Cicero is best known for his political speeches. His Catilinarian orations are regularly studied in third or fourth year Latin; his self-proclaimed role as savior of the Republic is much discussed in courses on Roman history.

This is Cicero's interest in Hellenistic thought. As a young man he studied philosophy in Greece; throughout his life he maintained a keen interest in intellectual history; and during periods of political inactivity - especially in his last years as the Republic collapsed - he wrote treatises that today are invaluabl...
The problem of body and soul has a long history that can be traced back to the beginnings of Greek culture.

The contributions in this volume not only do justice to the breadth of the topic, they also cover the entire period from the Pre-Socratics to Late Antiquity. Particular attention is paid to Plato, Aristotle and Hellenistic philosophers, that is the Stoics and the Epicureans.

Die Disziplin der "Medienethik" wird zur Sensibilisierung mit dem Ziel der Normbildung herangezogen, um Defizite im Bereich der Medienangebote, der Mediennutzung sowie der Programminhalte aufzuzeigen. Sie soll alternative Handlungskonzepte anbieten, anhand derer die Qualität und Angemessenheit medialen Handelns bewertet werden können. Die Forderung nach einem ethischen Regelwerk wird vor allem dann verstärkt erhoben, wenn in spektakulären Einzelfällen Lügen, Fälschungen und Manipulationen sowie Verletzungen des Persönlichkeitschutzes innerhalb der Berichterstattung nachgewiesen werden können. Eine hinreichend fundierte Medienethik muss aber über solche fallbezogenen Erörterungen h...
