Seneca and Stoic Moral Psychology
The first part of this chapter addresses the question of the influence of Platonic psychology on Seneca. Seneca has often been interpreted as “eclectic,” and so to assess the extent of his commitment to Stoic views, requires a sense of how he handles material from other schools of thought, and especially Platonism. The second part, takes a closer look at one of his more technical expositions, his analysis of the pre-emotions and anger. Such accou…
The Oxford Handbook of Roman Philosophy
Several decades of scholarship by now have demonstrated that Roman thinkers have developed in new and stimulating directions the systems of thought they inherited from the Greeks, and that, taken together, they offer a range of perspectives that are of philosophical interest in their own right. This collection of essays pursues a maximally inclusive approach, covering not only authors such as Augustine but also poets or historians. It pays attent…

Stoicism in Rome
While classical Greek philosophy had concentrated on the eudaimonist promise of cultivating happiness of the soul, and medieval philosophy on guiding the soul to the eternal happiness of heaven, Renaissance philosophy added to these the more worldly goal of ending the war, factionalism and instability that ravaged Europe, and especially Italy, in the twelfth through sixteenth centuries, by recreating the sciences, society and moral education whic…

Calcidius on Matter : A Minimalist Dualism
Cette contribution est le résumé d’une communication sur la notion de la matiere dans le commentaire de Calcidius sur le Timée de Platon. Pour arriver a un dualisme minimal, Calcidius (a) combine des éléments d’Aristote, des Stoiciens, et de Numénius, mais (b) rejette la notion qu’il attribue aux Hébreux, certains aspects de la notion de Numénius, et d’une notion qu’il attribue a certains Platoniciens.
Teaching Pericles
This chapter disputes the scholarly view that Cicero, in his various treatments of Stoic theory and especially in De finibus 3, downplays the importance of physics relative to ethics even to the point where it is possible to make sense of Stoic ethics quite independently of physics. True, Cicero's stress on the claims of the active, political life generates reservations about immersion in the study of theoretical philosophy and physics. But despi…
Nature and Divinity in Plato's Timaeus by Sarah Broadie. Cambridge
442 PHOENIX One of Plutarch’s strengths, as has recently been shown elsewhere, is his recognition that moral action is complex and that real life seldom fits nicely into the rigidity of philosophical theorising (see, e.g., G. Roskam and L. van der Stockt [eds.], Virtues for the People: Aspects of Plutarchan Ethics [Leuven 2011]). Beneker’s work adds nicely to this picture, particularly in his analysis of Alexander’s abandonment of sophrosyne late…
Thinking through excerpts
This collection of essays represents the most comprehensive study to date on the anthology copiled by Strobaeus (5th c. AD). It covers topics such as excerpting as a cultural practice, issues pertaining to the ms. tradition, Strobaeus' use of his sources, his evidence on specific figures (Heraclitus, Theognis, Plato, the Cynics, Aristo of Chios and Eudorus of Alexandria) as well as thematic treatments
Philo of Alexandria on stoic and platonist psycho-physiology
Calcidius on God
Meta-Discourse
This paper brings Calcidius' 4th. c. AD Latin commentary on Plato's Timaeus into the fold of research on the methodological assumptions and hermeneutical practices of the ancient commentary tradition. The first part deals with the question of how Calcidius sees his role as a commentator in relation to the original text, to his audience, and to the Platonist tradition. The second part examines the organizing principles and structuring devices of t…
Philo of Alexandria on Stoic and Platonist Psycho-Physiology
Human Bonding and OikeiŌsis in Roman Stoicism
For he who is either fast bound in the love lures of his wife or under the stress of nature makes his children his first care, ceases to be the same to others, and unconsciously has become a different man, and has passed from freedom into slavery. The Stoics inherited from Plato2 and Aristotle (Art’ io98bi3-i4) a threefold division of ‘goods’ into ‘goods of the soul, goods of the body, and externals’. Emphasizing the opposition between soul and b…

Posidonius and the Timaeus
We know enough about Posidonius' life to trace his wanderings: he was born into a wealthy and influential family in Apamea, Syria; he went through all the steps of an Hellenistic education; in Athens he encountered his Stoic teacher Panaetius; and finally he settled—except for some travelling throughout the Mediterranean and to Rome—in the high society of Rhodes, where he actively participated in political life and headed a Stoic school
