The bibliography, spanning 20 pages, has references in English, French, German, and Italian. Where the religious dimension of ancient thought had been relegated to the fringes, it has now become a central topic. Where the prayers in Platonic dialogues had been passed over in silence, they are now examined with all the resources of modern scholarly method. AT’s approach is both chronological, from Plato to Proclus, and thematic, examining philosophy, religion, and rhetoric. https://doi.org/10.20318/arys.2019.5005 - Arys, 17, 2019 [446-449] issn 1575-166x Recensiones 447 Beginning with Plato, AT divides his attention between the discussion in the Laws and the Republic, with the relation of prayer to the religious tradition and the role of civic cult, and the examination of Homer and religious poetry. In both in- stances, AT shows that Plato sees his task as defining the proper prayer for indi- viduals and cities and critiquing those expressions of prayer that fall outside what is proper, whether in the writings of the poets or the attempts of the immoral to influ- ence the gods.

  • Philosophy in the Roman Empire: Ethics, Politics and Society: Ethics
    PHILOSOPHY IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE Drawing on unusually broad range of sources for this study of Imperial period philosophical thought, Michael Trapp examines the central issues of personal morality, political theory, and social organization: philosophy as the pursuit of self- improvement and happiness; the conceptualization and management of emotion; attitudes and obligations to others; ideas of the self and personhood; constitutional theory and the ruler; the constituents and working of the good community. Texts and thinkers discussed range from Alexander of Aphrodisias, Aspasius and Alcinous, via Hierocles, Seneca, Musonius, Epictetus, Plutarch and Diogenes of Oenoanda, to Dio Chrysostom, Apuleius, Lucian, Maximus of Tyre, Pythagorean pseudepigrapha, and the Tablet of Cebes. The distinctive doctrines of the individual philosophical schools are outlined, but also the range of choice that collectively they presented to the potential philosophical ‘convert’, and the contexts in which that choice was encountered. Finally Trapp turns his attention to the status of philosophy itself as an element of the elite culture of the period, and to the ways in which philosophical values may have posed a threat to other prevalent schemes of value; Trapp argues that the idea of ‘philosophical opposition’, though useful, needs to be substantially modified and extended.

In quibus fere omnibus, cum Socrates loquens exprimatur, eas Socratis sententias fuisse vere simul atque eleganter dici potest quae in Platonis dialogis illius verbis efferuntur; et versa vice eas Platonis opiniones extitisse dicemus, quae ex ore Socratis pronuntiantur.1 The remark is one that a modern classical scholar could not but regard as staggeringly naïve, given the shelves full of books that have been written over the last two centuries attempting to recover the historical Socrates and, in particular, to distinguish his teaching from that of Plato.

Taylor’s notes have been omitted, and there have been some changes to the wording and punctuation to make the reading somewhat easier. This document is in the public domain. platonic-philosophy.org In disputing concerning dæmons, I can bear the opposition of arguments, I can endure the contention, and do not think that the conduct of him who doubts with himself, or with another, concerning the existence, essence, and magnitude of a dæmoniacal nature, is in any respect dire, erroneous, and absurd. For here indeed the name is uncertain; the essence of that which is investigated is unapparent, and its power is the subject of doubt. But now, in speaking of divinity, how shall I act? By what beauty of words, by what light from the clearest appellations, or by what harmony of composition, shall I be able to exhibit to myself and others that which is now investigated? For if Plato, who was the most eloquent of all men, even though compared with Homer himself, is not, in what he says respecting divinity, sufficiently understood by every one, and indeed there are those who enquire of others what the opinion of Plato was on this subject – if this be the case, he who is endued but with a small portion of intellect, will scarcely dare to engage in this investigation; unless we wish to imitate the conduct of him who should procure necessary drink for one thirsty, not from a pure and abundant fountain though present – a fountain to the sight most pleasant, to the taste most sweet, and for nutrition most prolific – but from a fountain debile and in no respect to be compared with the former.

