  • Les Orationes De Denis Lambin. La Défense Du Grec Dans L
    Astrid QUILLIEN LES ORATIONES DE DENIS LAMBIN LA DEFENSE DU GREC DANS L’ ORATIO DE UTILITATE LINGUAE GRAECAE ET RECTA GRAECORUM LATINE INTERPRETANDORUM RATIONE (22 octobre 1571) INTRODUCTION Tout comme Josse Bade, Marc-Antoine Muret ou Nicolas Bérault, Denis Lambin 1 eut, lui aussi, un rôle important à jouer dans la transmission des Classiques. Mais ce grand humaniste, Lecteur et Traducteur Royal de latin puis de grec dans les années 1560 et au début des années 1570, présente des méthodes de travail, une idéologie différentes de ses prédécesseurs. Une comparaison du commentaire de Denis Lambin sur l’ Art poétique d’Horace (1561) 2 avec celui de Josse Bade (1500), m’avait permis de montrer que le commentaire de Lambin était plus systématique et scientifique, en raison d’une différence d’auditoire, mais aussi d’époque 3. Pour ce qui est des praelectiones de Lambin, de ses leçons inaugurales au Collège Royal, il apparaît que l’époque, son caractère, son statut, le milieu auquel il appartient et l’auditoire auquel il s’adresse conditionnent sa rhétorique, sa pédagogie, son attitude, ses arguments. L’ Oratio De Utilitate , prononcée le 22 octobre 1571 4, représente le dernier discours prononcé par Lambin au Collège Royal avant sa mort. Comme certains prédécesseurs (Politien, Bérault 5), le Lecteur Royal ne respecte pas la forme traditionnelle, médiévale, de la praelectio , qui visait surtout à présenter l’auteur et l’œuvre étudiés, mais il l’adapte à ses préoccupations, à son époque, à sa personnalité. Ainsi, il y met en scène un ethos 1 Denis Lambin est né à Montreuil-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais) en 1519.

La falsedad no se dispersa por la simple comparación con la verdad, sino que la práctica de la verdad la fuerza a huir. Protréptico 8.77.3 PREFACIO Una tesis doctoral debe tratar de contribuir al avance del conocimiento humano en su disciplina, y la pretensión de que este comentario al Protréptico tenga la máxima utilidad posible me obliga a escribirla en inglés porque es la única lengua que hoy casi todos los interesados pueden leer. Pero no deja de ser extraño que en la casa de Nebrija se deje de lado la lengua castellana. La deuda que contraigo ahora con el español sólo se paliará si en el futuro puedo, en compensación, “dar a los hombres de mi lengua obras en que mejor puedan emplear su ocio”. Empiezo ahora a saldarla, empleándola para estos agradecimientos, breves en extensión pero no en sinceridad. Mi gratitud va, en primer lugar, al Cardenal Don Gil Álvarez de Albornoz, fundador del Real Colegio de España, a cuya generosidad y previsión debo dos años provechosos y felices en Bolonia. Al Rector, José Guillermo García-Valdecasas, que administra la herencia de Albornoz con ejemplar dedicación, eficacia y amor a la casa. A todas las personas que trabajan en el Colegio y hacen que cumpla con creces los objetivos para los que se fundó. Y a mis compañeros bolonios durante estos dos años. Ha sido un honor muy grato disfrutar con todos ellos de la herencia albornociana.

  • Plato: Influences and Context1
    Θεαίτητος | Theaetetus 1 1. Plato: Influences and Context1 1. Socrates. Plato is a member of his inner circle (Apology 34a, Phaedo 59b). Like others, he began to write ‘Socratic discourses’ (Aristotle) after Socrates’s death, continuing for forty years. Philosophy is a dialectical inquiry. Lifelong engagement with sophists. 2. Politics in Athens. The trial and execution of Socrates in 399 BCE shatters Plato’s political confidence. His aristocratic origin contributes to scepticism about democracy and the philosopher’s role in the city (cf. Tht. 172c). Yet: philosophy flourished in late 5th-century Athens. 3. Italy, Sicily. Plato visits Syracuse three times (see next page). He aimed to meet Pythagoreans, in particular Archytas (Tarentum), whose ideas are discernible in his work: immortality of the soul, mathematics, philosophical community. Consequence: founding of Academy in c. 387 BCE (dissolved in 527 CE). 4. Isokrates. The highly influential rhetor (orator) was a life-long foe. Tyranny at home: political rhetoric does (even) more harm than the Sophists (cf. the confusing logic-chopping in Euthydemus; cf. Tht. 164 c, 197a). Rivalry shapes Plato’s mature philosophy. 5. Parmenides, Heraclitus. Before joining Socrates, Plato studied with Cratylus and thus knew Heraclitean views (flux theory). Parmenides of Elea (Italy, early 5th century): only what is could be an intelligible object of thought—the forms. 6. Academy. Plato’s late work depends increasingly less on Socrates. His own views develop in the academy, in conversation with fellow ‘academics’, such as Aristotle. In 347, there are about 20 ‘disciples’, including two women.2 Leaves no dogmatic canon. Successors: Speusippus, Xenocrates, and Polemo (i.e.

