Timon of Phlius (eBook, PDF)

Pyrrhonism into Poetry

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Early Skepticism and its founder, Pyrrho of Elis, were introduced to the world by the poet and philosopher Timon of Phlius. This is the first book-length study of Timon's work in English, and includes a new reconstruction of his most influential poem Silloi . All of the extant fragments are translated and discussed as literature rather than as source material for the history of philosophy. The book concludes with a definition of "skeptical aesthetics" that demonstrates the importance of Timon and early Skepticism to the most influential Hellenistic poets: Callimachus, Theocritus and Apollonius of Rhodes.

Rezensionen

"L'ouvrage n'en demeure pas moins intéressant et stimulant intellectuellement. Les parallèles qu'il propose dans la littérature hellénistique témoignent d'une diffusion du pyrrhonisme dans la culture grecque plus importante que ce que les seuls textes philosophiques peuvent laisser penser."
