Abstract:
This chapter provides an overview of Aristotle’s understanding of animal nature, drawing on his zoological treatises as well as his writings on the soul and psychological faculties. Particular focus is given to his appreciation of the complex cognitive powers of animals and of their capacity for voluntary action. Aristotle’s views on animal behavior (ethology) are also discussed. While the chapter does not question Aristotle’s notorious denial of rationality to humans, it does show that he was alive to the signs of intelligence in animals. Animal mental capacities are, indeed, analogous to those of humans.

Abstract:
Aristotle's moral philosophy is a pillar of Western ethical thought. It bequeathed to the world an emphasis on virtues and vices, happiness as well-being or a life well lived, and rationally motivated action as a mean between extremes. Its influence was felt well beyond antiquity into the Middle Ages, particularly through the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. In the past century, with the rise of virtue theory in moral philosophy, Aristotle's ethics has been revived as a source of insight and interest. While most attention has traditionally focused on Aristotle's famous Nicomachean Ethics, there are several other works written by or attributed to Aristotle that illuminate his ethics: the Eudemian Ethics, the Magna Moralia, and Virtues and Vices. This book brings together all four of these important texts, in thoroughly revised versions of the translations found in the authoritative complete works universally recognized as the standard English edition. Edited and introduced by two of the world's leading scholars of ancient philosophy, this is an essential volume for anyone interested in the ethical thought of one of the most important philosophers in the Western tradition.

Abstract:
The applications of the science of psychology to our understanding of the origins and nature of art is not a recent phenomenon; in fact, it is as old as the Greeks. Plato wrote of art not only from the standpoint of metaphysics, but also in terms of the psychic, especially emotional, dangers that art posed to individuals and society. It was Plato's psychology of art that resulted in his famous requirements in The Republic for social control of the forms and contents of art. Aristotle, on the other hand, approached the arts as philosopher more comfortably at home in experiencing the arts; his writings are to that extent more dispassionately descriptive of the psychological features he viewed as universal in what we would call ‘aesthetic experience’. Although Plato and Aristotle both described the arts in terms of generalizations implicitly applicable to all cultures, it was Aristotle who most self-consciously tied his art theory to a general psychology.

Abstract:
Chapter 6 proceeds via a critical review of recent writings about jealousy in philosophy and psychology. Although Aristotle himself did not explore this emotion, it is easily amenable to an Aristotle-style analysis. It turns out, however, that although Aristotelian conceptual and moral arguments about the necessary conceptual features of jealousy qua specific emotion, and the intrinsic value or disvalue of a stable trait of jealousy for eudaimonia, do carry philosophical mileage, they may fail to cut ice with psychologists who tend to focus on jealousy as a broad dimension of temperament. The chapter reveals a disconcerting lack of cross-disciplinary work on jealousy: the sort of work that has moved the discourse on various other emotions forward in recent years. It explains how the best way to ameliorate this lacuna is, precisely, through an Aristotelian analysis, where jealousy is (perhaps counter-intuitively) accorded a place as a potentially virtuous emotion.

Abstract:
Fifteen leading philosophers explore a set of themes from the pioneering work of Gail Fine and Terence Irwin, in ancient philosophy but also in later periods and in systematic philosophy. The contributors discuss knowledge, rhetoric, freedom and practical reason, virtue and the good life, ethics and politics in Plato and Aristotle and beyond. The editors offer an introduction charting the scholarly contributions of Fine and Irwin and assessing their individual and joint impact, together with a complete bibliography of their writings. This volume is a token of our immense gratitude to Gail Fine and Terry Irwin for the benefit we have derived from their penetrating scholarly work. Through their writing, their teaching, their mentoring, and their broader scholarly output, Gail Fine and Terry Irwin have reshaped the character of Ancient Philosophy as an academic discipline. Their contributions to the discipline do not, however, end there. On the contrary, their wide-ranging achievements extend into all periods of the history of philosophy and indeed into several areas more systematic than historical.

