Parallel Philosophical Illustrations in Late Antique Greek and in Indian Philosophies DOI: 10.14754/CEU.2018.07 Doctoral Dissertation Wandering Lotuses: Parallel Philosophical Illustrations in Late Antique Greek and in Indian Philosophies by Anna Aklan Supervisors: Istvan Perczel (CEU) Ferenc Ruzsa (ELTE) Submitted to the Medieval Studies Department, and the Doctoral School of History Central European University, Budapest in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Medieval Studies, and for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2018 DOI: 10.14754/CEU.2018.07 Dedicated to Prof. Zsigmond Ritoók and To the memory of Prof. Csaba Töttössy CEU eTD Collection DOI: 10.14754/CEU.2018.07 Abstract “As the lotus wanders from one pond to another without any means of conveyance”1 – compares Śaṅkara the creative activity of Brahman to an assemblage of lotuses which appear without any perceivable means of transfer in a pond where previously there were none, most probably from another pond where they have been seen before. The title of this dissertation is an allusion to the same or similar philosophical examples that are present in Late Antique Greek and in Indian philosophies separately, without any explicit means of transfer. Similarly to Śaṅkara’s unrefuted opponents, in the dissertation we attempt to give a logical explanation to these parallels. In our approach to comparative philosophy, this study engages in questions of historical influence between philosophical texts. Other types of philosophical, i.e. structural, conceptual, or phenomenological comparisons are also justified, which consciously avoid the question of influence. The present research, however, is explicitly dedicated to the question of influence from India to Greece, or vice versa, and as such, is intended to be a continuation of previous work done by other scholars regarding the texts examined here. The dissertation comprises two case studies in comparative Late Antique and Indian philosophies. The first one focuses on two similar passages in the work of Porphyry (233–305 CE), Neoplatonist philosopher, and Śaṅkara (cc. 8th century CE), the most illustrious representative of Advaita Vedānta philosophy. The similarities, discovered by Émile Bréhier in the 1950s, are studied for the first time in their original languages. The polemical texts refute the idea of the creation of the world, while maintaining its ontological dependency on the highest principle. Due to a detailed textual and contextual comparison, the conclusion is drawn that the similarities on the surface do not involve structural and conceptual connection between the two texts. The parallels are mostly confined to metaphorical ways of expression, which, on the other hand, undoubtedly exist. These metaphors that are present in both texts were most probably due to intellectual exchange – even if not due to influence out of textual contact but most probably due to verbal communication. Both texts are deeply embedded in their own traditions and display several layers of previous philosophies. It is difficult to CEU eTD Collection tell in what period the parallel expressions were transferred from one culture to the other. It seems practical to postulate a “common pool” of philosophical expressions, a certain distinct philosophical language, which was available to philosophers of both cultures. Various authors used these metaphors as building blocks in the expression of their theories – they used them as it best fitted their purposes. 1 Padminī cânapekṣya kiṁcit prasthāna-sādhanaṁ saro'ntarāt saro'ntaraṁ pratiṣṭhate... BSBh 2.1.25. Translated by George Thibaut. 1 DOI: 10.14754/CEU.2018.07 The second case study is concerned with the writings of Sextus Empiricus (2nd–3rd centuries CE), Sceptic philosopher, whose works show a remarkable plenitude of similar elements that occur abundantly within various kinds of Indian philosophies. Following Aram M. Frenkian’s investigation, our study re-examines the three elements identified by Frenkian as Indian influences in Sextus’ oeuvre: the smoke-fire illustration, the snake-rope analogy, and the quadrilemma. The same elements, among others, were identified by Thomas McEvilley as evidence of Greek influence upon Madhyamaka Buddhism. After inspecting the supposedly earliest occurrences in both Greek and Indian philosophy and literature, we have to acknowledge, at least until other evidence occurs, that these three elements are not indicators of borrowing – they probably form part of the shared metaphors and ways of expressions described above. There is one exception, however, in the case of the smoke- fire example used in the theory of signs, when not only the illustration but the whole theory is present in both traditions – but due to lack of other evidence and especially, due to the lack of clearly determined chronologies, it is difficult to assess the actual type and cause of intertextuality. The dissertation provides historical and theoretical background to the philosophical comparisons: the well-known and