  • “ „Knowing As We Are Known‟ in Confessions 10 and Other
    “ „Knowing as we are Known‟ in Confessions 10 and Other Philosophical, Augustinian and Christian Obedience to the Delphic Gnothi Seauton from Socrates to Modernity”1 Augustinian Studies 34:1 (2003) 23-48. Wayne J. Hankey A. THE OBEDIENCE OF MODERN AND MEDIAEVAL AUGUSTINIANS TO THE ORACLE “Our wisdom, in so far as it ought to be deemed true and solid wisdom, consists almost entirely of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves. But as these are connected together by many ties, it is not easy to determine which of the two precedes and gives birth to the other. ... [I]t is evident that man never attains to a true self-knowledge until he have previously contemplated the face of God, and come down after such contemplation to look into himself.” On this basis, Jean Calvin, from the beginning of whose Institutes of the Christian Religion I have been quoting, fixes the order of the Institutes. For Calvin, as for Eriugena, Aquinas, and other mediaeval theologians, the unity of epistemology and ontology, though differently balanced between them, determines that system treats first of God, then of the human.2 The Geneva Reformer wrote these words about 1536. One hundred years later, another French Augustinian, equally as important for the making of modernity, carried out another investigation of the connection between self-knowledge and knowledge of God. In his Meditations on the First Philosophy, René Descartes wrote to the same effect as Calvin had: ... I see that there is manifestly more reality in infinite substance than in finite, and therefore that in some way I have in me the notion of the infinite earlier than the finite to wit, the notion of God before that of myself.

  • Julian, Paideia and Education
    The Culture and Political World of the Fourth Century AD: Julian, paideia and Education Victoria Elizabeth Hughes Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology April 2018 Abstract This thesis examines the role of education and paideia in the political and cultural landscape of the mid-fourth century, focusing on the Greek East and the reign of Julian, particularly his educational measures. Julian’s edict and rescript on education are often understood (not least in light of the invectives of Gregory of Nazianzus) as marking an attempt on his part to ban Christians from teaching and, by extension, from engaging in elite public life. They have been used by some scholars as evidence to support the hypothesis that Julian, a committed pagan, implemented an anti-Christian persecution. This thesis reconsiders that hypothesis: it re-evaluates the reign of Julian and his educational measures, and considers the political role of paideia as the culmination and public expression of rhetorical education. Chapter one introduces the topic and provides a brief ‘literature review’ of the key items for a study of Julian and education in the fourth century. Chapter two addresses rhetorical education in the fourth century: it offers a survey of its methods and content, and explores the idea of a ‘typical’ student in contrast with ‘culture heroes’. Chapter three investigates the long-standing Christian debate on the compatibility of a traditional Greek education with Christian belief, and considers the role of Julian in this connection. Chapter four discusses the enhanced status of Latin and of law studies in light of the enlarged imperial administration in the fourth century, and considers the extent to which this development worked to the detriment of rhetorical studies.

  • Ancient Narrative Volume 7
    J.R. MORGAN, M. JONES (eds.), Philosophical Presences in the Ancient Novel Ancient Narrative Supplements 10 Pp. 282. Groningen: Barkhuis & Groningen University Library, 2007. Hard- back. €84.80 ISBN 9-789077-922378 Review by Ilaria L. E. Ramelli, Catholic University of Milan, [email protected] This fine collection of essays originated from a conference panel organized by the KYKNOS Research Centre for Ancient Narrative Literature (Swan- sea, Lampeter, and Exeter Universities). It is devoted to an assessment of the presence of philosophy, in various forms, in the Greek novels. First of all, for an investigation of this sort to be fruitful and methodol- ogically careful, it is necessary to determine what exactly “philosophy” means in the cultural context in which the Greek novels arose. This clarifica- tion is duly provided by the first essay: Michael Trapp, “What is This Phi- losophia Anyway?” (pp. 1–22). He explains how philosophy was understood in the Hellenistic and Roman periods,1 and includes in his discussion defini- tions of “philosophy” taken from Alcinoous’ Didaskalikos, Seneca, Lucian, Plutarch, and Maximus of Tyre, all belonging to the first two centuries of the Imperial era. In addition to these, however, texts such as the Cebetis Tabula, with its ethical allegories, are taken into consideration, and particular atten- tion is paid to Plutarch’s essays on moral progress, a notion that was val- orised – I should remark – in Roman Stoicism as well.2 The theoretical side of philosophy was especially stressed by Platonism (at least in Middle- Platonism and in Neoplatonism); the practical side was privileged by Roman ————— 1 A good survey, not cited here, is J.

Kavin Rowe An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2018 Copyright by Jennifer Lynn Benedict 2018 Abstract This dissertation investigates the political grammars of truth-telling employed by two sets of early Christian authors, the Cappadocian Fathers (Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Gregory of Nyssa), who wrote in Greek, and Augustine of Hippo, who wrote in Latin. My aim is to describe the rules that these thinkers take to order relations implicated in the Christian’s acts of parrhêsia and confessio before other human persons and before the LORD. To this end, I employ methodology derived from ordinary language philosophy (OLP), which understands the meaning of a word to be constituted by its use within the form of life of a particular community.
