Historia del pensamiento filosófico y científico

Saint Augustine

Confessioni

This book covers the first 500 years of the common era. These years witnessed the revivals of Aristotelianism, Epicureanism, Pyrrhonism, Cynicism, and Pythagoreanism; but by far the most important movement was the revival of Platonism under Plotinus. Here, the historical context of Plotinus is provided including the currents of thought that preceded him and opened the path for him. The presuppositions of the Enneads are made explicit and the thought of Plotinus is reconstructed. The author reorients the expositions of Middle Platonism and neo-Pythagoreanism. He provides a full exposition of Hermeticism and the doctrines of the Chaldean Oracles. He also defends the notion that Philo of Alexandria nourished a Jewish philosophy, not an eclectic mixture.

A History of Ancient Philosophy IV

Qualche studente si è talvolta lamentato con me di non trovare nella filosofia risposte definitive, come desiderava. E la stessa cosa mi è stata detta più volte da varie persone, che respingevano la filosofia per le sue contraddizioni. In risposta, io citavo loro un pungente aforisma di Nicolás Gómez Dávila: “la filosofia è proprio l’arte di contraddirsi reciprocamente senza annullarsi”; e, aggiungevo, non solo senza annullarsi, ma arricchendosi dialetticamente proprio in questo contraddirsi. L’uomo può trovare nella filosofia quelle ali che gli permettono di volare molto in alto, e di realizzare, in questo continuo cercare, la sua vera natura.

Mi sono innamorato della filosofia

John R. Catan

Beginning with the origins of Western philosophy, the profound creation of the Hellenic genius, Reale presents an appreciation of the Naturalists, the Sophists, Socrates, and the Minor Socratics. Special attention is paid to the Eleatics because their problems decisively mark Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy. Interpretation of the Sophists benefits from the recent reevaluation of their thought. Socrates himself would be inconceivable without the Sophists since he is one of them. Socrates is given major prominence. Plato, Aristotle, and all of Hellenistic philosophy are deeply impregnated with his words and spirit. The teachings of the Minor Socratics are interpreted as one-sided reductions of the pluralistic values of Socratic thought and as anticipations of some issues that explode later in the Hellenistic Age. There are two appendices. The first concerns Orphism and contains a series of documents indispensable for the comprehension of some aspects of pre-Socratic and Platonic thought. The second explains the key to understanding the message of the Greeks--the message of "theorein".

Il concetto di filosofia prima e l'unità della metafisica di Aristotele

rilettura della metafisica dei grandi dialoghi alla luce delle "Dottrine non scritte"

Per una nuova interpretazione di Platone

Esta obra propõe-se levar a cabo, mediante rigorosa análise textual dos Diálogos de Platão, a demonstração da tese formulada, desde fins da década de 1950, pela Escola de Tubingen (cujos representantes principais são H.-J. Kramer e Konrad Gaiser), segundo a qual é necessário pôr as doutrinas não-escritas (ágrapha dógmata) no centro da exegese filosófica da obra escrita de Platão para que, desses textos, possa emergir a primeira e mais audaz construção metafísica da filosofia ocidental. A tese dos mestres de Tubingen é apresentada por G. Reale como uma revolução científica (no sentido de Th. S. Kuhn) na historiografia filosófica do platonismo. Se pensarmos na posição arquetipal de Platão na história da filosofia ocidental, é toda a história da filosofia que passa a ser lida sob nova luz. A tese de Kramer e Gaiser introduz um novo paradigma hermenêutico a ser aplicado à leitura dos Diálogos, e esse paradigma tende a tornar obsoleto o paradigma até agora vigente, aquele que sustentava a ciência normal do platonismo nos dois últimos séculos. Em torno do novo paradigma hermenêutico para a leitura de Platão, os estudiosos se dividiram. O livro de Reale é um passo importante e talvez definitivo para a recuperação das doutrinas não-escritas e de sua articulação com as linhas fundamentais do pensamento de Platão, tal como pode ser reconstituído a partir dos Diálogos. Mas seria ingênuo supor que a tarefa hermenêutica em torno do texto de Platão tenha, enfim, resolvido seus grandes problemas. A bibliografia platônica é um campo sem fim, justamente porque o texto de Platão e tudo o que nos foi legado em seu nome formam um tesouro inesgotável. Desse tesouro, Reale nos oferece agora uma soma rara de riquezas. Muitas ficam por descobrir. O livro reúne os méritos de uma exposição clara e conduzida com habilidade didática, capaz de atingir não só o círculo dos especialistas, mas os mais amplos círculos de interessados em filosofia, a par da originalidade de seu impulso científico, que amplia e aprofunda, em várias direções, a interpretação de Platão. A presente obra constitui a contribuição filosoficamente mais relevante ao novo paradigma dos estudos sobre Platão e marco de fundação da Escola de Milão de estudos platônicos.

