  • The Stoic Cosmos

    Open AccessRicardo SallesBOOKStoic Cosmos2025

    Stoic cosmology held that our cosmos is periodically destroyed and restored. In this, it is unique compared to earlier cosmologies. Ricardo Salles offers a detailed reconstruction of the philosophical ideas behind this thesis which explains its uniqueness and how it competes with earlier cosmologies. The reconstruction is based on a rigorous analysis of the evidence, made accessible to non-specialists who are familiar with the history of ancient …

  • The Stoic Cosmos, from End to Beginning

    Ricardo SallesCHAPTEROxford Handbook of Hellenistic…2025

    The present chapter deals with the destruction and the restoration of the cosmos in Stoic cosmology. Although the Stoic cosmos is similar to other geocentric systems in Antiquity, it is unique because it is periodically destroyed in a “conflagration” and then restored anew, in a cosmic cycle that is both endless and beginningless. This doctrine of everlasting recurrence is perhaps the most salient element of Stoic cosmology and, therefore, a theo…

  • Dio Chrysostom, Or. 36.55 and the Stoic Conflagration

    Ricardo SallesARTICLEMnemosyne2024

    The present paper questions the assumption in modern scholarship that section 55 of Dio Chrysostom’s Borysthenitic discourse is a reliable source for Chrysippus’ theory of conflagration. We may suppose instead that it is a description of the conflagration in broad Stoic terms that does not contain features that distinguish Chrysippus from other members of the school. And there is also room for disputing that the passage is a description of the co…

  • Agrarian Empires, Plantation Communities, and Slave Families in a Nineteenth-Century Brazilian Coffee Zone

    Open AccessRicardo Salles, Mariana MuazeCHAPTERBoundaries of Freedom2023

    This chapter discusses the existence and reproduction of enslaved families during Brazil’s second slavery through a case study of the Guaribú fazenda (plantation), located in the Vassouras region of Rio de Janeiro’s Paraíba Valley, which was at the time the world’s most productive coffee region. Guaribú’s history allows us to advance three arguments. First, we demonstrate the ways in which the concepts of “agrarian empires,” “plantation communiti…

  • Conflagration

    Open AccessRicardo SallesCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2019

    According to the ancient concept of conflagration (in Greek: ekpurosis ), the cosmos, or universe, will be totally consumed by fire. This concept often goes along with that of cosmic rebirth or reconstitution ( palingenesia ): once the fire of the conflagration is exhausted, a new cosmogony begins and gives rise to a new cosmos, identical to the present one. In addition, these two processes are cyclical. The new cosmos will also undergo a conflag…

  • The Abolition of Brazilian Slavery, 1864–1888

    Ricardo SallesCHAPTEROxford Research Encyclopedia of…2019

    Brazil was the last Western country to abolish slavery, which it did in 1888. As a colonial institution, slavery was present in all regions and in almost all free and freed strata of the population. Emancipation only became an issue in the political sphere when it was raised by the imperial government in the second half of the decade of the 1860s, after the defeat of the Confederacy in the US Civil War and during the war against Paraguay. In 1871…

    The Stoics on Determinism and Compatibilism is an important book which reconstructs the arguments deployed by the Stoics in favour of the view that everything is necessary and examines the development of the different arguments given by the Stoics that this is compatible with moral responsibility and desert. The book carefully distinguishes two separate theses in Stoic theory, that everything that happens and is the case has a cause and that caus…

    Written by a group of leading scholars, this unique collection of essays investigates the views of both pagan and Christian philosophers on causation and the creation of the cosmos. Structured in two parts, the volume first looks at divine agency and how late antique thinkers, including the Stoics, Plotinus, Porphyry, Simplicius, Philoponus and Gregory of Nyssa, tackled questions such as: is the cosmos eternal? Did it come from nothing or from so…

  • Gramsci para historiadores

    Open AccessRicardo SallesARTICLEHistória da Historiografia…2012

    O ensaio apresenta as reflexões de Antonio Gramsci como um trabalho teórico que, mesmo lidando com a política, trata fundamentalmente da história e da prática dos historiadores. Para o pensador e revolucionário italiano, a filosofia da práxis era o historicismo absoluto ou realista. Os conceitos gramscianos, ou cânones metodológicos e de interpretação histórica e política, como ele os considerava, são elaborados a partir de análises de situações …

    O ensaio analisa as relações entre a formação do Estado nacional brasileiro, no período entre 1847 e 1889, e a formação e desenvolvimento históricos da classe senhorial nucleada em torno da Bacia do rio Paraíba do Sul. Para efetuar esta análise, lança mão de categorias gramscianas, tais como intelectuais, classe nacional, hegemonia, e situa a experiência histórica do Império do Brasil com outras experiências similares do século XIX, particularmen…

  • Chrysippus on Conflagration and the Indestructibility of the Cosmos

    Ricardo SallesCHAPTERGod and cosmos in stoicism2009

    This chapter deals with Chrysippus' claim that the cosmos ‘should not be said to die’. It argues that the claim is of great significance for our understanding of early Stoic cosmology because it reflects a clash within the school between two conceptions of the conflagration: Chrysippus' own conception and that of Cleanthes. The chapter proceeds as follows. Section 1 reconstructs Chrysippus' arguments. Its strength resides in the fact that it is b…