Chapter 2 presents a preliminary chronological overview of the major figures discussed in the work. The major topics of subsequent chapters are arranged thematically, ranging from Jewish philosophy’s earliest awakening in the Hellenistic era with the Greek writings of Philo of Alexandria and its flourishing in the medieval period, to its culmination in the seventeenth century with the radical thought of Baruch Spinoza. The role of Neoplatonism is examined as well as the influences of the Neoplatonists, John Philoponus, Aristotle, the Kalâm theologians, and the Islamic philosophers. The chapter emphasizes the interaction between Jewish thinkers and their intellectual peers.

Abstract:
Francis Bacon is famous today as one of the founding fathers of the so-called ‘scientific revolution’ of the seventeenth century. Although not an especially successful scientist himself, he was nevertheless the most eloquent and influential spokesperson for an approach to knowledge that promised to transform human understanding of both humanity and its relationship with the natural and social worlds. The central features of this approach, as they emerged in Bacon’s own writings and the work of his protégés and associates after 1605, are equally well known. They include the importance of experiment, observation, and a sceptical attitude towards inherited wisdom (from the ‘ancients’ in general and Aristotle in particular).

Abstract:
European scholastic medicine, the primary form of medieval medicine, was distinct from that of antiquity, despite its thorough-going Galenism. This article looks more closely at the scholarship that has made this re-evaluation possible. The practical dimension of scholastic medicine — as evident in the resolution of conflicts between Galen and Aristotle as in discussions of specific drugs — has been fully revealed in this newer historiography. It discusses medicine as essentially a verbal and gestural performance that aims to leave patients ‘satisfied’ and the answer to these questions comes from the theoretical writings that are the main material deposit of all the rhetoric and from adopting the patient's perspective. The principal achievements thus far of the historiography of medieval medicine have been to assess many of the main texts on their own terms, avoiding reference to biomedicine, and giving the texts first an intellectual context and then, more recently, a social one.

Full text
Abstract:
“The psychoanalyst is a sign of the presence of the sophist in our time, but with a different status.” The surprising confluence of Lacanian psychoanalysis and the texts of the Ancient Greek sophists in Jacques the Sophist: Lacan, Logos, and Psychoanalysis becomes a springboard for Barbara Cassin’s highly original re-reading of the writings and seminars of Jacques Lacan. Sophistry, since Plato and Aristotle, has been represented as philosophy’s negative alter ego, its bad other, and this allows her to draw out the “sophistic” elements of Lacan’s own language or how, as she puts it, Lacan “philosophistises”. What both sophists and Lacan have in common is that they radically challenge the very foundations of scientific rationality, and of the relationship of meaning to language, which is shown to operate performatively, at the level of the signifier, and to distance itself from the primacy of truth in philosophy. Our time is said to be the time of the subject of the unconscious, bound to the sexual relationship which does not exist, by contrast with the Greek political animal. As Cassin demonstrates, in a remarkable tour de force, this can be expressed variously in terms of discourse as a social link that has to be negotiated between medicine and politics, between sense and non-sense, between mastery and jouissance. Published originally in French in 2012, Cassin’s book is translated into English for the first time by Michael Syrotinski and includes his translator’s notes, commentary, and index.

Full text
Abstract:
The roots of modern culture lie in ancient soil. On this fertile ground grew a two-sided tradition, a dialectical relation between the legacies of ancient Greek civilization on the one hand and theological perspectives based on the Jewish and Christian scriptures on the other. Later periods—the late antique, medieval, and early modern—attest to the fact that, despite essential differences, Greek philosophy and biblical interpretation formed a lasting cultural synthesis. Part of what made this synthesis possible was a shared outlook, a common aspiration toward wholeness of understanding that refused to separate knowledge from goodness, virtue from happiness, cosmos from polis, divine authority from human responsibility. As that which names this wholeness, wisdom features prominently in both classical and biblical literatures as an ultimate good. In its traditional form, wisdom was understood to govern a variety of endeavors. It was a program for human flourishing that accorded with a holistic understanding of reality in its metaphysical, cosmic, political, and personal dimensions. This book explores wisdom and the way it was presented in seminal works: in Greek texts, such as the epics of Homer and the writings of Plato and Aristotle, and in biblical books as well, including Genesis, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job, Wisdom of Solomon, the Gospels, and the letters of Paul. In doing so, it aims to illuminate the modern legacy of classical and biblical tradition and its distinctive pursuit of wisdom.

