  This paper demonstrates how ubuntu relational philosophy may be used to ground beneficial coercive care without necessarily violating a patient's dignity. Specifically, it argues that ubuntu philosophy is a useful theory for developing necessary conditions for determining a patient's potential dangerousness; setting reasonable limits to the duty to protect; balancing the long-term good of providing unimpeded therapy for patients who need it with …

  This response to two academic conferences-"Local Knowledge and Microidentities," held in England in 2004, and "Patrie d'origine et patries électives," held in France in 2009-argues that "the idea of the local can only arise from a supralocal perspective" and, thus, that there is no local knowledge without a cosmopolitan knowledge more widely shared. Contributions to the conferences remarked on the widespread existence in Greek and Roman antiquity…

  Little is known about Arabia in the sixth century CE. Yet from this distant time and place emerged a faith and an empire that stretched from the Iberian peninsula to India. Today, Muslims account for nearly a quarter of the global population. G. W. Bowersock seeks to illuminate this most obscure and yet most dynamic period in the history of Islam--from the mid-sixth to mid-seventh century--exploring why arid Arabia proved to be such fertile groun…

  The pre-Islamic Byzantine world experienced numerous paganisms, both polytheistic and, in view of their gods’ hierarchy, occasionally quasi-monotheistic. In the Quran, Prophet Muhammad called mushrikun those who shared their gods and had to be pagans, in some or other form. Historians studying the ideas of these mushrikun have access to accounts on the angels to whom pagans appealed for heavenly intercession to help them and reveal heaven's invis…

  Le monde byzantin avant l’Islam connaissait une foule de paganismes, à la fois polythéistes et de temps en temps, à cause de la hiérarchie de leurs dieux, quasi-monothéistes. Dans le Coran, le Prophète Muhammad a désigné du nom de mushrikūn ceux qui partageaient leurs dieux et devaient être, sous une forme ou une autre, des païens. Considérant les idées de ces mushrikūn, l’historien dispose d’un dossier de témoignages sur les anges auprès desquel…

  Historians of both classical and late antiquity have a natural tendency to view the world they study as fundamentally divided into East and West. The reasons are obvious. Greeks were in the east, Romans in the west. The Roman Empire brought the parts together for some centuries before the successors of Constantine divided it definitively once again. Christianity perpetuated the split between East and West, and papal authority in the West confront…

Here, the author illuminates social attitudes of this period and persuasivel…

  Plutarch of Chaeronea was a voluminous writer whose experience of the Graeco-Roman world of his own day was quite as comprehensive as his knowledge of earlier ages.

  The most notable personality in the history of Augustan Greece is the Spartan, C. Julius Eurycles. As a partisan of Octavian, he led the Spartan force against Antony at Actium, and his name reveals that his allegiance was rewarded with Roman citizenship. Eurycles enjoyed the friendship of Augustus, and abused it. The history of this man provides valuable evidence for Augustan policy toward cities and dynasts of the East. Yet most of the modern li…

  [Plutarch] records that Augustus passed a winter on the island of Aegina, rather than in Athens, as a sign of his wrath toward the Athenians. Paul Graindor assumed that the most likely time for Augustus to have been angry with the Athenians was immediately after Actium, and so he dated [Plutarch]'s anecdote to the winter of 31/30 ( Athènes sous Auguste [Cairo, 1927], p. 17).
