    Gr.-8°, Brosch. VIII, 246 S., mit 13 s/w-Abb. u. 3 Tab. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // Der Forschung geläufig ist die Rede von einer ersten (5./4. Jh. v. Chr.) und der sog. Zweiten Sophistik (2. Jh. n. Chr). Aber auch die Literatur des Hellenismus und der frühen Kaiserzeit kennt zahlreiche Sophisten. Der Sophist, verstanden als (schlechter) Lehrer und Redner, Gegenspieler des Philosophen oder Vertreter der griechischen Bildung, bildet deshalb den Dreh-und Angelpunkt der Beiträge, die Schlaglichter auf Orte, Methoden und Personen der Bildungsvermittlung werfen. Sophisten wirken im Gymnasion, im Museion in Alexandreia, in Tempeln in Rom oder privaten Schulen in Ägypten und Judäa. Der vorliegende Band diskutiert neben diesen Orten die Methoden der Bildungsvermittlung und die soziale Herkunft der Lehrer. Weitere wichtige Aspekte sind die Konkurrenz als strukturierendes Element des Lebens eines Sophisten und das Bankett als Ort der Bildungsvermittlung. Die Beiträge zeigen, wie pagane und jüdische Denker, Platoniker und Stoiker Bildung als Weg zum richtigen Welt- und Gottesverständnis verstehen. ISBN: 9783161545917 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 386.…

Such results are invaluable for our understanding of why, and how, Epicurus thought that his teaching can be efficacious and therapeutic. Ancient philosophers developed a rich toolbox to better reach, teach, and affect their addressees or, indeed, practitioners, using fiction, letter-writing, mnemotechnic, or orality. This book analyses how Epicurus (3rd century BCE), the philosopher of pleasure par excellence, did just that: impacting his readers to make them happy. This item is printed on demand.

Each chapter is dedicated to one of these texts and subdivided into two main sections. In the first section, close readings and textual interpretations with aphilosophical focus build a heuristic analysis of Epicurus' conception of what human beings are and do. In the second section, lexical analysis and a review of person deixis offer a text-centred counterpart. Together, they delineate the human beings as they are portrayed (theoretically) and addressed (linguistically) in Epicurus' written philosophy.In the case of the chapters on the Letter to Pythocles and the Kuriai Doxai, additional attention is paidto the problem of their authenticity by focusing on the production, structure, and function of those texts, which prove essential in assessing their form and content. A final appendix applies the same methodology to theLetter to Mother, found in Diogenes of Oenoanda's monumental inscription.This study yields important insights into the pragmatics of Epicurus' writings, especially with respect to their use, their format, and their functioning in one's efforts to become and remain untroubled. Such results are invaluable for our understanding of why, and how, Epicurus thought that his teaching can be efficacious and therapeutic. Ancient philosophers developed a rich toolbox to better reach, teach, and affect their addressees or, indeed, practitioners, using fiction, letter-writing, mnemotechnic, or orality. This book analyses how Epicurus (3rd century BCE), the philosopher of pleasure par excellence, did just that: impacting his readers to make them happy. This item is printed on demand.
