  • De la ‘nature phantastique’ des animaux chez les Stoïciens

    Jean‐Louis Labarrière, Jacques Brunschwig et al.CHAPTERPassions and Perceptions2009

    ‘Si nous voulons apprendre ce qu'est l'homme, nous devrons savoir d'abord ce qu'est l'animal.’ Sextus Empiricus, AM viii. 87 Quiconque s'en va séjourner quelque temps du côté des Stoïciens apprend bien vite que, selon eux, les hommes, dans leur quête du bien, se sont tout d'abord, comme les animaux, laissés conduire par leur inclination ( hormē ) à rechercher le premier approprié ( to prōton oikeion ), à savoir ce qui est susceptible de préserver…

  • Annicéris et les plaisirs psychiques. quelques préalables doxographiques

    André Laks, Jacques Brunschwig et al.CHAPTERPassions and Perceptions2009

    LE PROBLÈME Les témoignages doxographiques transmis sous le nom d'un mouvement philosophique, et non sous celui d'un auteur particulier, soulèvent souvent de difficiles problèmes d'attribution, d'autant plus délicats à trancher que nous possédons moins de repères indépendants, dans l'histoire de l'école, par rapport auxquels les situer. Le cas des Cyrénaïques est à cet égard exemplaire. Les données sont le plus souvent présentées comme un bien co…

  • Seneca and psychological dualism

    Jacques Brunschwig, Martha C NussbaumCHAPTERPassions and Perceptions2009

    Seneca's ‘philosophy of mind’ presents us with many puzzles, but in this it is no more than a faithful mirror of his philosophy as a whole. In this paper I am interested in how his views on the structure and operations of the human soul relate to those of so-called orthodox Stoics, and how one goes about assessing such an issue. That Seneca is not a slavish or unimaginative representative of Chrysippean Stoicism seems clear from the most casual r…

  • Democritus and Epicurus on sensible qualities

    Jacques Brunschwig, Martha C NussbaumCHAPTERPassions and Perceptions2009

    The puzzle that provoked this study lies in the apparent difference between Democritus and Epicurus about the value of sense-perception. Epicurus took over the atomic theory from Democritus; he gave the same account, in essence, of the mechanics of sense-perception. Yet Democritus is said by many sources to have been sceptical about the ability of the senses to reveal truth, whereas Epicurus is said to have declared that ‘all aisthēta are true’.

  • Seneca on reason, rules, and moral development

    Jacques Brunschwig, Martha C NussbaumCHAPTERPassions and Perceptions2009

    Diogenes Laertius reports that Zeno was the first to introduce the word ‘kathēkon’ and to write a treatise on the topic. He also suggests that, in connection with these reflections on kathēkonta, Zeno reversed Hesiod's well-known tag about the value of following good advice relative to that of knowing things for ourselves. According to Zeno

  • Poetry and the passions

    Jacques Brunschwig, Martha C NussbaumCHAPTERPassions and Perceptions2009

    The spectator of the dramatic theatre says: ‘Yes. I have felt the same. I am just like this. This is only natural. It will always be like this... I am weeping with those who weep on the stage, laughing with those who laugh.’ The spectator of the epic theatre says: ‘I should never have thought so. That is not the way to do it. This is most surprising, hardly credible. This will have to stop... I am laughing about those who weep on the stage, weepi…

  • Chrysippus on psychophysical causality

    Jacques Brunschwig, Martha C NussbaumCHAPTERPassions and Perceptions2009

    This chapter will in effect be an extended commentary on a single passage, Cicero, de Fato 7–9, which indirectly attributes to Chrysippus a strong thesis of psychophysical causality. I shall hope to show what that thesis amounts to, and how it fits into the teleological structure of the Stoic causal nexus. At the same time, I shall be offering reasons for seeing the Stoic theory in question as largely a development of Platonic psychology.

  • Actions and passions

    Jacques Brunschwig, Martha C NussbaumCHAPTERPassions and Perceptions2009

    Galen is remembered mainly as a doctor; and it is on his fame as a medical theorist and practitioner that his reputation principally rests. Yet he was no mere physician; he thought of himself as equally a philosopher, and if the tradition has been less kind to his strictly philosophical works than to his medical writings (here as elsewhere interest has to a large extent dictated survival), none the less enough of his philosophical temper shines t…

  • Goldschmidt and Gueroult

    Jacques BrunschwigARTICLEArchiv für Geschichte der…2006

    Martial Gueroult (1891–1976) and Victor Goldschmidt (1914–1981) are two major figures in French history of philosophy during the second half of the last century. The latter has often been described as one of the former's “disciples”, on the basis of their common opposition to the “geneticist” approach in the study of past philosophers, and their common support for a “structuralist” one, which was an influential paradigm in various fields of Frenc…

  • On Generation and Corruption I. r

    Jacques BrunschwigCHAPTERAristotle2004

    The first chapter of an Aristotelian treatise is usually easier to read and to understand than the fo11owing ones. At first sight, GC L I looks like a standard Aristotelian introduction: according to a well-entrenched method of exposition, Aristotle first briefly lists the theoretical problems which he plans to deal with (314a1-6); then he introduces the discussion of these problems by way of a critical account of the views of his predecessors ab…

