Claudius Aelianus’ Varia Historia and the tradition of the miscellanyJohnson, Diane Louise 11 1900 (has links)
Claudius Aelianus was recognized by Philostratus and the author of the Suda as a
participant in the literary and intellectual movement of the Second Sophistic. Philostratus'
biographical sketch in the Lives of the Sophists, however, makes it clear that Aelian did
not perform publicly as did the other sophists whom Philostratus described; Aelian's
retiring and scholarly nature is emphasized by Philostratus, who implies that Aelian's
choice of literature over performance followed a pattern established by Demosthenes and
Cicero.
Most scholarship on the Varia Historia during the past 150 years addresses the
question how Aelian made his collection, i.e. what sources he accessed. This directly
reflects modern use of the Varia Historia as a quarry from which to mine information
about the ancient world. Such scholarship must conclude that Aelian was not a modern
research scholar with the goals, techniques, and readership of the modern "scientific"
historian.
What then were his goals, techniques, and readership? The Varia Historia cannot
be fairly assessed without taking into account its membership in the genre of the
miscellany. The Imperial miscellanist concerns himself with a specific subset of traditional
literature: the material which supplements the standard literary education and may be
termed polymathic. The miscellanist assumes a readership with whom he shares certain
educative goals: specifically, further detailed education in literature beyond the primary
level, including further work in the encyclic artes and a general increase in detailed
information "for its own sake." Because the miscellanist adopts the stance of a mature
amateur scholar gathering data for a younger reader, he reveals a patronizing tone in his
collection. The data the miscellanist offers his reader is presented in a manner
characterized by rroiKiXia or "variety"; as such it reflects the Imperial attitude toward the
cultured person's correct use of leisure.
An analysis of passages from the Varia Historia reveals that Aelian conceives his
reader as a young person currently in the process of acquiring paideia. In his miscellany
Aelian has provided this reader with material that conveys a moral message at the same
time that it provides models of the correct way to respond to traditional literature.

Applied imagination : Giordano Bruno and the creation of magical imagesStorch, Michael. January 2007 (has links)
The creation and manipulation of infinite images is central to Bruno's thought, but to the best of my knowledge, this has never been properly treated before. This project is a departure from much of the current scholarship on Bruno which has focused on his contribution to scientific thought, and downplayed or ignored the Hermetic and magical elements which pervade his work. Each chapter deals with different works of Bruno, and different aspects of his philosophy, and each is rooted in the larger project of uncovering the role, meaning, and application of images in Bruno's thought. / The general arc of the thesis is from the interior and personal to the cosmological and metaphysical. Chapter 1 begins with a study of the faculty of phantasy and the role of images on human cognition. This is Bruno's epistemology and anthropology as expressed in Imaginum. Chapter 2 covers the ethical and social applications of images, and how the control of images manipulates reality. This concept is represented in the reconstruction of the universe in The Expulsion of the Triumphant Beast. Chapter 3 deals with the physics---or mechanics---of his philosophy, with its roots in Hermetic magic as described in Vinculis and Magia, wherein images are used to create bonds. Chapter 4 addresses Bruno's cosmology, which adopts the Copernican model and reinterprets that model as a hieroglyph. It is the heuristic key in Ash Wednesday Supper, the image of which exists in the faculty of phantasy and becomes embedded on to the universe. The two become indistinguishable and work in union. Through the coincidence of opposites, matter becomes form and God becomes man. The image of the infinite cosmos becomes re-embedded in the single instance of an image in the faculty of Phantasy. / The conclusion will bring together these epistemological, ethical, mechanical, cosmological, and metaphysical strains of Bruno's philosophy into a statement on the Brunian reformation as he saw it, and on the contemporary relevance of his theory and application of images.

