Ancient and Medieval Concepts of Friendship
Charts the stages of the history of friendship as a philosophical concept in the Western world. Focusing on Plato and Aristotle, the Stoics and Epicureans, and early Christian and Medieval sources, Ancient and Medieval Concepts of Friendship brings together assessments of different philosophical accounts of friendship. This volume sketches the evolution of the concept from ancient ideals of friendship applying strictly to relationships between me…

Hesiod's Proem and Plato's Ion
Plato's Hesiod is a neglected topic, scholars having long regarded Plato's Homer as a more promising field of inquiry. My aim in this chapter is to demonstrate that this particular bias of scholarly attention, although understandable, is unjustified. Of no other dialogue is this truer than of the Ion
Dual Selfhood and Self-Perfection in the Enneads
Plotinus's theory of dual selfhood has ethical norms built into it, all of which derive from the ontological superiority of the higher (or undescended) soul in us over the body-soul compound. The moral life, as it is presented in the Enneads, is a life of self-perfection, devoted to the care of the higher self. Such a conception of morality is prone to strike modern readers as either 'egoistic' or unduly austere. If there is no doubt that Plotinu…
Reading Ancient Texts. Volume I: Presocratics and Plato
What is the history of philosophy? Is it history or is it philosophy or is it by some strange alchemy a confluence of the two? The contributors to the present volume of essays have tackled this seemingly simple, but in reality difficult and controversial, question, by drawing on their specialised knowledge of the surviving texts of leading ancient philosophers, from the Presocratics to Augustine, through Plato, Aristotle and Plotinus. These contr…

Socrates Redivivus
Remembering Socrates is a collection of twelve papers presented at a conference held in 2001 in Athens and Delphi to commemorate the 2400th anniversary of Socrates' death. Since the full proceedings had been edited by V. Karasmanis under the title Socrates: 2400 Years since his Death (Delphi: European Cultural Centre of Delphi, 2004), the publication of the present volume, which contains a selection of the papers presented in 2001, gave the edito…
Latin Poetry and the Judgment of Taste. An Essay in Aesthetics
INLatin Poetry and the Judgment of Taste Charles Martindale has set himself the task of rehabilitating the category of the aesthetic in the study of ancient literary texts. The rise of historicism, culturalism, postcolonialism, and ‘ideology critique’ in general, so he argues, has tended to reduce literature to something that is other than itself. Against these trends, which he mostly deplores, Martindale urges all those engaged in literary studi…
On (mis)interpreting Plato's Ion
Plato's Ion, despite its frail frame and traditionally modest status in the corpus, has given rise to large exegetical claims. Thus some historians of aesthetics, reading it alongside page 205 of the Symposium, have sought to identify in it the seeds of the post-Kantian notion of 'art' as non-technical making, and to trace to it the Romantic conception of the poet as a creative genius. Others have argued that, in the Ion, Plato has Socrates assum…

Le Principe Du Beau Chez Plotin
The status of beauty in Plotinus' metaphysics is unclear: is it a Form in Intellect, the Intelligible Principle itself, or the One? Basing themselves on a number of well-known passages in the Enneads, and assuming that Plotinus' Forms are similar in function and status to Plato's, many scholars hold that Plotinus theorized beauty as a determinate entity in Intellect. Such assumptions, it is here argued, lead to difficulties over self-predication,…

The Is/Ought Gap, the Fact/Value Distinction and the Naturalistic Fallacy
For the last 40 years or so the is/ought gap, the fact/value distinction and the naturalistic fallacy have figured prominently in ethical debates. This longevity, however, has had an adverse side effect. So familiar have they become that they-and their respective rationales-have tended to become blurred. It is the purpose of this paper to explain why they should be kept distinct

Epicurus and Friendship
Ever since classical times, both Greek and Roman, friendship as a philosophical topic has been on the wane. The only notable exception is Montaigne's essay which, however, owes much to classical treatments. This decline of philosophical interest in friendship is not easy to account for. Alasdair McIntyre's overall thesis in After Virtue seemingly affords him with a ready interpretation. The progressive atomization of society, together with the co…