  • The Cambridge Companion to Greek and Roman Philosophy

    Open AccessD N Sedley, Jonathan Barnes et al.BOOKThe Cambridge companion to Greek…2003

    The Cambridge Companion to Greek and Roman Philosophy is a wide-ranging 2003 introduction to the study of philosophy in the ancient world. A team of leading specialists surveys the developments of the period and evaluates a comprehensive series of major thinkers, ranging from Pythagoras to Epicurus. There are also separate chapters on how philosophy in the ancient world interacted with religion, literature and science, and a final chapter traces …

  • Stoic Metaphysics

    Open AccessJacques BrunschwigCHAPTERCambridge Companion to the Stoics2003

    Is there a Stoic metaphysics? The answer obviously depends on what we mean by 'metaphysics', a word which no classical philosopher would have understood, despite its two Greek components and its familiarity as the title of the most famous of Aristotle's works. No matter what we might mean by 'meta-', in more than one sense the Stoics have no metaphysics: for them, no science comes 'after' physics (again, in whatever sense of 'after' you like); ne…

  • Hellenistic philosophy

    Open AccessJacques Brunschwig, David SedleyCHAPTERThe Cambridge Companion to Greek…2003

    The 'Hellenistic' age is a politically defined one, bounded at its beginning by the demise of Alexander the Great's empire (on his death in 323 BC) and at its end by Augustus' inauguration of the Roman empire, notionally in 27 BC. These three centuries were a time of major geo-political upheaval in the Greek-speaking world, due first to the growing power of eastern kingdoms and later to that of Rome.

  • The Cambridge Companion to the Stoics

    Open AccessDavid Sedley, Christopher Gill et al.BOOKCambridge Companion to the Stoics2003

    This unique volume offers an odyssey through the ideas of the Stoics in three particular ways: first, through the historical trajectory of the school itself and its influence; second, through the recovery of the history of Stoic thought; third, through the ongoing confrontation with Stoicism, showing how it refines philosophical traditions, challenges the imagination, and ultimately defines the kind of life one chooses to lead. A distinguished ro…

  • Fragment d'un discours d'une méthode

    Open AccessJacques BrunschwigARTICLEKriterion Revista de Filosofia2003

    Ce qui suit est le début de la présentation d'une sélection de mes articles, traduits en portugais, et supposés représentatifs de la "méthode" que j'ai pratiquée dans mes publications. J'y retrace en détail deux épisodes déjà anciens de "l'histoire de mon esprit" (si j'ose employer une expression de Descartes), qui ont fortement influencé mes travaux ultérieurs, en m'incitant à tout faire pour concilier le respect de la "lettre" avec le souci de …

  • Metaphysics A 9

    Jacques BrunschwigCHAPTERAristotle's Metaphysics Lambda2000

    A 9 is both quite famous and quite short. At first reading, it looks like a sort of appendix to A 7, separated from it by the excursus on astronomy in A 8. It is officially devoted to the discussion of ‘some difficulties’2 concerning ‘the questions about intellect’.3 However, because of the number of these difficulties, the structure of the chapter is often described as fairly disorderly.4 Indeed, many commentators think that Aristotle does not c…

  • The Cambridge History of Hellenistic Philosophy

    Open AccessTiziano Dorandi, D M Schenkeveld et al.BOOKThe Cambridge history of…1999

    A full account of the philosophy of the Greek and Roman worlds from the last days of Aristotle (c.320 BC) until 100 BC. Hellenistic philosophy, for long relatively neglected and unappreciated, has over the last decade been the object of a considerable amount of scholarly attention. Now available in paperback, this 1999 volume is a general reference work which pulls the subject together and presents an overview. The History is organised by subject…

  • Introduction

    Open AccessJacques BrunschwigCHAPTERThe Cambridge history of…1999

    It is generally agreed that the Hellenistic period is the great age of ancient epistemology. For a variety of reasons, many of which have nothing to do with the history of philosophy, the period is standardly deemed to start in 323 bc on the death of Alexander the Great. By a curious coincidence, two philosophers of signal and symbolic importance had connections with Alexander. The first is Aristotle, who had been tutor to the young Alexander and…

  • Rule and Exception

    Jacques BrunschwigCHAPTERRationality in Greek thought1996

    ‘For what is indeterminate, the rule (xαvώv) also is indeterminate (αóρiσπ o ζ). like the leaden rule used by the Lesbian masons: instead of being rigid, this rule bends and adapts itself to the shape of the stone’ (EN 5. 14. u37b29-32).

  • Les Seconds Analytiques, de fond en comble

    Jacques BrunschwigARTICLEPhronesis1996

    La bibliographie des Seconds Analytiques (ci-apr6s: APo) d'Aristote vient de s'enrichir, a quelques mois d'intervalle, de deux publications d'importance majeure: d'une part, la traduction allemande, accompagnee d'un enorme commentaire, que procure Wolfgang Detel' (ci-apres: D.); d'autre part, la seconde edition de la traduction anglaise, munie d'un commentaire nettement plus laconique, que propose Jonathan Barnes2 (ci-apres: B.). Aucun des deux a…
