I filosofi greci padri dell'esicasmo

Lanfranco Rossi
Il leone verde

Lo studio intende dimostrare come le tecniche mistico-ascetiche dei padri esicasti (Cristianesimo orientale) non siano che l'eredità diretta delle pratiche di elevazione filosofica già note ai filosofi greci (presocratici-cinici-stoici-platonici, ecc.). Figura di costante riferimento per tutte le tematiche affrontate è S. Nikodemo, colui che raccolse la famosa Filocalia. Il volume si impone per la ricchezza del materiale considerato e per il taglio che risulta accessibile anche per i non specialisti.

Greek Buddha

How a Greek philosopher's encounters with Buddhism in Central Asia influenced Western philosophy

Pyrrho of Elis went with Alexander the Great to Central Asia and India during the Greek invasion and conquest of the Persian Empire in 334-324 BC. There he met with early Buddhist masters. Greek Buddha shows how their Early Buddhism shaped the philosophy of Pyrrho, the famous founder of Pyrrhonian scepticism in ancient Greece.

Christopher I. Beckwith traces the origins of a major tradition in Western philosophy to Gandhara, a country in Central Asia and northwestern India. He systematically examines the teachings and practices of Pyrrho and of Early Buddhism, including those preserved in testimonies by and about Pyrrho, in the report on Indian philosophy two decades later by the Seleucid ambassador Megasthenes, in the first-person edicts by the Indian king Devanampriya Priyadarsi referring to a popular variety of the Dharma in the early third century BC, and in Taoist echoes of Gautama's Dharma in Warring States China. Beckwith demonstrates how the teachings of Pyrrho agree closely with those of the Buddha Sakyamuni, "the Scythian Sage." In the process, he identifies eight distinct philosophical schools in ancient northwestern India and Central Asia, including Early Zoroastrianism, Early Brahmanism, and several forms of Early Buddhism. He then shows the influence that Pyrrho's brand of scepticism had on the evolution of Western thought, first in Antiquity, and later, during the Enlightenment, on the great philosopher and self-proclaimed Pyrrhonian, David Hume.

Greek Buddha demonstrates that through Pyrrho, Early Buddhist thought had a major impact on Western philosophy.

Platos Ideenlehre

Paul Natorp
Felix Meiner Verlag

Als Paul Natorp 1903 die erste Ausgabe von "Platos Ideenlehre" vorlegte, begründete er eine neue Epoche der Platoforschung: die Epoche der - im kantischen Sinne - "idealistischen" Auslegung der Platonischen Dialoge, die deren Mitte und Ziel erstmals im Begriff der "Idee", in der "Entdeckung des Logischen" ausmachte. Natorps Gleichsetzung der Philosophie Platos mit der Entfaltung der Ideenlehre blieb seither für die Auseinandersetzung mit den Dialogen Platos bestimmend; sein großes Platobuch gilt noch heute als die herausragende und maßgebende Einführung in dessen Werk und den philosophischen Idealismus. Für Natorp selbst stand seine Arbeit an Plato in unmittelbarem Zusammenhang mit der Arbeit an seiner eigenen Philosophie; sosehr sein großes Buch sich als Hinführung zu Plato verstand, sosehr bildet die Ausarbeitung von Platos Ideenlehre auch einen originären Teil der Philosophie Paul Natorps. Dieser unveränderte Print-on-Demand-Nachdruck der Auflage von 1994 bietet den Text nach der zweiten Auflage von 1921.
