Claudio Moreschini – författare

Hermias von Alexandria, ein Schüler der athenischen Akademie, verfasste im 5. Jh. n. Chr. einen Kommentar zu Platons Dialog Phaidros. Der Kommentar ist stark bestrebt, metaphysische Zusammenhänge zu erläutern, und gibt somit auch Auskunft über Ideen und Theorien der neuplatonischen Lehre. Die bisher einzige kritische Ausgabe (P. Couvreur, 1901) wird durch die hier vorgelegte Edition ersetzt. Sie wird durch reichhaltige Indices erschlossen.

Claudio Moreschini focuses on selected and as yet still understudied aspects of Boethius' life and works. He presents Boethius in the culture of the sixth century in Italy, outlines his great cultural project and discusses the problem of his Christian faith. The Consolatio Philosophiae is examined from the point of view of Latin Platonism, highlighting the aims of its poetry and its philosophical tenets. Moreschini also shows how Boethius combined Christian faith and philosophy in order to solve theological issues, most notably the Christological debates of his times or the question of the Trinity.
