Aristotle's ever-turning world, in Physics 8
Political Technê
Plato’s treatment of poetry is usually discussed without reference to other contemporary reception of Greek poetry, leading to divergent political or aesthetic accounts of its meaning. Yet the culture of the Greek polis, in particular Athens, is the defining context for understanding his aims. Four distinct points are made here, and cumulatively an interpretation of Plato’s opposition to poetry: on the basis of other evidence, including Aristopha…
Heavenly Soul in Aristotle
Several prominent scholars assume that Aristotle regards the heavenly spheres as self-moving or rationally ensouled. Against this I argue first, Ph. 8.5 gives no support, and passages in Ph. 8 imply that all self-movers are terrestrial animals; second, passages in De motu animalium and De caelo where the heaven is called alive do not imply a quasi-animal soul; third, the exclusion of incidental self-movement from the heavens in Ph. 8.6 cannot be …
Cicero and Philosophy as Text
Philosophy for Cicero implies not only a way of life taught orally in a school but also reading and writing. This foreshadows his influence on the later Latin tradition, which identified philosophy with the meaning and evaluation of texts, and ultimately replaced its conception as an autonomous way of life. I propose four factors in Cicero’s influence: initiating the tradition of Latin philosophical prose; developing its vocabulary; the choice of…
The Ever-Moving Soul in Plato's Phaedrus
Analyse des postulats physiques et cosmologiques de la preuve de l'immortalite de l'âme developpee par Platon dans le «Phedre» (245c5-246a2). Examinant les contextes rhetoriques et mythiques de l'argument de l'amour du vrai, c'est-a-dire de l'eros philosophique, l'A. montre que le mythe du mouvement eternel de l'âme fournit une phenomenologie symbolique de la condition humaine