eine Auslegung der Metaphysik der grossen Dialoge im Lichte der "ungeschriebenen Lehren"

Zu einer neuen Interpretation Platons

Il pensiero antico

In this book Reale presents Plato and Aristotle. At the center of Reales interpretation of Plato is the fulcrum of the supersensible, the metaphysical discovery that Plato presented as a result of the Second Voyage. This discovery of the supersensible is, in Reales view, not only the fundamental phase of ancient thought, but it also constitutes a milestone on the path of western philosophy. Reale presents Plato in three different dimensions: the theoretic, the mystical-religious, and the political. Each of these components takes on meaning from the Second Voyage. In addition, Reale has shown that only in the light of the Unwritten Doctrines handed down through the indirect tradition, do these three components, and the Second Voyage itself, acquire their full meaning, and only in this way is a unitary conception of Platos thought achieved. The interpretation of Aristotle that Reale proposes depends on his interpretation of Plato. Aristotle read without preconceptions is not the antithesis of Plato. Reale points out that Aristotle was unique among thinkers close to Plato, in being the one who developed, at least in part, his Second Voyage. The systematic-unitary interpretation of Aristotle which Reale has previously supported converges with the new systematic-unitary interpretation of Plato. Certain doctrinal positions which are usually reserved to treatments in monographs will be explored, because only in this way can the two distinctive traits of Aristotles thought emerge: the way in which he tries to overcome and confirm the Socratic-Platonic positions, and the way in which he formally creates the system of philosophical knowledge.

Plato and Aristotle

History of Ancient Philosophy II, A

Reales monumental work establishes the exact dimensions of Aristotles concept of first philosophy and proves the profound unity of concept that exists in Aristotles Metaphysics. Reales opposition to the genetic interpretation of the Metaphysics is an updated return to a more traditional view of Aristotles work, one which runs counter to nearly all contemporary scholarship. Reale argues that Aristotles first philosophy includes a study of being, a study of substance, a study of divine substance, and a study of principles and causes, all of which are integrated and dialectically reconciled.

Concept of First Philosophy and the Unity of the Metaphysics of Aristotle, The

Reales volume supplies a synthesis previously lackinga synthesis in the historical treatment of the great philosophies of the Hellenistic Age: the Academy, the Peripatos, the Stoa, the Garden of Epicurus, Scepticism, and Eclecticism. Reales extensive and fully documented treatment of the major schools of the period is unified by his thesis that the ethics developed by these major schools were secular faiths that sprang from intuitions about the meaning of life first emotionally grasped and then systematically and rationally developed. It is for this reason that the teachings of these schools endured almost continuously for about 500 years. It is for the same reason that the founders of the schools were considered gods and were actually, in a certain sense, the saints of secular faiths and religions. In this book, Reale traces the decline of the philosophical schools of the classical period, the post-Platonic Academy, the post-Aristotelian Peripatos, and the minor socratic schools. The destruction of the polis and the incapacity of the schools to address the concerns of the new age were the fertile grounds from which the new schools developed. The Garden of Epicurus, the Porch of Zeno, and the sceptical movement initiated by Pyrrho form the core of the volume. The volume contains a select bibliography and an index of names and Greek terms, as well as an index of citations.