Full text
Abstract:
Montaigne is often celebrated as an analyst of embodied selves and their uncivilized and civilizing ways; this article focuses on the significance of emotion, specifically love, as much as embodiment, in the distinctive relationships in Montaigne’s writing between knowledge and understanding and between ethics and epistemology. He gives more weight to ancient sources, such as Plato and Aristotle, than to influential Renaissance discourses, such as Neoplatonism; but his understanding of the connections between loving, being loved, knowledge, self-knowledge, and living well seems to have been decisively shaped by his own experience of the love and loss of Étienne de la Boétie. His version of the ancient “paradoxical command” to know and love self puts the relationship between self and other at the heart of his inquiries, passions, and writing, and encompasses a paradoxically creative narcissism as the grounds for both curiosity about, and ethical recognition of, others.

Abstract:
This chapter sketches the evolution of writing on sex difference in Latin, Arabic, and Hebrew scholarship between the sixth and the late fifteenth centuries, focusing on natural philosophy and, especially, medical theory. It stresses the strong continuities in this textual tradition, which was based on the works of a small group of Greek authorities, of whom the most influential were Aristotle and Galen. At the same time, it describes differences in content and emphasis that resulted from the social orders, institutions, and faiths—Christianity, Islam, and Judaism—that shaped the viewpoints of the authors that contributed to it. The resulting narrative challenges accounts that reduce the variety and complexity of this story by invoking simplistic and misleading doctrines such as the “one-sex” body.

Full text
Abstract:
Robert Kilwardby is a central figure in late medieval philosophy and theology, but key areas of his thought have until now remained unexamined in a systematic way. Kilwardby taught Arts at the University of Paris and Theology at the University of Oxford around the mid thirteenth century. He is among the first in the Latin West to comment on the newly translated works of Aristotle and among the first Dominicans to comment on the Sentences of Peter Lombard at Oxford. Writing at that time, Kilwardby is both witness and actor in the emerging conflict between the traditions of Augustinianism and the new Aristotelianism. By offering a comprehensive overview of his works, ranging from topics in logic to theology, this book shows the development of those disciplines and traditions in a way that is accessible to nonspecialists and to anyone interested in medieval thought.

Full text
Abstract:
Paying careful attention to his use of language, this chapter introduces Albert the Great’s contribution to natural rights into the scholarly debate between subjective and objective rights. Teacher of Thomas Aquinas, Albert’s work on ius naturale has been overshadowed in many aspects by the significance and impact of his student’s. However, Albert’s early appearance on the stage of empirical sciences as a student of nature has been widely recognized. Eclectic in his use of sources, Albert would generously use Stoic writings, and would become as well a first-rate commentator of Aristotle’s works. As a theologian, Albert’s Augustinian influences cannot be neglected. The text examined here, De bono (1242), constitutes an early and thorough elaboration of an original doctrine of natural right and, importantly, of natural rights.

Abstract:
This volume provides a representative overview of philosophical work on virtue. It is divided into seven parts: conceptualizations of virtue, historical and religious accounts, contemporary virtue ethics and theories of virtue, central concepts and issues, critical examinations, applied virtue ethics, and virtue epistemology. Forty-two chapters by distinguished contributors offer insights and directions for further research. The volume is unique in bringing together work on virtue ethics and virtue epistemology, thereby providing an overview of the most recent thinking on virtue in the field of philosophy. It explores writing on virtue in the work of western historical figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Hume, Nietzsche, Kant, and the utilitarians, and includes chapters on Islamic, Christian, Buddhist, and Confucian and Neo-Confucian approaches to virtue ethics. Chapters on neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics and alternatives to it, such as sentimentalism, are also included, as well as work in applied virtue ethics in areas such as medical ethics, business ethics, environmentalism, jurisprudence, sexual ethics, and communication ethics. Objections to virtue ethics and central virtue ethical themes, such as motivation, are also addressed. Chapters on key virtue epistemological themes are also featured in the volume, and a nod toward the emerging field of applied virtue epistemology is given.

