"Shows historians of philosophy that Aristotle provides an elaborate account of artefacts from which we can extrapolate a new solution to the problem of artefacts' substantiality. The reconstruction of such an account also places Aristotle into communication with contemporary metaphysical debates on ordinary objects"--

Die Aenigmata Bernensia oder Berner Rätsel sind eine Sammlung lateinischer Versrätsel, so benannt nach der ältesten erhaltenen Handschrift Bern, Burgerbibliothek, Codex 611, aus der ersten Hälfte des 8. Jahrhunderts. Die Autorschaft und Herkunft der Berner Rätsel sind unbekannt, doch deutet vieles darauf hin, dass zumindest der Kern der Sammlung um das Jahr 700 im westlichen Mittelmeerraum, genauer im langobardischen Norditalien, entstand. Jedes der insgesamt 64 Rätselgedichte besteht aus sechs rhythmischen Hexametern und ist in der Regel betitelt, sodass wir die Lösung kennen. Behandelt werden Gegenstände aus dem spätantik-frühmittelalterlichen Alltag, allerlei Pflanzen und Tiere sowie kosmologische Themen - vom Kochtopf bis zum Sternenhimmel -, die mittels der gattungstypischen Stilmittel der Metapher, Personifikation und verhüllenden Beschreibung zu poetischen Miniaturen verdichtet sind. Die Berner Aenigmata dienten einst als Übungstexte für den Lateinunterricht an der Kathedral- oder Klosterschule und sind in über einem Dutzend mittelalterlicher Handschriften überliefert. Trotzdem sind sie - anders als die lateinischen und volkssprachlichen Rätselsammlungen aus dem angelsächsischen England - später in Vergessenheit geraten und haben in der Forschung nur wenig Beachtung gefunden. Die vorliegende Ausgabe möchte die Berner Rätsel neu ins Licht rücken und enthält neben dem vollständigen lateinisch-deutschen Text ausführliche Erläuterungen zu allen 64 Rätseln, insbesondere was die Sprache und Bildlichkeit sowie das sach- und naturgeschichtliche Wissen betrifft, das die Gedichte verrätseln. Die Einführung liefert neue Antworten auf die schwierigen Fragen nach der Datierung und Herkunft der Sammlung sowie nach ihrer Stellung innerhalb der Gattungstradition. In Anlehnung an das in den Handschriften erkennbare Ordnungsprinzip sind die Rätsel hier in sieben thematische Gruppen unterteilt, sodass Verbindungen sichtbar werden und sich Einblicke eröffnen in sonst verborgene Erfahrungswelten vormodernen Lebens und Denkens.

The Yellow Cow is a tragic-comic humanist novel about a young man from Ireland (Eire) named Llywelyn O'Dweyer, whose purpose in life is to acquire wisdom. Living in the early years of Christianity, he can see that this religion is just a copy of many others, all much older. He knows that Christ never existed and that his story is mostly copied from the biography of the god Mithras. Llywelyn decides to discover the true history of Christianity, but he has to abandon his purpose of finding out who founded Christianity, and where it happened because Christians are destroying the entire Greco-Roman culture and murdering anyone who dares to denounce their evil plan. When Llywelyn was about to give up his quest, he had a series of dreams that showed him the answers to all his questions. The young man organizes these dreams into four stories, each with a female protagonist, including Hypatia of Alexandria, the smartest woman of classic times. The last story sheds light on Llywelyn O'Dweyer's questions, and the reader will be in for a surprise at what it says about who founded Christianity, why and where this religion came into being.

"Offering the first authoritative analysis of Galen's psychological and ethical works alongside a large number of technical tracts, both medical and philosophical, this book provides a new framework through which we can comprehend Galen's role as a practical ethicist - an aspect of his intellectual profile that has been little understood until now"--

In modern society, can people viably be generalists, who translate information, methods, and techniques from external disciplines to improve their own? This thesis considers arguments from writers in the tradition of social theory like Smith, Hegel, and Durkheim, which claim that professional specialisation is an inherent feature of modern society because of its productivity and its role in socially integrating and developing the personality of individuals. This makes generalist positions appear unviable. Against this, the thesis highlights several issues with specialisation and the arguments supporting it, most notably overspecialisation, which presents specialisation as sometimes harmful to the factors it supposedly benefits, such as productivity, personality, and social integration. A taxonomy of different modes of work is then presented, to analyse potential alternative ways for work to function in modern society. This leads to the presentation of a model of generalism which translates methods and knowledge from one specialisation into another. It is compared to other modes of work and its benefits are highlighted. The thesis concludes with recommendations for how to make this kind of generalism useful within modern society and broaches the normative implications of doing so

