Grecka historiografia antyczna

Author(s): Roman Krawczyk / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2013

In the Greek world in the first millennium BC, historiography was mainly limited to tales about the past of one's own family and their relations with other families. In the beginning, these tales were passed down orally, and with time, they began to take written form. It was not until the beginning of the 5th century BC that we may speak of what we today understand as proper antique historiography. This paper consists of three parts. In the first part, the author concentrates on the early stage of writing down tales about past events by Ionian logographers. In the second part, the output of the most prominent representatives of antique Greek historiography including Herodotus of Halicarnassus (490-425 BC), Thucydides of Athens (460-ca. 400 BC), Xenophon of Athens (432-353 BC) and Polybius of Megalopolis (200-ca. 118 BC) is analyzed. The third part of this paper describes two currents in antique historiography, namely, rhetorical and biographical historiography.

Les Fondaments Theologiques De La Rhetorique Arabe Entre Muʿtazilites et Achʿarites

Author(s): Abdessamad Belhaj / Language(s): French / Issue: 2/2007

Loin d’être une méthode conçue dans le but de persuader, la rhétorique arabe est liée à deux questions de prime importance pour la théologie islamique: les attributs de Dieu et l’inimitabilité du Coran. Dès lors, il est nécessaire d’aller chercher les origines de cette rhétorique dans les débats théologiques opposants les Muʿtazilites aux Achʿarites. La rhétorique a eu dans la pensée islamique la fonction de mettre en lien les mots et les sens comme la théologie se chargea de définir le lien entre l’essence et les attributs. Les Muʿtazilites, niant les attributs ont développé une conception de la rhétorique centrée autour des mots et de leur usage dans la langue arabe. Quant aux Achʿarties, affirmationnistes qu’ils sont, ont accordé l’importance aux sens et à leur dépassement de l’usage fait de la langue. L’influence greco-chrétienne s’est faite inviter dans ces débats, particulièrement chez les Achʿarites, par l’intermédiaire du concept du kalām nafsī , notion stoïcienne de parole intérieure précédant la parole extérieure.

Nihilizm i prawo silniejszego a praworządność w nauce sofistów

Author(s): Cyprian Mielczarski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 52/2007

The opposition between Socrates’ views and the sophists’ teachings reflects the conflict of ethics and politics and of philosophy and democracy, the form of state regarded by Plato as an outcome of sophistical relativism. Socrates saw the task of a politician in betterment of his own soul and of the citizens’ characters while the sophists taught their disciples utilitarian efficacy in politics and everyday life, essential to achieve success in the system of direct democracy. Cognitive nihilism was created by Gorgias who pointed out the difference between logos, that is, thought and word, and the reality, and, using his dialectical method, criticised the whole previous Greek cultural tradition. The proper ability needed in life was, according to him, rhetorical skill, which however should be used only to achieve just goals. A product of sophists’ education is Callicles, the fictitious personage created by Plato. As an opponent of education based on self-restraint and as an adherent of the theory that according to the laws of nature stronger individuals should rule over weaker ones, he symbolises the negative moral and political consequences of relativism. Moreover, he criticises philosophy as an activity contrary to his pragmatic notion of excellence in public and private life. The law of the stronger was also upheld by Thrasymachus of Chalcedon who claimed that justice is always in agreement with the interest of the mighty. Another disciple of the sophists, Critias, famous for his ruthlessness as an oligarch, was convinced that people obey the laws thanks to their faith in the gods. That faith, according to him, was invented by eminent lawgivers. A negation of immoralism can be found in a treatise by an anonymous sophist, quoted by Iamblichus (3rd/4th century A.D.). Its author glorifies law-abidingness of great men and their devotion in the service of the state and the laws. That text should be regarded as a synthesis of the sophists’ pedagogical views, based on the cult of the society as a community.

Spotkać rzeczywiste. Problem immanentnej kategoryzacji w logice hermeneutycznej szkoły z Getyngi

Author(s): Krzysztof Soloducha / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 54/2009

Transcendental logic is asking about the problem of the constitution of all objectivity. One answer sounds as follows: meeting of all objectivity always takes place in frames of the certain linguistic perspective understood as the categorization top down. This model of categorization however doesn’t let to evaluate different perspectives. They are simply completely equal of oneself, and, in a little bit cynical Feyerabend’s analysis, the one will turn out to be stronger, which is winning in the rhetorical or aesthetic clash. So we are applying to them quite normal rules of the pop culture. For solving this problem of the contemporary theory of the knowledge it is so necessary to put the problem of different models of the categorization, for example the bottom – up model of categorization and problem of conditions of the possibility of presumption sentences. In my text I am trying to show the paths of solving this problem as the condition for realization of idea of knowledge which can anew link logos and ethos.

Uczta mędrców czy sofistów? Wokół antyfilozoficznej wymowy dialogu Atenajosa

Author(s): Marian Andrzej Wesoly / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 56/2011

In recent translations of Athenaeus the title is rendered as The Learned Banqueteurs, thereby it loses the traditional sense of a controversy between sophists and philosophers. However, the deipnosophists were learned men or scholars neither in the ancient nor in the modern understanding of the term. Unfortunately, almost all translations erroneously render the instructive remark of the Byzantine Epitomator that “Athenaeus imitates Plato in his dramatization of the dialogue” (see below the motto). As a matter of fact, the Epitomator refers to the fact that Athenaeus jealously competes with Plato’s mimetic dramatization and aims completely to overcome it. We may, therefore, highlight here the entire anti-philosophical message of this spectacular and sophisticated dialogue.

ЕВАНГЕЛЬСКОЕ СЛОВО В ПРОПОВЕДЯХ ФЕОФАНА ПРОКОПОВИЧА

Author(s): Daria B. Tereshkina / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 1/2018

The article offers an analysis of the use of the Gospel text in the sermons of Theophan Prokopovich. It became evident that Theophan Prokopovich made much less references to the New Testament in his published works than to the Old Testament, which may result from his greater adherence to the Law than to Grace. The Gospel word by Prokopovich becomes a source of abundant and multidimensional allusions, often distantly related to its original meaning. In his sermons, Prokopovich seemed a skilled orator and cunning politician rather than a theologian. Prokopovich used the Gospel word to glorify the authorities and to justify their deeds manifesting, thus, a true talent of philologist skilful in the art of eloquence.
