Abstract

Rhetoric and philosophy both constituted the main elements of literary education in the Greco-Roman world of the second century A.D. The present study deals with the relationship between both disciplines in Second Sophistic literature: Did there still exist a conflict between rhetors and philosophers in this time, or had the famous debate that originated from Plato's attack on the sophists ceased already for centuries? The author of this study tries to give an answer to this question: first examining the literary evidence of second century literature in general, then focussing on Fronto and Marcus Aurelius as the two most distinct participants in the debate, he proves that in the second century A. D. rhetoric and philosophy were totally in harmony with each other and that consequently Marc Aurelius never abandoned rhetoric for philosophy. Rhetorik und Philosophie bestimmen das Bildungsverständnis wie auch den Literaturbetrieb im römischen Reich der Hohen Kaiserzeit. In diesem Buch wird die Frage erörtert, in welchem Verhältnis beide Dis- ziplinen im 2. Jh. n. Chr. zueinander standen: War es ein harmonisches Verhältnis, oder wirkte die seit Platon bestehende Rivalität zwischen Philosophen und Rhetoren bis in diese Zeit nach? Der Autor untersucht im ersten Teil des Buches das Verhältnis zwischen Rhetorik und Philosophie im generellen soziokulturellen und literarischen Umfeld der Hohen Kaiserzeit, im zweiten Teil das Verhältnis zwischen zwei exponierten literarischen Gestalten dieser Zeit, nämlich zwischen dem Philosophenkaiser Marc Aurel und seinem Rhetoriklehrer Fronto. Im Gegensatz zur communis opinio der neueren Forschung kann der Autor aufgrund detaillierter philologischer Analyse nachweisen, dass es im 2. Jahrhundert keinen Konflikt zwischen Rhetoren und Philosophen mehr gab und dass auch Marc Aurel sich niemals von der Rhetorik abwandte. Das Buch richtet sich in erster Linie an ein Fachpublikum aus den Disziplinen der Klassischen Philologie und Alten Geschichte, darüber hinaus aber auch an all diejenigen, die sich für die Kultur und Literatur der römischen Kaiserzeit sowie für die Gestalt des Philosophenkaisers Marc Aurel interessieren.

Abstract

The main argument of this book, against a prevailing orthodoxy, is that the study of logic was a vital - and a popular - part of stoic philosophy in the early imperial period. The argument relies primarily on detailed analyses of certain texts in the Discourses of Epictetus. It includes some account of logical 'analysis', of 'hypothetical' reasoning, and of 'changing' arguments. Written both for historians and for philosophers, and presupposing no logical expertise, this is an important contribution to the history of philosophy in the early imperial period.

Abstract

The longest war of the Roman imperial period is the war Marcus Aurelius waged with the northern German and Sarmatian tribes. The best-known events of these wars were the lightning and rain miracles. Divine intervention saved the Roman troops who were surrounded by the Germans and suffering from a water shortage, by means of a lightning and rain miracle. Thunderbolts struck the enemy while the rain soothed the Romans’ suffering. Several pagan and Christian versions of the miracle existed already in Antiquity. Péter Kovács examines these events and their sources in detail. The most important source is the Column of Marcus Aurelius in Rome. The scenes of the column depict the miracles as well and therefore it was studied separately. The author also sketches the history of the Marcomannic wars. He publishes all the sources of the miracles and examines the development of the legend from Antiquity to the 14th century.
