Auf Dem Weg Zu Einer Neuen Aufklärung
Hegel’s Concept of Right
This article examines the foundations for the legitimacy of law from the perspective of Hegel’s philosophy. In a first step, Kant’s justification of law is discussed, as Hegel takes the Kantian model as a central point of (critical) reference. Then, in the Section 2, I discuss Hegel’s reasons for rejecting the main strategies of justification of the legal order: natural law, contractarianism and legal positivism. This is further followed by a dis…

Werner Jaeger’s Paideia and his ‘Third Humanism’
Werner Jaeger (1888–1961) was at his time the most brilliant and the most influential German classicist. His most important project was a tripartite study that he finally published under the title of Paideia. Die Formung des griechischen Menschen (1933–1947). Paideia was much more than a detailed scholarly book on pedagogy in the ancient world. It was an attempt to interpret the history of ancient thought—from Homeric epics to Attic tragedy and P…
Individual Competence and Collective Deliberation in Aristotle’s Politics
Aristotle's Metaphysics Lambda - New Essays
The treatise known as book Lambda of Aristotle’s Metaphysics has become one of the most debated issues of recent scholarship. Aristotle adresses here fundamental questions of his theory of substance, his idea of causes and principles, and his concept of motions. Furthermore, the importance of the text is due to the fact that it contains an outline of what was traditionally understood as Aristotle’s theology
Gewissen bei Augustinus
Space in Hellenistic Philosophy
The volume discusses the notion of space by focusing on the most representative exponents of the Hellenistic schools and explores the role played by spatial concepts in both coeval and later authors who, without specifically thematising these concepts, made use of them in a theoretically original way. Renowned scholars investigate the philosophical significance and bring to light the problematical character of the ancient conceptions of space
The Concept of Justice
This article attempts to challenge those contemporary philosophical approaches to justice (and this is the majority of them) which ascribe to the notion of justice a dominant role within ethics and political philosophy. In the first section, this overestimation of justice is traced back to J.S. Mill (and to John Rawls). After having pointed out some of the essential features of the Millian (and Rawlsian) concept, I show how far these attributes a…

Platon
Recent research on Plato’s Laws has brought to light a number of new facets of Plato’s political philosophy.Topics adressed in this volume are:the founding of an ideal city called Magnesia, questions on to its legal order, administration, education, the role of men and women, penal law, managing money and theology, and comedy and tragedy.

Platon
Das „Symposion“ ist einer der bekanntesten Dialoge Platons. In meisterhafter literarischer Form wird hier ein Trinkgelage dargestellt, bei welchem der Tragödiendichter Agathon und seine Gäste Reden zu Ehren des Gottes Eros halten sollen. Diese Reden heben ganz unterschiedliche begriffliche und phänomenologische Aspekte der Liebe hervor. Von philosophischem Interesse ist das „Symposion“ neben Platons Theorieansätzen zum Thema Liebe besonders wegen…

Politischer Aristotelismus
Socrates on Political Thought
Hellenismus und frühe Kaiserzeit
Es wäre eine irrige Annahme zu glauben, dass Aristoteles’ Politische Philosophie nach seinem Tod in einer präzise definierten Gestalt weitergewirkt hätte. Aristoteles’ Schule, das Lykeion oder der Peripatos, formulierte niemals verbindliche Lehrüberzeugungen und entwickelte erst recht keine philosophische Orthodoxie. Ebenso wie Platons Akademie verstand sich der Peripatos als eine undogmatische gelehrte Einrichtung, in der ganz unterschiedliche F…

The Concept of Love in Kant’s Virtue Ethics
Le concept de vie chez Plotin
Dans son concept de vie, Plotin est redevable, d’une part, à Aristote qui enseigne qu’il existe différents types de vie (βίοι) et que la « vie bonne » (εὖ ζῆν) de chaque homme consiste dans l’activité (ἐνέργεια) conforme à sa meilleure disposition (κατ ̓ἀρετήν) et, d’autre part, à Platon selon qui la vie réside dans l’auto-mouvement. Réunissant ces deux notions, Plotin conçoit la vie comme une certaine force ou δύναμις inhérente à l’être vivant. …
Kant on Ends in Nature and in Human Agency
The Virtuous Life in Greek Ethics
There is now a renewed concern for moral psychology among moral philosophers. Moreover, contemporary philosophers interested in virtue, moral responsibility and moral progress regularly refer to Plato and Aristotle, the two founding fathers of ancient ethics. The book contains eleven chapters by distinguished scholars which showcase current research in Greek ethics. Four deal with Plato, focusing on the Protagoras, Euthydemus, Symposium and Repub…
Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals
Kant's Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals from 1785 is one of the most important and influential texts in the whole history of philosophy.Its central purpose is to develop the categorical imperative. The present collected volume contains papers on central theoretical aspects. Key Features: Contributions from leading international authorities in Kant research A reflection of the current state of research together with new aspects

Plotin über Sein, Zahl und Einheit
Der Platonische Parmenides und die Möglichkeit seiner prinzipientheoretischen Interpretation
Definition du concept d'unite indivisible qui permet d'interpreter la seconde partie (pratique) du «Parmenide» de Platon, consacree a la description du premier et du second principe (Hypotheses 1 et 2), ainsi qu'a la determination des spheres de l'etre (Hypotheses 6 et 7). Au-dela de l'indivisibilite de l'unite et du caractere indicible du savoir, l'A. etudie la signification d'une interpretation neoplatonicienne de l'ontologie du «Parmenide»
La connaissance de soi
Le 49e traité des Ennéades reprend le précepte delphique « connais-toi toi-même », mais d’une manière surprenante pour des lecteurs modernes. Le « soi-même » dont il est question n’est pas en effet le moi empirique, considéré dans sa singularité et son histoire personnelle et sociale. Ce n’est pas un moi donné à une introspection, un examen de conscience, ou à des techniques d’analyse, c’est un « soi » à constituer par identification progressive …

Epieikeia
For many readers of the Nicomachean Ethics it is surprising how highly Aristotle values a capability which he calls epieikeia or to epieikes, an expression usually rendered by 'equity'. In the short chapter EN 5.10, he characterizes it as a perfect moral competence which overrides even justice. At first glance, one might suppose that Aristotle does nothing more in this passage than report several traditional commonplaces (endoxa). But on a close …

Qual é o significado do cogito
Diferentes interpretações foram oferecidas ao argumento agostiniano do cogito, tradicionalmente preocupadas com as possíveis semelhanças entre esse e o cogito, (ergo) sum de Descartes. Centrando-se em De civitate Dei XI 26, o autor oferece uma análise minuciosa do tema em Agostinho, considerando três aspectos: o tema da relação entre o cogito cartesiano e o agostiniano, o lugar do argumento agostiniano no contexto da filosofia da Antiguidade Tard…