vivid trade relations between the Mediterranean and India in the first centuries of the Common Era, and the Indian presence in Egypt, also the Greek-speaking merchants staying temporarily in Indian ports, together with possibly the descendants of Greeks from the time of the Indo-Greek and Bactrian kingdoms, made exchange of philosophical ideas, and even more, diffusion of ways of expression possible. The study is placed within the theoretical background of the Mediterraneist–thalassological approach suggested by Braudel, Horden and Purcell. CEU eTD Collection 2 DOI: 10.14754/CEU.2018.07 Acknowledgements This dissertation represents the highest step I have reached in my academic career so far. It has been a heroic effort with tremendous amount of help from the academia and from my family and friends. I feel it appropriate to express my sincere and deep gratitude to all those people and institutions without whose kind and generous help this dissertation could not have materialized. First of all, I would like to thank the Central European University for admitting me to pursue my research and for having provided me full scholarship and various kinds of support during my enrollment. I am particularly grateful for the Doctoral Research Support Grant, due to which I could spend two months at the Pondicherry Centre of the École Française d’Extrême Orient (EFEO) in India in August-September 2017. I would also like to thank my department, the Department of Medieval Studies, CEU, for accepting this unusual research topic and for supporting me in all possible ways. I am especially grateful to the École Française d’Extrême Orient for granting me a further field research scholarship for three months from February to May 2018. The Pondicherry Centre of EFEO represents the highest academic standards and leading research globally in the field of Indology. It has been a privilege to participate in the readings led by the scholars of the Centre and to conduct research there. These two research travels proved highly definitive periods for my studies. It was also inspiring to complete my thesis in the location where two of the most prominent comparativists of the field, Jean Filliozat, former director of the EFEO, and Frits Staal, who gained his doctorate at the University of Madras, worked. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Philosophy Institute, Faculty of Humanities, Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE BTK), whose professors have helped me by providing access to their readings and other classes and who have assisted me with their most valuable advice. Here I would like to repeat thanks to my Alma Mater, the Faculty of Humanities, ELTE, whose three departments, the Dept. Of Indo-European Studies, the Dept. Of Greek Language and Literature, and the Dept. Of Latin Language and Literature were my home for years and whose high scholarly standards I have hopes to be reflected in my work. Concerning individuals, the greatest and most heartfelt gratitude I would like to express to my supervisor, Prof. Ferenc Ruzsa, who has been instrumental in writing this dissertation from the very first day of the process to the very last. Prof. Ruzsa has proved to be not only an excellent scholar and specialist of Indian philosophy and Sanskrit language, whose lectures, readings, books and articles have been highly influential on my knowledge of Indian philosophy, but he has also been a real guru in all respects, who persuaded me to stand up and proceed even at times when I got overwhelmed by the project. Without his endless support, unlimited patience and belief in me, this dissertation could never have been materialized. His name should be mentioned on almost every page of this dissertation out of gratitude. I also thank him for providing me with the Sextus-project, accompanied by his list of Indian parallels in the writings of the Sceptic philosopher. My thanks are also due to my other supervisor, Istvan Perczel for acquainting me with Advaita Vedānta. I also thank him for his generosity of handig the Porphyry-Śaṅkara project over to me, and CEU eTD Collection for providing access to his unpublished articles. I thank him for his conviction that I would be able to handle this complicated material. At the end of the process, I can also appreciate his insistence on my research travels to India. In the final phases of my studies, the time I spent in India was extremely formative and essential. My sincere gratitude goes to Dominic Goodall, director of the Pondicherry Centre, EFEO, who has always supported me in my applications, and whose readings have significantly opened up my intellectual horizon. I am particularly grateful to Hugo David, who patiently read Śaṅkara with me in Pondicherry both times - I have profited immensely from his excellent explanations and from his all-encompassing 3 DOI: 10.14754/CEU.2018.07 expertise in Indian philosophy. I am especially grateful to Anjaneya Sarma, who was also present at most of these readings, for providing authentic interpretations of the texts.

