Aristotle On Knowledge, Nous And The Problems Of Necessary Truth, Thomas Kiefer
Aristotle On Knowledge, Nous And The Problems Of Necessary Truth, Thomas Kiefer
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
In this paper, I argue that nous for Aristotle concerns necessary truths. (1) Nous is the solution to the dilemma raised in Posterior Analytics I.3. (2) Knowledge and nous have necessary truths as their subject matter, and are identical to this subject matter. (3) This position creates two problems concerning (i) the innateness of knowledge and nous, and (ii) the mind-dependency of necessary truths. (4) The end of DA III.5 reveals an attempt to solve (i) and (ii): The necessary truths of knowledge and nous are for us innate in a certain way, appear to come to be and pass …

Historians On Alexander The Great And Macedonian Imperialism, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
Historians On Alexander The Great And Macedonian Imperialism, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
Kyriakos N. Demetriou
The history of classical scholarship abounds with examples of metaphors that function as organic links between past and present. As vehicles for contemporary emulation or allies of particular moral and political ideologies, interpretations of ancient life have mirrored the anxieties and controversies of their times. Alexander the Great has been a prominent figure in such historically contextualized interpretations. A comparative study of the reception of this legendary hero by two leading nineteenth-century historians, George Grote and Konstantinos Paparrigopoulos, provides a platform for reflecting on the influence that different versions of Hellenism have had on the construction of historical narratives. Two …
Oh Brother! The Fraternity Of Rhetoric And Philosophy In Plato's Gorgias, Roslyn Weiss
Oh Brother! The Fraternity Of Rhetoric And Philosophy In Plato's Gorgias, Roslyn Weiss
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Brothers abound in the Gorgias, as do types of fraternal relations. I look for that form of fraternity in the Gorgias that Plato means to serve as a model or paradigm for the ideal relationship between rhetoric and philosophy. The Gorgias acknowledges deficiency not only in rhetoric but in philosophy as well, and recognizes merit in both rhetoric and philosophy, so that there is potential for the two to complement one another and when they do, to be of real benefit.
Philosophy As Liturgical Action: An Essay On Plato's Politics, Gene Fendt
Philosophy As Liturgical Action: An Essay On Plato's Politics, Gene Fendt
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Plato teaches that the arche and telos of politics is liturgical action. No 'purely secular' foundation of a polis is possible. Politics necessarily opens beyond itself and is therefore subject to theological critique and theotic fulfillment (or not). The Republic teaches about the primacy of the liturgical; in the Laws Plato presents the proper liturgical act for human beings.
Abstracting Aristotle’S Philosophy Of Mathematics, John J. Cleary
Abstracting Aristotle’S Philosophy Of Mathematics, John J. Cleary
Research Resources
In the history of science perhaps the most influential Aristotelian division was that
between mathematics and physics. From our modern perspective this seems like an unfortunate deviation from the Platonic unification of the two disciplines, which guided Kepler and Galileo towards the modern scientific revolution. By contrast, Aristotle’s sharp distinction between the disciplines seems to have led to a barren scholasticism in physics, together with an arid instrumentalism in Ptolemaic astronomy. On the positive side, however, astronomy was liberated from commonsense realism for the conceptual experiments of Aristarchus of Samos, whose heliocentric hypothesis was not adopted by later astronomers because …
Candidates For Aristotle's Natural Slaves, D. Brendan Nagle
Candidates For Aristotle's Natural Slaves, D. Brendan Nagle
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
The aim of this paper is to identify empirically potential candidates for natural slaves among the vast number of coerced workers in the ancient world, barbarian and Greek alike.
Socratic Perfectionism Ii, George Rudebusch
Socratic Perfectionism Ii, George Rudebusch
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
This paper is part two of an argument that Socrates is an agent-neutral perfectionist (like J. S. Mill) rather than an agent-relative perfectionist (e.g. in Crime and Punishment, the egoist Raskolnikov and the altruist Sophie). The argument is based on Plato's Lysis.
