Translation
This chapter discusses the impact of Ancient-Greek-Latin translation on the transmission and transformation of Greek philosophical thought. It examines how four very different Roman authors—Cicero, Lucretius, Calcidius, and Apuleius—integrate their Greek source texts into a new linguistic, cultural, and intellectual environment: what parts of the Greek text are translated? Does the source text appear in a new genre? Are speaking parts assigned to…
Augustine of Hippo on Nonhuman Animals
This article presents a cross-contextual examination of St. Augustine's views concerning nonhuman animals. It aligns seemingly disparate conclusions of previous studies by considering both material and metaphorical nonhuman animals across Augustine's writings and by integrating the role he assigns to them into his broader metaphysical framework. While Augustine is found to assign instrumental value to all aspects of material creation, nonhuman an…
World Soul – Anima Mundi
The idea of a world soul, first meaningfully explored in Western philosophy in Plato’s dialogue Timaeus, has been drawn on throughout its doctrinal history to explain the relationship between god and the cosmos with its ensouled life forms. It has played a fundamental role in accounts concerning the organization and nature of the physical universe and our human understanding thereof, and has thus featured in a range of cosmological, biological, a…
Notes on the Etymologies in Plato's Cratylus
Recent scholarship on Plato's Cratylus (= Cra. ) has yielded interpretations that assign various functions of philosophical importance to the dialogue's lengthy etymological section. Barney (2001) considers the section an ‘agonistic display’ (69–73) in which Socrates beats contemporary practitioners of etymology at their own game while, at the same time, offering a cosmological theory intended for serious intellectual competition. In this context…
Plato's Timaeus and the Latin Tradition
This book focuses on the development of Platonic philosophy at the hands of Roman writers between the first century BCE and the early fifth century CE. It discusses the interpretation of Plato's Timaeus by Cicero, Apuleius, Calcidius, and Augustine, and examines how these authors created new contexts and settings for the intellectual heritage they received and thereby contributed to the construction of the complex and multifaceted genre of Roman …
Timaeus Latinus
This paper examines Calcidius' position in the notorious interpretative controversy over Plato's dialogue Timaeus. Despite Calcidius' far-reaching influence on the later philosophical and theological tradition, his contribution to the history of this debate has received surprisingly little attention. Against previous studies that have concluded unfavourably with regard to Calcidius' merits as a commentator, this inquiry shows that his Platonic ex…
