  • Classical Philosophy
    Classical Philosophy “This is a fine introduction to ancient philosophy, consistently clear and carefully argued; interesting and generally attractive to read. I also enjoyed how the various views of the philosophers were successfully tied to overarching themes, such as the contrast between the manifest and the scientific image of the world.” Vasilis Politis, Trinity College, Dublin “I found the volume well organized and philosophically engaging. It doesn’t talk down to the reader, nor attempt to blind him/her with science (or philosophy), so it should be well suited for the intelligent non-expert.” Raphael Woolf, Harvard University The origins of Western philosophy can be found in sixth-century BC Greece. There it was that philosophy developed into a discipline that considered such fundamental questions as the nature of human existence, our place in the universe, and our attitudes towards an interactive politicized society. Every development in philosophy indeed stems from the thinkers of this enlightened time. Classical Philosophy is a comprehensive examination of early philosophy, from the Presocratics through to Aristotle. The aim of the book is to provide an explanation and analysis of the ideas that flourished at this time, and to consider their relevance, both to the historical development of philosophy and to contemporary philosophy today. From these ideas we can see the roots of arguments in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy. The book is arranged in four parts by thinker and covers • the Presocratics • Socrates • Plato • Aristotle Christopher Shields’ style is inviting, refreshing, and ideal for anyone coming to the subject for the first time.

  • Academic Eloquence and the End of Cicero's De Finibus
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by St Andrews Research Repository ACADEMIC ELOQUENCE AND THE END OF CICERO’S DE FINIBUS * A.G.Long Abstract The paper considers why the structure of Cicero’s De Finibus implicitly favours the Academy, even though Cicero avoids a decision between the Stoic theory and Antiochus’ theory. Cicero’s educational aims require him to illustrate not only a range of theories but a range of criteria by which theories and the exposition of theories should be judged. By one criterion – style of exposition – the entire Academic tradition, not Antiochus specifically, is endorsed. Cicero’s De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum stages debates between exponents and critics of three ethical theories, with the part of critic taken by Cicero himself in each of the three debates. The first theory is Epicurean, the second Stoic; the third is harder to label, as it is attributed by Cicero not to a single philosopher or school but to a trio: Antiochus, Peripatetics and the so-called ‘Old Academy’ (v 8; cf. ii 34 and v 21). Like others I shall refer to it as the ‘Antiochian’ theory, but it is important to keep in mind Cicero’s claim (which evidently derives from Antiochus himself, v 14) that the theory’s provenance is pre-Antiochian too. In the survey of his philosophical writing in De Divinatione Cicero says that his aim in writing De Finibus was to make known the arguments for and against each of the philosophers’ theories (ii 2).

  • The Birth of Belief, (PDF)
    The Birth of Belief Jessica Moss (NYU) and Whitney Schwab (UMBC)* Forthcoming in the Journal of the History of Philosophy 1 Introduction Did Plato and Aristotle have anything to say about belief? The answer to this question might seem blindingly obvious: of course they did. Plato distinguishes belief from knowledge in the Meno, Republic, and Theaetetus, and Aristotle does so in the Posterior Analytics. Plato distinguishes belief from perception in the Theaetetus, and Aristotle does so in the de Anima. They talk about the distinction between true and false beliefs, and the ways in which belief can mislead and the ways in which it can steer us aright. Indeed, they make belief a central component of their epistemologies. The view underlying these claims—one so widespread these days as to remain largely unquestioned—is that when Plato and Aristotle talk about doxa, they are talking about what we now call belief. Or, at least, they are talking about something so closely related to what we now call belief that no philosophical importance can be placed on any differences. Doxa is the ancient counterpart of belief: hence, the use nowadays of ‘doxastic' as the adjective corresponding to ‘belief.' One of our aims in this paper is to challenge this view. We argue that Plato and Aristotle raise questions and advance views about doxa that would be very strange if they concerned belief. This suggests either that Plato and Aristotle had very strange ideas about belief, or that doxa is not best understood as belief. We argue for the latter option by pursuing our second aim, which is to show that Aristotle, expanding on ideas suggested in Plato, explicitly develops a notion that corresponds much more closely to our modern notion of belief: hupolepsis.

    Template: Royal A, Font: , Date: 28/01/2015; 3B2 version: 10.0.1465/W Unicode (Dec 22 2011) (APS_OT) Dir: //integrafs1/kcg/2-Pagination/TandF/CICERO_COR/ApplicationFiles/9781844658404_text.3d CICERO Cicero’s philosophical works introduced Latin audiences to the ideas of the Stoics, Epicureans and other schools and figures of the post-Aristotelian period, thus influencing the transmission of those ideas through later history. While Cicero’s value as documentary evidence for the Hellenistic schools is unquestioned, Cicero: The Philosophy of a Roman Sceptic explores his writings as works of philosophy that do more than simply synthesize the thought of others, but instead offer a unique viewpoint of their own. In this volume Raphael Woolf describes and evaluates Cicero’s philosophical achievements, paying particular attention to his relation to those philosophers he draws upon in his works, his Romanizing of Greek philosophy, and his own sceptical and dialectical outlook. The volume aims, using the best tools of philosophical, philological and historical analysis, to do Cicero justice as a distinctive philosophical voice. Situating Cicero’s work in its historical and political context, this volume provides a detailed analysis of the thought of one of the finest orators and writers of the Roman period. Written in an accessible and engaging style, Cicero: The Philosophy of a Roman Sceptic is a key resource for those interested in Cicero’s role in shaping Classical philosophy. Raphael Woolf is Reader in Philosophy at King’s College London. His work focuses on ancient philosophy, and he has published on Plato, Aristotle and Hellenistic philosophy.
