Platonic stoicism, Stoic Platonism
the dialogue between Platonism and Stoicism in antiquity
This book examines the important but largely neglected issue of the interrelation between Platonism and Stoicism in Ancient Philosophy. Several renowned specialists in the fields of Stoic and Platonic analyse the intricate mutual influences between Stoic and Platonic philosophers in the Hellenistic period, the Imperial Age, and after. Although it has been repeatedly claimed that the phenomenon addressed in this book could best be labelled eclecticism, it emerges from the various articles collected...

Peter de Rivo on chronology and the calendar
Peter de Rivo (c.1420-1499), a renowned philosopher active at the University of Leuven, is today mostly remembered for his controversial role in the quarrel over future contingents (1465-1475). Much less known are his contributions to historical chronology, in particular his attempts to determine the dates of Christ's birth and death. In 1471, Peter made an original contribution to this long-standing discussion with his Dyalogus de temporibus Christi, which reconciles conflicting views by rewriting...

Michiel Meeusen Plutarch's science of natural problems
a study with commentary on quaestiones naturales

Piet Leupen Middeleeuws koningschap
Op zoek naar de wortels van de West-Europese monarchie
Het christelijke koningschap heeft vanaf 754 zijn stempel gedrukt op de machtsverhoudingen in West-Europa. Het christendom heeft het koningschap gelegitimeerd en gesanctioneerd. Het instituut heeft de eeuwen overleefd. Waar komt dit opmerkelijke overleven vandaan? Welke factoren hebben de opkomst en het grote succes mogelijk gemaakt? Welke rol hebben individuele koningen hierbij gespeeld? Maar ook: waarom is deze machtsuitoefening, die onder iemand als Lodewijk XIV van Frankrijk tot ongekende hoogte...

A versatile gentleman
consistency in Plutarch's writing; studies offered to Luc van der Stockt on the occasion of his retirement
Essays on erudite versatility in Plutarch's works. Plutarch was a brilliant Platonist, an erudite historian, a gifted author of highly polished literary dialogues, a priest of Apollo at Delphi, and a devoted politician in his hometown Chaeronea. He felt confident in the most technical and specialized discussions, yet was not afraid of rhetorical generalizations. In his voluminous oeuvre, he appears as a sharp polemicist and a loving father, an ardent pupil but also a kind, inspiring teacher, a sober...

Franco Trabattoni Essays on Plato’s epistemology

Moreover, the two sides are often associated, respectively, with a metaphysical...

John P. Doyle On the borders of being and knowing
some late scholastic thoughts on supertranscendental being
Sylvester Mauro, S.J. (1619-1687) noted that human intellects can grasp what is,what is not, what can be, and what cannot be. The first principle, 'it is not possible that the same thing simultaneously be and not be,' involves them all. The present volume begins with Greeks distinguishing 'being' from 'something' and proceeds to the late Scholastic doctrine of 'supertranscendental being,' which embraces both. On the way is Aristotle's distinction between 'being as being' and 'being as true' and his...

Jaswina Elahi | Ruben Gowricharn Ongezien, ongehoord
Hindostanen in de Nederlandse koloniale geschiedenis
In de Nederlandse discussie over het koloniaal verleden staat de slavernij in het Caraïbisch gebied centraal. Maar Suriname heeft ook een stelsel van contractarbeid gekend. Dit vormt de geschiedenis van de grootste etnische groep, de Hindostanen. Hoewel hierover ondertussen enkele boeken zijn geschreven – veelal door Hindostanen zelf – heeft deze geschiedenis het Nederlands publiek nauwelijks bereikt. Ongezien, ongehoord maakt de verbinding zichtbaar tussen afschaffing van de slavernij en de immigratie...
