Zusammenfassung:
'Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy' is a volume of original articles on all aspects of ancient philosophy. The articles may be of substantial length, and include critical notices of major books. Volume LVII contains studies of: the relation between professional skill (technē) and rule (archē) in the refutation of Thrasymachus in Plato’s Republic; the central role of beauty in moral development in Plato’s Phaedrus; the ‘Digression’ in Plato’s Theaetetus and the normative implications of objective measurement; Plato’s response to the Eleatics in his Parmenides and the development of the idea that the Forms must participate in each other; the last definition of ‘sophist’ in Plato’s Sophist, which is shown to be a genuine expertise; the conception of character virtue in Aristotle’s Eudemian Ethics and how it contributes to the correctness of decisions in the virtuous person; the nature of practical reasoning and practical intellect in Aristotle’s ethics; Aristotle’s notion of ‘practical truth’; Aristotle’s conception of vice; Epicurus’ hedonism as psychological, but not ethical; ancient Cynicism as a philosophical ‘way of life’; and Jacob Burckhardt’s complex relation to ancient Greek philosophy and its place in Greek cultural history.
