Women's Perspectives on Ancient and Medieval Philosophy
This book promotes the research of present-day women working in ancient and medieval philosophy, with more than 60 women having contributed in some way to the volume in a fruitful collaboration. It contains 22 papers organized into ten distinct parts spanning the sixth century BCE to the fifteenth century CE. Each part has the same structure: it features, first, a paper which sets up the discussion, and then, one or two responses that open new perspectives and engage in further reflections. Our authors’ contributions address pivotal moments and players in the history of philosophy: women philosophers in antiquity, Cleobulina of Rhodes, Plato, Lucretius, Bardaisan of Edessa, Alexander of Aphrodisias, Plotinus, Porphyry, Peter Abelard, Robert Kilwardby, William Ockham, John Buridan, and Isotta Nogarola. The result is a thought-provoking collection of papers that will be of interest to historians of philosophy from all horizons. Far from being an isolated effort, this book is a contribution to the ever-growing number of initiatives which endeavour to showcase the work of women in philosophy.
Origen, the Philosophical Theologian
How did Origen, one of the major Patristic thinkers, construct his philosophical theology? What are his main innovations in metaphysics, protology, Trinitarian Theology and Christology? How did he view the relation between philosophy and theology? This is a collection of over twenty essays, mostly from world-leading journals and books from outstanding publishers, besides two new ones, from Professor Ilaria L.E. Ramelli’s life-long, and always continuing, research on Origen. This coherent set of studies is grouped around Origen’s metaphysics, protology, Trinitarian theology and Christology, and the relation between theology and philosophy, with reception aspects. The essays address Origen...
Soul, Body, and Gender in Late Antiquity
Including both traditional and underrepresented accounts and geographies of soul, body, gender, and sexuality in late antique history, philosophy, and theology, this volume offers substantial re-readings of these and related concepts through theories of dis/embodiment. Bringing together gender studies, late antique philosophy, patristics, history of asceticism, and history of Indian philosophy, this interdisciplinary volume examines the notions of dis/embodiment and im/materiality in late antique and early Christian culture and thought. The book’s geographical scope extends beyond the ancient Mediterranean, providing comparative perspectives from Late Antiquity in the Near East and South A...
Hume's Scepticism
Peter S. Fosl offers a radical interpretation of Hume as a thoroughgoing sceptic on epistemological, metaphysical and doxastic grounds. He first contextualises Hume's thought in the sceptical tradition and goes on to interpret the conceptual apparatus of his work - including the Treatise, Enquiries, Essays, History, Dialogues and letters.

Iniciação À Hermenêutica
Este livro foi escrito para servir de introdução aos estudos hermenêuticos para um público amplo. A ideia diretriz foi a de apresentar os conceitos e teorias que estruturam o paradigma do pensamento hermenêutico a partir de experiências cotidianas e comuns. Nessa estratégia vai embutida a tese de que os termos teóricos são abstrações por sobre práticas e experiências concretas de indivíduos e comunidades. No caso dos termos hermenêuticos básicos, como “sentido”, “expressão”, “significação”, “interpretação” e “compreensão” isso é tanto evidente quanto problemático, pois torna-se difícil apreender os conceitos teóricos que essas palavras designam em cada teoria hermenêutica sem confundi-los com as noções não teóricas a elas associadas no seu emprego cotidiano e vivo da língua. Para eliminar esta ambiguidade, em cada lição, recorreu-se a um conjunto de ações básicas a partir da quais o sentido das palavras torna-se claro. Pois, o sentido e o significado enraízam-se nas práticas e ações de uma comunidade de interagentes ativos e interativos.
Las griegas
En este primer volumen de la colección La otra palabra, Mariana Gardella Hueso invita a conocer la vida y obra de algunas griegas, filósofas, poetas y oradoras. Pensadoras que en la aurora de la tradición filosófica occidental asumieron el riesgo de hacer lo que no se esperaba de ellas: tomar la palabra. Una palabra que a veces se reservaba para el círculo de las más amadas, como la de Safo de Lesbos, que aparta su mirada del campo de batalla para dedicarle su poesía al deseo. Una palabra enigmática, como la de Cleobulina de Lindos, quien a través de sus acertijos provoca el asombro, experiencia de la que nace toda filosofía. Una palabra secreta como la de las pitagóricas, quienes...
Afterlives of the Garden
The collection of essays in this volume offers fresh insights into varied modalities of reception of Epicurean thought among Roman authors of the late Republican and Imperial eras. Its generic purview encompasses prose as well as poetic texts by both minor and major writers in the Latin literary canon, including the anonymous poems, Ciris and Aetna, and an elegy from the Tibullan corpus by the female poet, Sulpicia. Major figures include the Augustan poets, Vergil and Horace, and the late antique Christian theologian, Augustine. The method of analysis employed in the essays is uniformly interdisciplinary and reveals the depth of the engagement of each ancient author with major preoccupations of Epicurean thought, such as the balanced pursuit of erotic pleasure in the context of human flourishing and the role of the gods in relation to human existence. The ensemble of nuanced interpretations testifies to the immense vitality of the Epicurean philosophical tradition throughout Greco-Roman antiquity and thereby provides a welcome and substantial contribution to the burgeoning field of reception studies.
The Ontology, Psychology and Axiology of Habits (Habitus) in Medieval Philosophy
This book features 20 essays that explore how Latin medieval philosophers and theologians from Anselm to Buridan conceived of habitus, as well as detailed studies of the use of the concept by Augustine and of the reception of the medieval doctrines of habitus in Suàrez and Descartes. Habitus are defined as stable dispositions to act or think in a certain way. This definition was passed down to the medieval thinkers from Aristotle and, to a lesser extent, Augustine, and played a key role in many of the philosophical and theological developments of the time. Written by leading experts in medieval and modern philosophy, the book offers a historical overview that examines the topic in light of ...