Abstract:
Chandieu was as much at home in following Aristotle’s Analytics for his scholastically formulated theology as he was in writing some fifty stanzas of eight-line poems (Octonnaires de la vanité du monde) on the vanity and disquiet of this world. He chose to use scholastic method to respond to opponents of the Reformed churches, to train students for the ministry in the Reformed churches, and to make his arguments transparent for readers who could test whether they were rooted in Scripture. As the “silver horn” in between Calvin and Beza, Chandieu sounded a clear note for the Reformed and added to the picture of the Reformed faith as something academically respectable and defensible. Agreeing with Olivier Fatio, we may call Chandieu “one of the fathers of Reformed scholasticism.” His important place in the history of theology and philosophy within the Reformed academies can now be properly appreciated and further studied.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the state of Israeli theatre today, seventy-two years since the production of Racine’s Phaedra at Habima Theatre, and sums up its notable achievements, and the myriad forms, styles, artists, and institutions that together provide fertile ground for Israeli theatre’s encounters with classical drama. An overview of the seventy-two years of reception of Greek tragedy in Israeli theatre (1945–2017) demonstrates clearly that the most important development appears to be that local theatre makers have relinquished previous preconceived ideas about classical Greek drama and performance and of Aristotle’s theatrical doctrine, in favour of personal reading, study, research, and decoding of the classical works. It also presents the young and talented artists that are bringing the results of their studies and experimentations to the translation, writing, directing, and acting of classical drama to the Israeli stage, and using that drama to deliver innovative and challenging productions for today’s audiences.

Abstract:
This volume consists of 28 specially commissioned essays. It begins with a synoptic introduction. There are then 3 chapters setting the scene (one on Plato in his place and time, one on the Platonic corpus, and one on Plato and his ways of writing). There are then 11 chapters that are devoted to individual dialogues, ranging from his earliest through his latest. The dialogues discussed include Apology, Crito, and Euthyphro: Protagoras and Gorgias; Meno; Phaedo; Republic; Parmenides; Theaetetus; Timaeus; Sophist; Philebus; and Laws. The next 11 chapters focus on topics across a range of dialogues. These chapters include discussion of Socrates’s epistemology and metaphysics, and of his ethics and moral psychology; of Plato’s epistemology, metaphysics, and philosophy of language; and of Plato on the soul, on ethics, on love, on politics, on education and art, and on theology. The volume closes with a chapter on Aristotle’s criticism of Plato, and one on Plato and Platonism.

Full text
Abstract:
Christians in Conversation: A Guide to Late Antique Dialogues in Greek and Syriac deals with a particular form of writing by Christians in late antiquity, the prose dialogue. To study late antique dialogues means to recognize that the dialogue form, notably employed by Plato and Aristotle, did not exhaust itself with the philosophical schools of Classical and Hellenistic Greece, but emerged transformed and reinvigorated in the religiously diverse world of late antiquity. The Christians’ use of the dialogue form within religious debate resulted in a burgeoning activity of composition of prose dialogues, which often opposed a Christian and a Jew, a Christian and a pagan, a Christian and a Manichaean, an Orthodox and a heretic, or, later, a Christian and a Muslim. The present work offers the first comprehensive analysis of Christian dialogues in Greek and in Syriac from the earliest examples in the second century up to the end of the sixth century. It shows that several Christian authors chose the dialogue form to convey fundamental theological views, and argues that dialogues were intended as tools of opinion formation in late antique society, thus opening up this vast strand of literature to the interests of the cultural and intellectual historians. Most Christian dialogues are little studied, and often in isolation, but they vividly evoke the religious debates of the time, and embody the cultural conventions and refinements that late antique men and women expected from such debates.
