Disabilities in Roman antiquity
"This is the first volume ever to systematically study the subject of disabilities in the Roman world. The contributors examine the topic a capite ad calcem, from head to toe. Chapters deal with mental and intellectual disability, alcoholism, visual impairment, speech disorders, hermaphroditism, monstrous births, mobility problems, osteology and visual representations of disparate bodies. The authors fully engage with literary, papyrological, and…
Approaching Disabilities a Capite ad Calcem
This chapter offers an exciting and new overview of a subject rarely broached before: disability in Roman Antiquity. Studies on disability are mostly focused on the Modern Age, and the Middle Ages have started to make up the arrears. These studies viewed disability on the model of gender, race or ethnicity, categories which had traditionally enabled the white, non-disabled male to confirm his dominance and superiority over others. Disability stud…
Mental States, Bodily Dispositions and Table Manners
It comes as no surprise that we find both continuity and change regarding the perception of the mind/body system between the eighth century BCE and the fifth century CE. This overview commences with Homeric writings, in which the intellectual complex located roughly in one's torso, could go awry and wreak havoc, causing temporary or permanent disparity. Next, it shows that the conditions of parity and disparity were formed by flexible criteria, a…
Blockheads, roundheads, pointy heads
Recent work on the conceptual history of intellectual disability has pointed to a discontinuity in the seventeenth century, identifying the concept as essentially modern in a more radical sense than mental illness or physical disability. However, Galenist accounts of intellectual impairment were clearly connected (via anatomy) to neurology, which could be taken as prima facie evidence that Galenism shares with modern medicine one of its basic exp…
Intellectual Ability and Speed of Performance
From natural disability to the moral man
Some humanist theologians within the French Reformed Church in the 17th century developed the notion that a disability of the intellect could exist in nature independently of any moral defect, freeing its possessors from any obligations of natural law. Sharpened by disputes with the church leadership, this notion began to suggest a species-type classification that threatened to override the importance of the boundary between elect and reprobate i…
Intellectual disability and the myth of the changeling myth
This article investigates the historical sources for the idea of the "changeling" or substitute child as an explanation for congenital intellectual disability. Pre-modern sources for this idea are elite and theological as much as popular and folkloric, nor do they refer to intellectual disability in any sense recognizable to us. Rather, both the concept of intellectual disability and the notion of a transhistorical changeling myth emerge from the…
Politics, Nature, and Necessity
Confrontation de l'approche naturaliste de l'esclavage chez Aristote a notre conception de la politique du consentement fondee sur la rationalite et la psychologie de l'intelligence. Alors que nous expliquons le statut politique de chacun par ses capacites mentales naturelles, l'A. montre qu'Aristote ne cherche pas a fonder l'institution sociale de l'esclavage sur la psychologie, mais souligne sa necessite au regard de l'absence d'une âme deliber…
