Theoria, Theos, And Therapeia In Aristotle's Ethical Endings, Lawrence Jost
Theoria, Theos, And Therapeia In Aristotle's Ethical Endings, Lawrence Jost
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
My basic complaint is that it’s not at all obvious that maximizing the theoretical activity of our most divine element does full justice to the richly textured environment provided by the first 9 1/2 books of the NE, which seemed to call for focused development of the full range of our human potential, combining moral and intellectual virtues along with provision for adequate supplies of external goods. The older language of the seemingly endless debate about whether or not the NE settles for an inclusive or dominant-end conception of eudaimonia has been redescribed - in Michael Pakaluk’s new terminology - …

Plato On Truth And Falsehood, Anne M. Wiles
Plato On Truth And Falsehood, Anne M. Wiles
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
The argument of this paper is that Plato's position on medicinal lies is neither dishonest nor inconsistent. When adequately understood in its context, the account Plato gives of truth and falsehood offers valuable insights into the nature of each and the role both play in the moral life of the individual and the state.

To explore the ethical and political role of life-sized bronzes in ancient Greece, as Pliny and others report between 3,000 and 73,000 such statues in a city like Rhodes, this article asks what these bronzes looked like. Using the resources of hermeneutic phenomenological reflection, as well as a review of the nature of bronze and casting techniques, it is argued that the ancient Greeks encountered such statues as images of themselves in agonistic tension in dynamic and political fashion. The Greek saw, and at the same time felt himself regarded by, the statue not as he believed the statue divine …

Democracy In Plato's Republic: How Bad Is It Supposed To Be?, Mason Marshall
Democracy In Plato's Republic: How Bad Is It Supposed To Be?, Mason Marshall
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Scholars have typically thought that in the Republic democracy is supposed to be worse than timarchy and oligarchy. But lately, certain commentators have denied that it is. Is it, then? I argue that pursuing this question leads us to a dead end, because it is not clear how bad democracy is supposed to be in the Republic. Perhaps a debate on this topic would help us answer other questions, whatever they might be; but otherwise it would be fruitless. To make my case, I marshal the strongest available evidence that democracy is supposedly better than timarchy and oligarchy. Next I …
Aristotle On [Part Of] The Difference Between Belief And Imagination, Ian Mccready Flora
Aristotle On [Part Of] The Difference Between Belief And Imagination, Ian Mccready Flora
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
In book 3, chapter 3 of his On the Soul, Aristotle gives several arguments meant to demonstrate the type non-identity of belief and imagination. Each of these arguments rewards study, but this discussion will focus on one in particular, perhaps the most puzzling. The argument concerns the relation between truth and control. Belief is connected with truth and falsehood in a way that imagination is not, and that in turn means that we can control what we imagine in a way that we cannot control what we believe. Here is Aristotle’s argument in full:

A Journey Through The Evolution Of Stadia: How The Colosseum Moved Into America, Anthony F. Mangione
A Journey Through The Evolution Of Stadia: How The Colosseum Moved Into America, Anthony F. Mangione
Honors Bachelor of Arts
This paper will describe the differences and highlight the similarities between antiquity and the modern era in stadium design, construction, materials, and function as well as social implications of and connections to the stadium in an effort to demonstrate that we are forever indebted to the classical model of the stadium. Through detailed description of ancient stadia, and then a description of the evolution of modern stadia in America and Europe, this paper will show that the classical model, which was perfected in the Colosseum, is a direct influence upon our stadium model, even though the Colosseum and our stadium …
Poetic To Platonic AlēTheia Orality, Literacy, And The Development Of Truth In Greek Poetry And Philosophy, Justin B. Cecil
Poetic To Platonic AlēTheia Orality, Literacy, And The Development Of Truth In Greek Poetry And Philosophy, Justin B. Cecil
Institute for the Humanities Theses
In recent years many scholars have dedicated much research to the development of the Orality Problem. In its most general form, the Orality Problem is grounded in the following two questions: 1) is there a difference between spoken and written language and 2) if there is a difference between these two forms of communication what exactly is this difference and how does it operate. Research into these questions has two major sources to draw upon: cross-cultural research between literate and non-literate cultures and textual analysis of written oral records from ancient Greece. According to the mounting research, many scholars now …
In The Reign Of Queen Victoria: Fourteen Texts On Cyprus, 1878-91, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
In The Reign Of Queen Victoria: Fourteen Texts On Cyprus, 1878-91, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
Kyriakos N. Demetriou
This volume includes fourteen long neglected texts on the history, anthropology, politics and society of Cyprus during the first decades of the British rule. The volume is informed by a lengthy introduction by K. Demetriou, who examines the contribution of the British to modernizing the island, by introducing political reforms and improving the island’s economy and infrastructure. It also explores and analyses their perceptions of the indigenous population within the context of imperialist culture and racialist prejudices. Thus apart from being primary sources that belong to the a certain literary genre, this collection has sociological, historical and topographical interest, especially …

Aristotle's Generic Being, Edward C. Halper
Aristotle's Generic Being, Edward C. Halper
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Being is not a genus in the strict sense because there is no categorial nature that is common to all beings. This paper argues that Aristotle nevertheless treats being as a genus, that this treatment is what he means in Metaphysics Gamma by the science that studies being qua being, and that what is common to all beings is not some particular nature, but their each having a nature. This nature is its ousia, and in Gamma, these ousiai are the primary beings to which other beings are related, though later in the Metaphysics, in a different stage …
Aristotle On Friendship And Self-Knowledge: The Friend Beyond The Mirror, Mavis Biss
Aristotle On Friendship And Self-Knowledge: The Friend Beyond The Mirror, Mavis Biss
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Read through the lens of modern concerns regarding shard moral perception and difference between the self and other, Aristotle’s theory of primary friendship raises challenging questions regarding the role of relationships in moral self-evaluation. Aristotle’s emphasis on sameness of character in his description of the virtuous friend as “another self” figures centrally in all of his arguments for the necessity of friendship to self-knowledge. Although the attribution of the Magna Moralia to Aristotle is disputed, the comparison of the friend to a mirror in this work has encouraged many commentators to view the friend as a mirror that provides the …
