Generally known for its advanced, often radical suggestions of reform in politics, religion, morality, and human behavior, the Greek Enlightenment has long been studied in terms of its doctrines and ...theories. To understand the environment in which the new ideas flourished and their impact, Friedrich Solmsen explores the novel intellectual methods that developed during the period.
A variety of new modes of thought was introduced at this time or, if known before, was applied with delight in experimentation. Among those that Friedrich Solmsen examines are new methods of argumentation: persuasion aimed at the control of man's emotions; Utopian speculation; experiments with language; and the emergence of a secular psychology and its use in the reconstruction of human motives and historical events.
Concentrating on the work of nonphilosophical authors such as the historian Thucydides and the tragedian Euripides, the author presents a portrait of a restless and spirited age engaged in an adventure of reason.

In order to identify genesis of moral-ethical phenomenon, author starts from certainty of its historical, and not “eternal”, character. Its rudimental form is found in proto-moral consciousness and ...proto-ethical philosophical standpoint of the Sophists. Resting upon Aristotle and Hegel, author reconstructs Hellenic system of ethical life (Sittlichkeit) and shows the meaning of historical turn the Sophists made within that system by their own philosophical and cultural mission. Within this turn, moral-ethical phenomenon was born as a product of sophistic confrontation of principle of reason (reasoning) with traditional representational consciousness.
From a workshop held at Université Laval,Perceptions of the Second Sophistic and its Timesbrings together fourteen essays and a range of perspectives, including work from scholars in literature, ...philology, linguistics, history, political science, sociology, and religion.
What emerges is a complex reappraisal of Sophism that reorients criticism of this mode of argumentation, expands understanding of Sophistic contributions to classical rhetoric, and opens avenues for ...further scholarship.
Jedna je od glavnih rasprava vezanih uz temu »povijesnog svijeta« ona o odnosu pojmova physis i nomos. Historijski izvori ove rasprave mogu se pratiti sve do 5. i 4. stoljeća pr. Kr. Tijekom ovog ...razdoblja mnogi su filozofi, povjesničari i autori iznosili različite ideje o ovoj temi. Neki od njih su smatrali da je physis superioran nomosu dok je za druge nomos bio superioran physisu. Glavni je problem u ovoj raspravi sklonost stabiliziranju napetosti između ovih dviju sfera povlačenjem jasnih granica među njima. U tom smislu trebamo postaviti dva važna filozofska pitanja. Prvo, je li moguće reći da physis i nomos imaju jasne konceptualne sheme? Drugo je pitanje vezano za prvo te razmatra može li se napetosti između physisa i nomosa prići na fiksan način ili ne. Ovaj članak istražuje pitanja rasprave o odnosu physis–nomos iz perspektive sofista i drugih mislitelja toga doba. Istraživanje se temelji na okviru koji ljudi koriste pri konstituiranju svijeta te će razmotriti u kakvu vezu physis i nomos trebaju biti dovedeni.
This book provides the first general account of the works of the Latin writer Apuleius, most famous for his great novel the `Metamorphoses' or `Golden Ass'. Living in second-century North Africa, ...Apuleius was more than an author; he was an orator and professional intellectual, Platonist philosopher, extraordinary stylist, relentless self-promoter, as well as a versatile author of a remarkably diverse body of other work, much of which is lost to us.
« The sound of the praise in Late Antiquity : between Himerius’mousike and Julian’s Misopogon ».
This paper focuses on the role of the sound in the public speeches addressed to Roman officials. As a ...matter of fact, in Late Antiquity acclamations were very important in Roman imperial ceremony : praise and blame were expressed through sound and silence. The orations of Himerius (Or. 46-47 ; Or. 39) are analysed here in order to revalue his concept of panegyric as mousikè (poetry, music and song) in the theatra, even though Himerius was a model of ‘singing sophist’ criticized by contemporary philosophers. An interesting aspect of this controversy is represented by the introduction of Julian’s Misopogon.
Questo studio sottolinea l’importanza del suono nei discorsi ufficiali che, come le acclamazioni, erano in età Tardo Antica parte integrante del cerimoniale imperiale romano. Si esaminano alcuni discorsi ufficiali di Imerio e si rivaluta la sua concezione del panegirico come mousike nei theatra. Imerio rappresenta un modello di panegirista ufficiale piuttosto diffuso nel IV secolo d. C. nonostante le critiche di filosofi contemporanei. Un interessante aspetto, finora trascurato, di questa polemica è rappresentato dal proemio del Misopogon di Giuliano che conferma la prassi tardoantica dell’elogio musicale.

U ovom radu pokušavam naznačiti određene elemente Sokratove filozofije kojima bi se odgojna praksa trebala voditi, kao i neke štetne implikacije sofističkog pristupa odgoju. Pri analizi Sokratove ...pozicije osobito se oslanjam na Vlastosove interpretacije, a posebice se osvrćem na Sokratovu tezu da se vrlina ne može poučavati. Pored ostaloga, ona upućuje na nedoktrinarni pristup moralno-odgojnoj praksi, kakav ne može proizaći iz suprotnih Protagorinih uvjerenja. Partikularno i utilitarno usmjeren odgoj kod sofista danas se osobito javlja u odgojnom (ili bolje: manipulatorskom) prijenosu nacionalnih, poslovnih i sličnih tobožnjih etika, nemoćnih po pitanju prepoznavanja i prevladavanja postojećih društveno-ekonomskih okvira, a za što Sokratova moralno-odgojna filozofija sadrži kritičku snagu koja prvenstveno proizlazi iz implicitnog naglaska na autonomiji.