Profiles of Power: Philosopher-Kings, Princes, and Supermen examines the concept of ¿power¿ in the form of three iconic personifications: Platös Philosopher-king, Machiavelli¿s Prince, and Nietzsche¿s Superman. It demonstrates how these thinkers¿ response to power was determined by their investigation of the fundamental nature of humankind, the limits of human understanding, and the question of whether the universe is a rationally ordered domain or an unscripted chaos. Given the widely variant settings in which these men lived, their responses are understandably diverse. But author M.A. Soupios suggests that at least one concern unites their thoughts and purposes: that dangerous times necessitate the services of rarefied human types, and that charismatic leadership is a necessary countermeasure against the dissolute tendencies of culture and community. As Soupios argues, it is specifically in these salvational terms that the celebrated power archetypes advanced by Plato, Machiavelli, and Nietzsche must be understood.

"Offers intermediate Greek students a reliable, up-to-date introduction to Plato's most influential work. Plato's Greek is not difficult, but his ideas have generated considerable controversy. Book I serves as a dramatic introduction to them, with its memorable confrontation between Socrates and the sophist Thrasymachus over the nature of justice"--

In this book, philosopher Jean W. Rioux extends accounts of the Aristotelian philosophy of mathematics to what Thomas Aquinas was able to import from Aristotle¿s notions of pure and applied mathematics, accompanied by his own original contributions to them. Rioux sets these accounts side-by-side modern and contemporary ones, comparing their strengths and weaknesses.

In den 60er-Jahren des ersten Jahrhunderts n. Chr. hat der römische Politiker und Philosoph Lucius Annaeus Seneca (Seneca der Jüngere) eine Sammlung von 124 Briefen verfasst, in denen er seinem Freund Lucilius Einblicke in seine persönliche Ausdeutung der stoischen Philosophie gewährt. Dabei geht die heute geläufige Einteilung der Briefe in 20 Bücher bereits auf die Antike zurück. Der vorliegende Band beinhaltet die Briefe 89-92 aus Buch 14 in deutscher Übersetzung sowie den lateinischen Originaltext.

This book deals with a presentation of eighteen scientific researches dealing with several archaeological, historical and cultural aspects, as well as research on heritage, architecture, urban planning, social life, and the British campaign in 1807 AD. Subsequent events and developments on the Egyptian and international levels, and the excavations in Rosetta Castle, Al-Abd Castle, and Zawiyat Al-Bawab.This book includes: four research papers in the field of architecture and urban planning, two research papers in the field of social life, eight research papers on the British campaign in 1807 and the events and developments that followed on the Egyptian and international levels, three research papers in the field of excavations that were carried out in archaeological sites.

This is a critical edition of a newly discovered Greek manuscript: a full commentary from Codex 199, Metochion of the Holy Sepulchre, Constantinople, entitled ¿Wisdom of Solomon¿an interpretation of Solomon¿s Book of Wisdom, by Origen, as they say¿. The book includes critical apparatus, commentary, and English translation.The Introduction acquaints readers with the text, as well as its late Byzantine context. In the manuscript both the Biblical text (quoted lemma after lemma) and the commentary are presented in full, which makes the document a valuable one for Old Testament scholars, since it contains not only the full commentary, but also the entire text of the Book of Wisdom, which at points has some interesting variations from all extant codices of the Septuagint.Intriguingly, Origen's name is on the rubric, but as author Panayiotis Tzamalikos demonstrates, the most likely author is Nikephorus Gregoras. Study of Gregoras¿ predecessors, architects of the Palaelogean Enlightenment such as George Acropolites, Theodore Metochites, and George Pachymeres, as well as Gregoras¿ contemporary John Kyparissiotes, sheds further light on how Christian and Greek thought were received and interpreted in the East.This book marks a major contribution to the field of Greek and Byzantine philosophical exegesis, and will be valuable for postgraduate classes on patristics, Biblical exegesis, and Byzantine and Greek philosophy.