Ames, Chairperson Tamara Albertini Chung-ying Cheng James E. Tiles David R. McCraw © Copyright 2004 by John Trowbridge iii Dedicated to my wife, Jill iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In completing this research, I would like to express my appreciation first and foremost to my wife, Jill, and our three children, James, Holly, and Henry for their support during this process. I would also like to express my gratitude to my entire dissertation committee for their insight and understanding ofthe topics at hand. Studying under Roger Ames has been a transformative experience. In particular, his commitment to taking the Chinese tradition on its own terms and avoiding the tendency among Western interpreters to overwrite traditional Chinese thought with the preoccupations ofWestern philosophy has enabled me to broaden my conception ofphilosophy itself. Roger's seminars on Confucianism and Daoism, and especially a seminar on writing a philosophical translation ofthe Zhongyong r:pJm (Achieving Equilibrium in the Everyday), have greatly influenced my own initial attempts to translate and interpret the seminal philosophical texts ofancient China. Tamara Albertini's expertise in ancient Greek philosophy was indispensable to this project, and a seminar I audited with her, comparing early Greek and ancient Chinese philosophy, was part ofthe inspiration for my choice ofresearch topic. I particularly valued the opportunity to study Daoism and the Yijing ~*~ with Chung-ying Cheng g\Gr:p~ and benefited greatly from his theory ofonto-cosmology as a means of understanding classical Chinese philosophy.

    PRINCIPLES OF LOGIC ROEHAMPTON : PRINTED BY JOHN GRIFFIN ^PRINCIPLES OF LOGIC By GEORGE HAYWARD JOYCE, S.J. M.A., ORIEL COLLEGE, OXFORD PROFESSOR OF LOGIC, ST. MARY S HALL, STONYHURST *.r LONGMANS, GREEN & CO 39, PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON NEW YORK. BOMBAY, AND CALCUTTA 1908 INTRODUCTION THIS work is an attempt at a presentment of what is fre quently termed the Traditional Logic, and is intended for those who are making acquaintance with philosophical questions for the first time. Yet it is impossible, even in a text-book such as this, to deal with logical questions save in connexion with definite metaphysical and epistemolo- gical principles. Logic, as the theory of the mind s rational processes in regard of their validity, must neces sarily be part of a larger philosophical system. Indeed when this is not the case, it becomes a mere collection of technical rules, possessed of little importance and of less interest. The point of view adopted in this book is that of the Scholastic as far as is philosophy ; and compatible with the size and purpose of the work, some attempt has been made to vindicate the fundamental principles on which that philosophy is based. From one point of view, this position should prove a source of strength. The thinkers who elaborated our sys tem of Logic, were Scholastics. With the principles of that philosophy, its doctrines and its rules are in full accord. In the light of Scholasticism, the system is a connected whole ; and the subjects, traditionally treated in it, have each of them its legitimate place.

