Mistakes And Fatal Miscalculations In Cicero's Political Career, Alicia S. Silver
Mistakes And Fatal Miscalculations In Cicero's Political Career, Alicia S. Silver
MALS Final Projects, 1995-2019
Marcus Tullius Cicero was a pivotal character in the transitional period from the end of the Roman Republic to the beginning of what was to become the Roman Empire . His contribution to our modern knowledge of Roman history, mores, judicial practices, the daily lives of the patrician class and more is invaluable. More than any other Roman, he left us with a breathing account of life in his times, through his correspondence with friends, family and associates, his many political and philosophical doctrines and, of course, his speeches in the Senate and trial courts of Rome. Cicero was brilliant, …
Roman Slavery: A Study Of Roman Society And Its Dependence On Slaves., Andrew Mason Burks
Roman Slavery: A Study Of Roman Society And Its Dependence On Slaves., Andrew Mason Burks
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Rome's dependence upon slaves has been well established in terms of economics and general society. This paper, however, seeks to demonstrate this dependence, during the end of the Republic and the beginning of the Empire, through detailed examples of slave use in various areas of Roman life. The areas covered include agriculture, industry, domestic life, the state, entertainment, intellectual life, military, religion, and the use of female slaves. A look at manumission demonstrates Rome's growing awareness of this dependence. Through this discussion, it becomes apparent that Roman society existed during this time as it did due to slavery. Rome depended …
The Platonic Legend [In Greek], Kyriakos N. Demetriou
The Platonic Legend [In Greek], Kyriakos N. Demetriou
Kyriakos N. Demetriou
This is the first study ever on the history of modern Platonic exegesis in Greek, and would hopefully introduce the “Rezeptionsgechichte” discipline into Greek academia. What I am trying to prove is a simple, albeit controversial thesis, namely that the existence of so many conflicting accounts about Plato’s philosophy proves that George Grote’s argument put forward in the 1860s (in a nutshell, that Plato had no distinct philosophical system to establish apart from a consistent aim running through the dialogues, that of expounding a philosophical method -- not a doctrine), is still compellingly legitimate. The existence of many “Platonisms” (in …
Belief And Persuasion In The Socratic Elenchus, Dylan Futter
Belief And Persuasion In The Socratic Elenchus, Dylan Futter
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Perhaps the most remarkable feature of Socrates’ philosophical method is how unsuccessful it is. One problem is that elenchus seems able only to destroy common belief without generating anything substantive in its place. Another is that it seems incapable of getting anyone to relinquish his unsupported beliefs. Plato is acutely aware of these problems. In the Meno, he undertakes to show that Socrates’ method of inquiry is capable of generating substantive results. In the Gorgias, he reveals why some people are not moved by reasoned argument. And in the Republic he proposes a complex model of moral belief-formation, …
Aristotle's Abstract Ontology, Allan Bäck
Aristotle's Abstract Ontology, Allan Bäck
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Aristotle has a metaphysics of individual substances, substrata persisting through time that are neither in nor said of a subject. That I do not dispute. However, when we move from the individual to the universal, from perception to knowledge, Aristotle has a metaphysics of relations. This I will try to sketch out here.
Aristotle appeals to abstraction at key places in his philosophy. Somehow abstraction gets us to the first principles and to the objects of the most fundamental sciences. Somehow universals are abstracted from singulars and have no transcendent existence.
Aristotle never states his theory of abstraction formally or …
Plato And Aristotle On The Instant Of Change - A Dilemma, John Bowin
Plato And Aristotle On The Instant Of Change - A Dilemma, John Bowin
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
There is an ancient puzzle about motion in Plato at Parmenides 155e-157b which has been the subject of scholarship by Richard Sorabji and more recently, Nico Strobach.1 The puzzle, as Plato gives it, can be roughly summarized as follows: At every time, a given object must either be in motion or at rest; there is no third possibility. Also, an object can never be simultaneously both in motion and at rest. The only way for an object to be both in motion and at rest is for it to be in motion and at rest at different times. But how …

