The Problem Of Anaxagoras, Margaret Reesor Dec 1960

The Problem Of Anaxagoras, Margaret Reesor

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Anaxagoras held that the objects of sense perception, both entities and qualities, were existents, and not relative to the percipient, and that they formed a continuum which observed the criteria of Parmenides' being. Birth, dissolution, growth and change of quality were explained in terms of combination and separation. the opposites were inseparable and infinite in degree, and the parts of the spectrum were one. the opposites were used to account for sense perception as well as for pleasure and pain. Since animals and plants are all product of the same natural process, they are essentially alike. Man lives in a …


The Two States In Plato's Republic, Martin Ostwald Dec 1960

The Two States In Plato's Republic, Martin Ostwald

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Unlike the state of the Guardians which remains "set up as a model in heaven," there is, in Plato's view in the Republic, the faint hope that the state of the Philosopher may be possible.


Reason And Eros In The Ascent Passage Of The Symposium, Julius M.E. Moravcsik Dec 1960

Reason And Eros In The Ascent Passage Of The Symposium, Julius M.E. Moravcsik

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

The purpose of this paper is limited to examining the roles which reason and eros play in the ascent, and to deal with some related ontological issues. The final vision is not an act of integration and coordination, but the intuiting of an entity not comprehended previously.

Plato's Political Philosophy (Abstract), Ludwig Edelstein Dec 1959

Plato's Political Philosophy (Abstract), Ludwig Edelstein

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Plato had one consistent theory of politics; the Republic, Politicus, and Laws form a unity, complementary rather than contradictory. These dialogues are all theoretical, none provides a blueprint for political action. Political theory establishes the standard by which we must judge and thus allows us to act according to an aim.


Judgment And Thought In The Theaetetus, Thomas G. Rosenmeyer Dec 1959

Judgment And Thought In The Theaetetus, Thomas G. Rosenmeyer

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Translators have rendered doxa as "opinion", "belief", and "judgment", among other renderings. All three translations are subject to criticism. We analyze doxa as prompted by a present perception or by a past perception registered and resuscitated. There is also a doxa prompted by a Form, or complex of Forms.

Panpsychism And Immortality In Empedocles, Charles H. Kahn Dec 1958

Panpsychism And Immortality In Empedocles, Charles H. Kahn

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

The general position of Empedocles in the matter of consciousness may be described as a rigorous panpsychism. In this view there is really no such thing as inanimate nature. It is the physis or composition of our body which accounts for, if it is not identical with, our psychic character and thought. At the same time, he distinguishes the wandering daimon from the four physical elements. The realm from which he has been banished can only be that of Love. Far from contradicting the physical poem, the doctrine of reincarnation and release constitutes its logical sequel, the coping-stone which completes …


Plato's Hypothesis And The Upward Path, Thomas G. Rosenmeyer Nov 1958

Plato's Hypothesis And The Upward Path, Thomas G. Rosenmeyer

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

In this paper I shall attempt to show that Aristotle's logical terminology, ontologically conditioned or determined as it obviously is, contrasts with that of Plato, who, on the whole, with perhaps one exception, was very careful not to introduce unwarranted ontological perspectives into matters of logic.

Ancient Philosophy At Salerno In The Twelfth Century, Paul Oskar Kristeller Jan 1958

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Examination of medical manuscripts from 12th and 13th century Salerno demonstrates strong influence of Aristotle on medieval Western thought.


The Functionalism And Dynamism Of Aristotle, John Herman Randall Jr. Jan 1958

The Functionalism And Dynamism Of Aristotle, John Herman Randall Jr.

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

It is the contention of this paper that Aristotle's thought is relevant and suggestive for two of the most important present-day philosophical movements, the concern with language, and the concern with natural processes and their analysis. Aristotle can be viewed today as the outstanding functionalist of the Western tradition. Aristotle's philosophy is more than important, it is true.


Parmenides On Names (B 8.34-41), Leonard Woodbury Dec 1957

Parmenides On Names (B 8.34-41), Leonard Woodbury

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Thinking can take only one form ("it-is"), because thinking of this kind and that- which-is are inseparable (and so thinking can never be found ’’with" anything else, nor in any other form than "it-is"), This is because (there cannot be anything else, "with" which thinking might be found, since) that-which-is is unique, being necessarily whole and unmoved. The argument moves from thinking to that-which-is. It asks why thinking can take only one form and answers that the necessity of being, which makes that-which—is unique, does not permit an alternative. It is evident that Parmenides finds in being a limitation upon …

A Zenonian Argument Against Plurality, Gregory Vlastos Jan 1957

A Zenonian Argument Against Plurality, Gregory Vlastos

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

The two surviving fragments of this argument make up between them some 75% of all that has come down to us of Zeno's original treatise. On this one ground, if on no other, they have a high claim on the attention of anyone interested in becoming acquainted with the authentic Zeno. The problems they present are great but, one may hope, not insuperable.

Plato's Sophist 251-259, John L. Ackrill Dec 1955

Plato's Sophist 251-259, John L. Ackrill

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

The question I wish to raise is this. Is it correct to say that one of Plato’s achievements in this passage is the ‘discovery of the copula’, or the ‘recognition of ambiguity of ἔστιν’ as used on the one hand in statements of identity and on the other hand in attributive statements? I feel little doubt that it is correct to say this, but Cornford and Robinson (to mention no others) deny it. After a remark on the question itself I shall try state briefly a case for answering it affirmatively, and shall then consider some of the counter-arguments that …