THE GIRLFRIENDS’ LETTERS: POIKILIA IN THE BOOK 4 OF ALCIPHRON’S LETTERS Michel Briand Alciphron, an ambivalent post-modern Like Lucian of Samosata and other sophistic authors, as Longus or Achilles Tatius, Alciphron typically represents an ostensibly post-classical brand of literature and culture, which in many ways resembles our post- modernity, caught in permanent tension between virtuoso, ironic, critical, and distanced meta-fictionality, on the one hand, and a conscious taste for outspoken and humorous “bad taste”, Bakhtinian carnavalesque, social and moral margins, convoluted plots and sensational plays of immersion and derision, or realism and artificiality: the way Alciphron’s collection has been judged is related to the devaluation, then revaluation, the Second Sophistic was submitted to, according to inherently aesthetical and political arguments, quite similar to those with which one often criticises or defends literary, theatrical, or cinematographic post- 1 modernity.

    Deutsche Biographie – Onlinefassung ADB-Artikel Sylburg: Friedrich. — S. wurde im J. 1536 zu Wetter, einem nicht weit von Marburg gelegenen Städtchen der preußischen Provinz Hessen-Nassau, als der Sohn eines dortigen Ackerbürgers geboren. Auf der Schule seiner Vaterstadt, der er die Grundlage seiner Bildung verdankte, waren seine Lehrer die Rectoren Joh. Fönilius und Justus Vultejus, von denen der Letztere später Pädagogiarch und zuletzt Professor der hebräischen Sprache zu Marburg wurde. Auch der gelehrte Pfarrer des Ortes, Joh. Pincier (s. A. D. B. XXVI, 148), von dem unter dem Namen Elias Palingenius mehrere Schriften über das heil. Abendmahl veröffentlicht worden sind, nahm sich des begabten Jünglings an und erklärte ihm die Schrift des Kirchenvaters Theodoret über die Vorsehung.|Von Wetter ging S. auf die Universität Marburg, wo er sich hauptsächlich mit dem Studium der beiden altclassischen Sprachen und der Geschichte beschäftigte. Sodann nach Jena. Die von J. A. Fabricius in seiner Bibl. Graec. III, 169 vorgebrachte und dann vielfach nachgeschriebene Angabe, S. sei dort ein Schüler Lorenz Rhodomann's gewesen, erweist sich schon dadurch als unrichtig, daß dieser seiner Zeit vielgepriesene griechische Verskünstler und Historiker zehn Jahre jünger war als S. und erst 1591 nach Jena gekommen ist (s. A. D. B. XXVIII, 393). Im J. 1559 befand sich S. in Genf und wendete sich von dort nach Paris. Hier schloß er sich eng an den gelehrten Buchdrucker und Buchhändler Henri Estienne (Henricus Stephanus) an, um sich von ihm noch tiefer und gründlicher in die Kenntniß der griechischen Sprache einführen zu lassen. Zum Dank dafür hat er später seinem Lehrer für dessen bekannten Thesaurus Graecae linguae (1572, 5 Bde.) werthvolle Beiträge geliefert, ohne daß dieser, als sich die Gelegenheit dazu darbot, zu einer ähnlichen Dienstleistung sich hätte bereit finden lassen.

  • Parmenides' Theistic Metaphysics
    Parmenides’ Theistic Metaphysics BY ©2016 Jeremy C. DeLong Submitted to the graduate degree program in Philosophy and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson: Tom Tuozzo ________________________________ Eileen Nutting ________________________________ Scott Jenkins ________________________________ John Symons ________________________________ John Younger Date Defended: May 6th, 2016 ii The Dissertation Committee for Jeremy C. DeLong certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Parmenides’ Theistic Metaphysics ________________________________ Chairperson: Thomas Tuozzo Date Defended: May 6th, 2016 iii Abstract: The primary interpretative challenge for understanding Parmenides’ poem revolves around explaining both the meaning of, and the relationship between, its two primary sections: a) the positively endorsed metaphysical arguments which describe some unified, unchanging, motionless, and eternal “reality” (Aletheia), and b) the ensuing cosmology (Doxa), which incorporates the very principles explicitly denied in Aletheia. I will refer to this problem as the “A-D Paradox.” I advocate resolving this paradoxical relationship by reading Parmenides’ poem as a ring-composition, and incorporating a modified version of Palmer’s modal interpretation of Aletheia. On my interpretation, Parmenides’ thesis in Aletheia is not a counter-intuitive description of how all the world (or its fundamental, genuine entities) must truly be, but rather a radical rethinking of divine nature. Understanding Aletheia in this way, the ensuing “cosmology” (Doxa) can be straightforwardly rejected as an exposition of how traditional, mythopoetic accounts have misled mortals in their understanding of divinity. Not only does this interpretative view provide a resolution to the A-D Paradox, it offers a more holistic account of the poem by making the opening lines of introduction (Proem) integral to understanding Parmenides’ message.
