  • The Cast of Characters

    A A LongCHAPTEROxford Handbook of Hellenistic…2025

    This chapter discusses the chronology and scope of Hellenistic philosophy, as embodied in its three major schools: the Garden, the Stoa, and the Academy. It situates these schools in their historical and social contexts and discusses some figures who had a special formative influence on them, including Pyrrho of Elis. It then introduces the most distinctive leaders and exponents of each of the three schools, offering biographical overviews of Epi…

  • Beyond xier

    Daniel Walter, A A LongARTICLEGender and Language2025Referencias: 3

    Neopronouns are new pronouns created to address perceived gaps in the standard pronoun system. In the German language, neopronouns have neither stabilized around norms of usage nor has any singular neopronoun risen to prominence over others. However, many sources available to educators and researchers in a US context have foregrounded the neopronoun xier based on a small number of resources. To address this possible misrepresentation in the curre…

    The human capacity to view the world objectively first came to light in the speculations of the early change “early” to “earliest” Greek cosmologists. How we understand that history changes because we change. It invites us, as post-Cartesians, to ask how we position ourselves both as subjective individuals and as physical participants in the world’s natural processes. Heraclitus is the key figure to study concerning the integration of these two p…

  • Selfhood and Rationality in Ancient Greek Philosophy

    A A LongBOOKSelfhood and Rationality in…2022Referencias: 9

    This book is a collection of fourteen essays on the themes of selfhood and rationality in ancient Greek philosophy. The discussion ranges over seven centuries of innovative thought, starting with Heraclitus' injunction to listen to the cosmic logos, and concluding with Plotinus' criticism of those who make embodiment essential to human identity. For the Greek philosophers the notion of a rational self was bound up with questions about divinity an…

  • Antiquity Revisited

    Open AccessA A Long, Despina VertzagiaARTICLEConatus2020

    A discussion on antiquity with Anthony A. Long, one of the most distinguished scholars in the field of ancient philosophy, would be engaging in any case. All the more so, since his two recently published works, Greek Models of Mind and Self (2015) and How to be Free: An Ancient Guide to the Stoic Life (2018), provide the opportunity to revisit key issues of ancient philosophy. The former is a lively and challenging work that starts with the Homer…

  • Theophrastus and the Stoa 1

    A A LongCHAPTERTheophrastus2020

    This chapter presents a case that provides interaction between the Zenonian Stoa and Theophrastus, and his positive influence on Stoicism in its earliest years, were probably minimal. It attempts to motivate the case by considerations which concern the Stoa rather than Theophrastus. The Hellenistic schools where Socrates was thoroughly at home during Theophrastus’ later life were the newly established Stoa and the Academy. To judge by the titles …

  • Aëtius, Stoic Physics, and Zeno

    A A LongCHAPTERAëtiana IV2018

    The purpose of this paper is a comparative assessment of Aëtius’s treatment of Stoic physics, focusing on a selection of his lemmata concerning central doctrines of the school. After outlining the general scope of his Stoic doxography and comparing it with material in Diogenes Laertius and Arius Didymus, I turn to Aëtius’s accounts of Stoic cosmology and theology. The accuracy of his detailed report on the attributes of Stoic god is confirmed by …

  • Arius Didymus and the Exposition of Stoic Ethics

    A A LongCHAPTEROn Stoic and Peripatetic Ethics2017

    In this chapter, the author assumes that Arius is the main source for both ethical sections in Stobaeus, together with the preliminary material, and he will suggest a hypothesis to reconcile the discrepancies without abandoning Arius or carving him up into two or more people. Any methodological contribution of his own is likely to have consisted in the framework he adopts for presenting the first part of his Stoic section. For that, as will be se…

  • Greek Models of Mind and Self

    A A LongBOOKGreek Models of Mind and Self2015

    A. A. Long's study of Greek notions of mind and human selfhood is anchored in questions of universal interest. What happens to us when we die? How is the mind or soul related to the body? Are we responsible for our own happiness? Can we achieve autonomy? Long shows that Greek thinkers' modeling of the mind gave us metaphors that we still live by.

    Michael Frede, A A LongBOOKA free will2011

    Where does the notion of free will come from? How and when did it develop, and what did that development involve? In this book's account of the history of this idea, the notion of a free will emerged from powerful assumptions about the relation between divine providence, correctness of individual choice, and self-enslavement due to incorrect choice. Anchoring the discussion in Stoicism, the book begins with Aristotle—who, it argues, had no notion…
