This book deals with some Aristotelian philosophers of the Hellenistic Age, ranging from Theophrastus of Eresus to Cratippus of Pergamum. The problem of knowledge, the question of time, and the doctrine of the soul are investigated by comparing these Peripatetics’ views with Aristotle’s philosophy, and above all by setting their doctrines within the broader framework of post-Aristotelian and Hellenistic philosophies (the Old Academy, Epicureanism, and Stoicism).

No comprehensive volume of scholarly studies has ever been devoted entirely to De signis/On Signs, a work of considerable importance by the Epicurean philosopher Philodemus of Gadara (1st century BCE) partially preserved in the Herculaneum library (PHerc. 1065). The present collection of multilingual essays seeks to fill this gap. De signis is one of the most important texts for reconstructing the Hellenistic debate between Epicureans and Stoics concerning inference from signs. It is a document of exceptional importance for the reconstruction of the history of Epicureanism and its doctrinal developments too, and above all, for a detailed understanding of crucial aspects of both Epicurean and Stoic epistemology and theories of language. A serious historical-philosophical reconstruction of Hellenistic epistemologies cannot afford to overlook this work by Philodemus. The present volume is organised into four parts. Part I (Papyrological and Literary Aspects) examines Philodemus’ treatise from both papyrological and philological-literary perspectives. Part II (Sign-Inference) explores the theoretical core of De signis: inference from signs. Part III (Key Concepts and Specific Topics) scrutinises some of the fundamental concepts in De signis, alongside specific topics addressed in the treatise that help to further clarify its challenging columns. Part IV (Historical Context and Reception) addresses the historical and cultural context to which De signis belongs, as well as its ancient and modern reception (for instance, by Charles S. Peirce).

This volume brings together scholarly articles on Cicero’s Academics, one of the most significant works for the history of Platonism and for reconstructing the intense Hellenistic debate between the so-called Skeptical Academy and the Stoa concerning the possibility, nature, and limits of knowledge. The contributions are written by leading specialists in classical philology and the history of philosophy.The articles address all the central aspects of the dialogue, including its characters and themes, as well as the complex philological issues related to the text. Most importantly, they trace the Academics’ reception from antiquity through the medieval, modern, and contemporary periods, demonstrating the work’s enduring relevance to the history of epistemological thought in the Western philosophical tradition.This is the only volume entirely devoted to the Academics and their reception in the history of philosophy. While primarily intended for scholars of ancient philosophy, it will also appeal to anyone interested in the history of Platonism, Hellenistic philosophies, Cicero as a philosopher, ancient epistemology, and its reception in later periods.

Epicureanism is not only a defence of pleasure: it is also a philosophy of science and knowledge. This edited collection explores new pathways for the study of Epicurean scientific thought, a hitherto still understudied domain, and engages systematically and critically with existing theories. It shows that the philosophy of Epicurus and his heirs, from antiquity to the classical age, founded a rigorous and coherent conception of knowledge. This first part of a two-volume set examines more specifically the contribution of Epicureanism in the fields of language, medicine, and meteorology (i.e., celestial, geological and atmospheric phenomena).Offering a renewed image of Epicureanism, the book includes studies on the nature of human language and on the linguistic aspects of scientific discourse; on the relationship between Epicureanism and ancient medicine, from Hippocrates to Galen; on meteorological phenomena and the method of explaining them; and on the reception of Epicurus's legacy in Gassendi.Contributors: Julie Giovacchini (CNRS, Paris), Francesca Masi (Universita Ca' Foscari Venezia), Dino De Sanctis (Universita degli Studi della Tuscia), Chiara Rover (Universitat Hamburg/MCAS), Enrico Piergiacomi (Universitat Zurich), David Leith (University of Exeter), Vincenzo Damiani (Universitat Ulm), David Konstan (New York University), Voula Tsouna (UC Santa Barbara), Jurgen Hammerstaedt (Universitat zu Koeln), Craig Martin (Universita Ca' Foscari Venezia), Frederik Bakker (Radboud Universiteit)

New perspectives on Epicureanism in the fields of Epistemology and Ethics.Epicurean philosophy is a philosophy of knowledge, nature and pleasure. The second part of a two-volume set, this edited collection examines the core areas of Epicureanism : physiology, epistemology and ethics. The study is carried out from multiple perspectives: the reconstruction and analysis of primary sources, an examination of the debates and controversies surrounding the school of Epicurus, and a review of the reception of Epicurean philosophy. By challenging the widespread stereotype of Epicureanism as a dogmatic, closed system of thought, this volume offers a fresh outlook on this philosophy.The book includes studies of Epicureans linguistic theory and practice, many fundamental aspects of Epicurean epistemology, physiology and ethics and their reception, the communicative strategy of Epicurean works, and the relationship between philosophy and the sciences.

The first monograph entirely devoted to the Epicurean doctrine of minimal parts. The Epicurean doctrine of minimal parts (ta elachista) is a crucial aspect of Epicurus's philosophy and a genuine turning point compared to the ancient atomism of Leucippus and Democritus. This book consists of three chapters: a philological and theoretical analysis of the primary sources (Epicurus and Lucretius) of the doctrine, a reconstruction of its likely historical background (Xenocrates, Aristotle, Diodorus Cronus), and a close examination of the chiefly geometrical development of this theory within the philosophical school of Epicurus. The critical examination of ancient sources (including several Herculaneum Papyri), combined with a careful analysis of the secondary literature, reveals the very significant role played by minimal parts within the Epicurean science of nature. This is the first monograph entirely devoted to the study of this important doctrine in all its historical and theoretical breadth. Questo volume esamina la dottrina epicurea dei minimi (ta elachista) che rappresenta un nodo cruciale della filosofia di Epicuro e un autentico punto di svolta rispetto all'atomismo di Leucippo e Democrito. Il libro è organizzato in tre capitoli dedicati rispettivamente: (1) all'analisi filologica e teorica delle fonti primarie (Epicuro e Lucrezio), (2) alla ricostruzione del contesto storico-filosofico a cui la dottrina dei minimi verosimilmente fa riferimento (Senocrate, Aristotele e Diodoro Crono), e, infine, (3) all'approfondimento dello sviluppo della teoria dei minimi in ambito prevalentemente geometrico all'interno della scuola di Epicuro. L'esame critico delle fonti antiche (che riguardano anche alcuni Papiri Ercolanesi), anche attraverso l'attenta analisi della letteratura secondaria, conferma il ruolo decisivo giocato dai minimi nella scienza della natura epicurea. Si tratta della prima monografia interamente consacrata allo studio di questa significativa dottrina in tutta la sua ampiezza storica e teorica.
