Cosmic Periods In The Philosophy Of Empedocles, Edwin L. Minar Jr.

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

The highest human types or "lives", which one may go through before attaining the divinity and immortality of fr. 147, are those of benefactors of their fellow man: "and finally they come as seers and bards and physicians and leaders among men on earth.1133 The humanistic motive that led Empedocles to see as the ruling forces in nature Love and Strife, which are most familiar to us as forces in the life of man, is also the leading spirit of his physical philosophy.

Body And Soul In The Philosophy Of Plotinus, Audrey N. M. Rich

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

How did Plotinus conceive of the relation existing between the human soul and the human body? Plato did not give the impression of being vitally concerned about this question. Although Plotinus professes to be a follower of Plato, he is much more profoundly influenced in this instance by Aristotle. Besides owing much to Aristotle, Plotinus' account of sensation, pleasure and pain, and the emotions in general clearly shows the influence of the medical theories of Galen.

Plotinus' belief in reincarnation shows the more Platonic strain in his approach to the body-soul problem.

Xenophanes And The Axiomatization Of The God-Concept, Harald A.T. Reiche

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Inasmuch as Xenophanes rests his axiomatization of the god-concept on the logic of "likeness" (prepein), implicit in the Greek correlation of arete and time, he rests his case for an idealistic, nomomorphic revision of theology and human society on a correspondence-theory of truth, whose referent is periodically verifiable as superlatively powerful and universally binding.

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

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.

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 …

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

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.

Some Active Techniques Of Whole Functioning, William Moyer Swartley

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The following 18 best described as a comparative survey. It was written in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the American Academy of Asian Studies, a graduate school of the College of the Pacific. Since Its formation 1n 1951, the Academy has sponsored an almost unique approach to Asian Studies.