A construção da imagem do imperador Augusto nas obras de Veléio Patérculo, Plutarco e Suetônio /José, Natália Frazão. January 2012 (has links)
Orientador: Margarida Maria de Carvalho / Banca: Ana Teresa Marques Gonçalves / Banca: Andrea Lucia Dorini de Oliveira Carvalho Rossi / Resumo: A construção da imagem de Augusto é algo muito estudado pela historiografia atual. Obras como a Eneida de Virgílio e muitos escritos de Horácio, de escritores contemporâneos a Otávio Augusto, são usadas como referências desta propaganda política, militar, social e ideológica do Principado Romano. Notam-se, a partir de obras como estas, as construções em torno da imagem de Augusto e o uso desta, para legitimar o novo sistema político que surgia em Roma. Ainda, durante este processo de legitimação e propaganda, foi-nos possível perceber como se dá a utilização de imagens de grandes personagens públicos romanos, tais como Júlio César e Marco Antônio, e como é construída a representação de Augusto, como Princeps, em torno de semelhanças e diferenças destes personagens. Sendo assim, nosso objetivo nesta presente pesquisa é analisar como se criaram representações em torno da imagem de Augusto, a partir da oposição das figuras de Júlio César e Marco Antônio. Para tanto, selecionamos obras de períodos e gêneros narrativos distintos, a fim de, com isso, conseguirmos um entendimento mais amplo acerca do período analisado. Trata-se das obras de Veléio Patérculo, História Romana, duas biografias de Plutarco, César e Antônio, presentes na obra Vidas Paralelas, e duas biografias - O Divino Júlio César e O Divino Augusto - de Suetônio, presentes em sua obra A Vida dos Doze Césares / Abstract: The formation of Augustus' image is something much studied by the historiography nowadays. Works like the Aeneid by Virgil and many Horace's writings, from contemporary writers in time of Octavius Augustus are used as references from these political, military, social and ideological of the Roman Principality. It is noticed, from works like these, formations around the image of Augustus and the usage of it to legitimate the new political as starting in Rome. Yet, during this process of legitimacy and spreading, it was possible to realize how the usage of images of great Roman political people works, such as Julius Caesar and MarK Antony, how the representation of Augustus is formed like Princeps, around the resemblance and difference of these characters. Thus, our aim in this present research is to analyze how representations around the image of Augustus were formed from the opposition of images of Juius Caesar and Mark Antony. Because of that, we selected works from periods and distinct narrative genres so we could understand better about the analyzed period. It is about Velleius Paterculus' works. Roman History, two Plutarcus biographies, Caesar and Antony, present in the work Parallel Lives and two biographies - The Divine Julius Caesar and the Divine Augustus - by Suetonius, presented in his work The Twelve Caesars / Mestre

Previous issue date: 2006 / Resumo: Pretendemos estudar a solução apontada por Aristóteles, no livro II dos Segundos Analíticos, para o problema da apreensão dos princípios da ciência. Atentamos para as relações entre os conceitos de indução (epagoge) e inteligência (nous) presentes no capítulo 19, que parecem confirmar que a aquisição dos princípios se dá por meio de um processo de observação empírica. Examinamos o método proposto, nos capítulos 13 a 17, para a correta formulação de definições, o que parece atribuir à dialética a tarefa de descobrir os princípios. Aristóteles parece, assim, indicar dois métodos ¿ de um lado, a observação empírica coroada pela inteligência dos princípios, e, de outro lado, a dialética ¿ para a apreensão dos princípios. Pretendemos estudar possíveis soluções para o problema da concorrência entre esses dois métodos de modo a refutar tanto uma leitura estritamente empirista quanto uma leitura estritamente dialética / Abstract: Our purpose is to study Aristotle¿s solution, in the second book of the Posterior Analytics, for the problem of the apprehension of the principles of science. We attend to the relations between the concepts of induction (epagoge) and intelligence (nous) found in the chapter 19, which seems to confirm that the acquisition of the principles is reached by a process of empirical observation. We examine the method, proposed in chapters 13 to 17, for the right formulation of definitions, which seems to attribute to dialectics the task of finding the principles. Aristotle seems to indicate two different methods ¿ on one hand, the empirical observation followed by intelligence, on other, the dialectics ¿ for the apprehension of the principles. Our purpose is to study possible solutions for the problem of the concurrence between these two methods in order to refute as much a strictly empiricist interpretation as a strictly dialectical one / Mestrado / Mestre em Filosofia

Ein 'Dilemma tiefster Schwierigkeiten: die Theorie der Philosophiegeschichte im 20. JahrhundertSchneider, Ulrich Johannes 11 December 2014 (has links)
Am Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts ist die europäische Philosophie stärker als jemals zuvor geteilt in zwei Kulturen: die eine ist im Bemühen um wissenschaftliche Strenge rücksichtslos fixiert auf Paradigmen zeitgenössischer Diskussion, die andere ist durch die vage Anerkennung einer philosophischen Tradition befangen in Revisionen, Adaptationen, Assoziationen. Für die erste, heute in Deutschland
vielfach dominierende Kultur gilt die Geschichte der Philosophie als uninteressant, weil hier und jetzt tel quel nicht einsetzbar, für die andere gilt sie als eine Art Maßstab des Philospphierens überhaupt. In der ersten Hinsicht können die Philosophien der Vergangenheit höchstens rational rekonstruiert werden (wiewohl dies nicht für nötig gehalten wird), in der zweiten bilden sie in jedem Fall einen Gegenstand der Refle xion, da sie zum historischen Bestand des europäischen Philosophierens gehören. Als möglicher Quelle von Argumenten wird einerseits der Philosophiegeschichte eine gewisse Funktion zugebilligt, als dem Vorausgesetzten gegenwärtigen Bewußtseins ihr andererseits eine allgemeine Bedeutsamkeit
anerkannt.
