Religio-Philosophical Discourses in the Mediterranean World: From Plato, through Jesus, to Late Antiquity: Ancient Philosophy & Religion, cartea 1

Editat de Anders Klostergaard Petersen, George H. van Kooten
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 mar 2017
This first volume of the new Brill series “Ancient Philosophy & Religion” is a collection of articles by scholars of Classics, Ancient Philosophy, and Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity. The articles are based on papers presented at two colloquia on the interface between Ancient Philosophy and Religion at the universities of Aarhus and Cambridge. They focus extensively on Platonic philosophy and piety and sketch an emerging religio-philosophical discourse in ancient Judaism (both in the Sibylline Oracles and 4 Maccabees). Furthermore, this volume studies Seneca’s religio-philosophical understanding of 'consolation', compares early depictions of Jesus with those of ancient philosophers, and, finally, reconsiders responses of pagan philosophers to Christianity from the second century to Late Antiquity.

Recenzii

The scope signified by the title of this book is breathtakingly broad, but it actually does delineate the contents of the book reasonably well… A number of the essays are programmatic discussions of the conceptual puzzle posed by the books title, while others are close studies of particular texts. Among the latter kind, there is much more attention devoted to Platonism than to any other ancient philosophical school. But this is only the first volume in a series. It is a welcome contribution in its own right and gives us reason to look forward to more such. - Matthew V. Novenson, in: Journal for the study of the New Testament, 2018
The launch of this new series intended to foster research on the relationship between ‘Ancient Religion and Philosophy’ is only to be welcomed and applauded. And the volume to launch it opens up various ways to discuss the question. In fact, it poses more questions than it answers—and this is exactly what a volume opening a new scholarly series should do! - RAINER HIRSCH-LUIPOLD, Universität Bern, in: Journal of Theological Studies, 70.2 (2019)
