  • Aristotelian material in Cicero’s De natura deorum

    David J FurleyCHAPTERCicero's Knowledge of the Peripatos2020

    This chapter begins with some remarks about the setting of the dialogue of Cicero. The conversation takes place when Cicero takes up an invitation to visit Gaius Cotta at his home on the day of the Latin Festival. He finds a conversation already under way between Cotta, and two other friends: Senator Gaius Velleius, and Quintus Lucilius Balbus. Cicero remarks that he has had the luck to find representatives of three schools of philosophy and only…

  • Aristotle's "Rhetoric": Philosophical Essays

    David J Furley, Alexander NehamasBOOKAristotle's Rhetoric2015

    In the field of philosophy, Plato's view of rhetoric as a potentially treacherous craft has long overshadowed Aristotle's view, which focuses on rhetoric as an independent discipline that relates in complex ways to dialectic and logic and to ethics and moral psychology. This volume, composed of essays by international philosophers and classicists, provides an extensive examination of Aristotle's Rhetoric and its subject matter. One aim is to loca…

  • What Kind of Cause is Aristotle‘s Final Cause?

    David Furley, David J FurleyCHAPTERRationality in Greek thought1996

    Anaxagoras says it is because Man has hands that he is the most intelligent of the animals. But the right account is that he got hands because he is the most intelligent. For hands are a tool; and nature, just like an intelligent man, allots each tool to one who can make use of it. (Aristotle, de Partibus Animalium 4. ro. 687a6-II)This fault we urgently desire you to avoid, this error to shun with fearful care. Do not take the bright shining eyes…