Appetites And Actions In Aristotle's Moral Psychology, Tom Olshewsky
Appetites And Actions In Aristotle's Moral Psychology, Tom Olshewsky
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
The so-called practical syllogism is best understood in dispositional terms. Animate movement originates with orexis (appetite), but appetite is the result of the coming together of dual dispositions, the orektikon and the orekton. For calculative appetite, multiple objectives can be imagined, and deliberation determines which objective is best for this person in this circumstance. Deliberation is an antecedent of the actualized appetite, not its consequence. This psychology makes clear that satisfaction of appetites is a two-stage process for calculative beings: first the determination of the appetite, then movement to fulfillment in its objective. In deliberation, the determination is which …
Persuasion And Force In Plato's Republic, Christopher Moore
Persuasion And Force In Plato's Republic, Christopher Moore
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Despite the frequent pairing of and contrast between persuasion and force, Plato’s Republic undermines any coherent split between these two modes of handling others. This paper provides two major pieces of evidence to support this claim: (i) Book I dramatizes the weakness of the distinction; and (ii) the arguments that the best rulers will rule only under coercion (in Books I, V, VII, and IX) makes the distinction into an obvious conundrum. Further evidence omitted here is Plato’s tendency to subvert this same rhetorically popular binary elsewhere, especially Statesman, Sophist and Laws. Given that Plato doesn’t explicitly question the persuasion-force …

Lawsuits In Context, Ernest Metzger
Lawsuits In Context, Ernest Metzger
Ernest Metzger
The study of Roman procedure has benefited enormously from the discovery of wooden tablets near Pompeii. Unfortunately, the tablets are sometimes misinterpreted, for the simple reason that the procedures they describe do not always match the procedures which more familiar sources have led us to believe existed. The tablets, in fact, give us the rare opportunity to revise our understanding of procedure, particularly when taken together with another remarkable find, the lex Irnitana. This article gives a sketch of the ‘new’ Roman civil procedure now available to us as a result of these exciting finds.

Ariadne As The Exemplum Of The Virtutes Of Heroes In Catullus Carmen 64, Chad P. Brown
Ariadne As The Exemplum Of The Virtutes Of Heroes In Catullus Carmen 64, Chad P. Brown
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
In Carmen 64, Catullus establishes Ariadne as an exemplum of a new type of hero whose uirtutes are motivated by love rather than by the desire for glory that motivated traditional male epic heroes. Catullus utilizes the ecphrasis, a literary device which is traditionally a digression from the main narrative, to place Ariadne in this new heroic role. The first chapter reviews the past scholarship of Carmen 64. The second chapter examines how Catullus makes Ariadne the exemplum of this new type of hero while presenting a negative portrayal of Theseus. The third chapter discusses how the wedding of Peleus …

Roman Isis And The Pendulum Of Tolerance In The Empire, D. Jasmine Merced-Ownbey
Roman Isis And The Pendulum Of Tolerance In The Empire, D. Jasmine Merced-Ownbey
Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal
This paper examines the evolution of Isis, ostensibly the "sacred mother," as a political tool in Egypt and (especially) in Rome. Through an analysis of primary and secondary source materials, it is established that Isis' treatment by Roman politicians represented a running discourse on the contemporary political relationship between Rome and Egypt, and, at times, on Rome's complex negotiation of foreign influences on its own society. Following the deaths of the first two Roman emperors, Isis was gradually elevated from the status of pariah to an acclaimed goddess within the Roman pantheon who was deemed worthy of beneficence and protection …

Dwelling, Walking, Serving: Organic Preservation Along The Camino De Santiago Pilgrimage Landscape, Mercedes Chamberlain Quesada-Embid
Antioch University Full-Text Dissertations & Theses
This study is an exploration of the people and the landscape of the well-known Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. Although there are many routes that make up the entirety of the pilgrimage, this research is specifically focused on the landscape of the Camino Francés, or French Route, in northern Spain. The path has been written about in many ways and for a myriad of reasons since it became affiliated with the Christian tradition in the early ninth century. This research, however, is different. By way of an environmental history and hermeneutic approach, an investigation of the interrelated and overlapping human …

Prometheus Bound And Contemporary Trends In Greek Natural Philosophy, Georgia L. Irby
Arts & Sciences Articles
Excerpt from the article: "The Prometheus bound is a lively testament to the Greek intellectual achievement of the sixth and fifth centuries B.C.E. In Aeschylus’ poetry one finds subtle reflections of the new learning and advances in both ethical and natural philosophy.1 For instance, Apollo’s defense of Orestes, that the mother is not even related to her children, but rather that the father provides the “seed” and the generative material, evinces the current state of medical theory and anticipates Aristotle’s efficient cause.2..."