    KNOWLEDGE AND ITS LIMITS COL 241 – ANTIQUITY COLLOQUIUM – FALL 2017 The Temptation and Expulsion of Adam and Eve, fresco in Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo (1509-10) Prof. Gabrielle Ponce-Hegenauer Prof. Tushar Irani [email protected] [email protected] Office hours: Office hours: Tues. 2:00-5:00pm Tues. and Thurs. 10:30-11:30am Boger 319 Boger 321 Description The sophomore antiQuity colloQuium is the first of a series of five that together constitute the core of the COL program. Our theme this semester is “knowledge and its limits.” Together, we will be reading and interpreting works of literature, history, and philosophy from 7th-century BCE Greece to 3rd-century CE Rome, as well as Jewish scripture. This period marks one of the richest phases of cultural, political, and intellectual innovation in human history. As appeals to aristocratic and religious authorities began to lose their force in this period, questions concerning what to believe, what we can know, and how we know what we know took on key significance. We will explore various approaches to these problems this semester through the study of literature, history, and philosophy. But we will also see how, in tackling such Questions, these disciplines came to develop in this period into uniQue modes of discourse in their own right, with distinctive but compatible ways of interpreting the world around us and the human situation. Readings The translations overleaf are required and are available at the Wesleyan RJ Julia Bookstore on Main Street. (ISBNs for all books are provided in case you wish to purchase the entire list yourselves.) Many of these works can be bought in good second-hand condition online for an inexpensive price, but you must purchase the same translations and editions of the texts listed below so that we’re all on the same page for class discussion.

  • 3 Arcesilaus and Carneades
    C:/ITOOLS/WMS/CUP/552750/WORKINGFOLDER/BCP/9780521874762C03.3D 58 [58–80] 24.9.2009 7:15AM harald thorsrud 3 Arcesilaus and Carneades Arcesilaus initiated a sceptical phase in the Academy after taking over in c. 268 BCE. He was motivated in part by an innovative reading of Plato’s dialogues. Where his predecessors found positive doctrines to be systematically developed, he found a dialectical method of arguing and the sceptical view that nothing can be known (akatalêpsia, De Or. 3.67,seeDL4.28, 4.32). He also advanced this conclusion in opposition to the ambitious system of the Stoics, claiming further that the appropriate response to the pervasive uncertainty generated by his method is the suspension of judgement (epochê). Arcesilaus’ dialectical method was practiced without significant modification in the Academy until Carneades, who became head sometime before 155 BCE.1 Carneades both continued and strength- ened Arcesilaus’ method (ND 1.11, Acad. 2.16, see also Acad. 1.46, and Eusebius, Praep. evang. 14.7.15). Sextus marks the change by referring to Plato’s Academy as Old, Arcesilaus’ as Middle, and Carneades’ as New (PH 1.220). Since the main interpretative issues regarding both Arcesilaus and Carneades depend on the concepts of akatalêpsia and epochê,we must try to determine what they mean, how they are related, and what attitude the Academics take towards them – i.e. in what sense, if any, are these their sceptical doctrines? iarcesilaus The view that Arcesilaus derived from Plato’s dialogues might have taken one of two very different forms. He might have discovered some arguments that show knowledge is not possible.

  • Handel's Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment By
    Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Emeritus John H. Roberts Professor George Haggerty, UC Riverside Professor Kevis Goodman Fall 2013 Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment Copyright 2013 by Jonathan Rhodes Lee ABSTRACT Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Throughout the 1740s and early 1750s, Handel produced a dozen dramatic oratorios. These works and the people involved in their creation were part of a widespread culture of sentiment. This term encompasses the philosophers who praised an innate “moral sense,” the novelists who aimed to train morality by reducing audiences to tears, and the playwrights who sought (as Colley Cibber put it) to promote “the Interest and Honour of Virtue.” The oratorio, with its English libretti, moralizing lessons, and music that exerted profound effects on the sensibility of the British public, was the ideal vehicle for writers of sentimental persuasions. My dissertation explores how the pervasive sentimentalism in England, reaching first maturity right when Handel committed himself to the oratorio, influenced his last masterpieces as much as it did other artistic products of the mid- eighteenth century. When searching for relationships between music and sentimentalism, historians have logically started with literary influences, from direct transferences, such as operatic settings of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, to indirect ones, such as the model that the Pamela character served for the Ninas, Cecchinas, and other garden girls of late eighteenth-century opera.
