Originally published in 1967. Ludwig Edelstein characterizes the idea of "progress" in Greek and Roman times. He analyzes the ancients' belief in "a tendency inherent in nature or in man to pass through a regular sequence of stages of development in past, present, and future, the latter stages being—with perhaps occasional retardations or minor regressions—superior to the earlier." Edelstein's contemporaries asserted that the Greeks and Romans were entirely ignorant of a belief in progress in this sense of the term. In arguing against this dominant thesis, Edelstein draws from the conclusions of scholars of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and discusses ideas of Auguste Comte and Wilhelm Dilthey.

"The agōn deemed characteristic of ancient Greek culture has roots in the eris (strife) illustrated in Homer and Hesiod and debated in the metaphysics of Heraclitus and Empedocles...This volume considers agōn from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, with a special emphasis on Western Greece - the ancient Hellenic cities of Sicily and Southern Italy."--Page 4 of cover.

The trilogy Forms of Representation in the Aristotelian Tradition investigates how Aristotle and his ancient and medieval successors understood the relation between the external world and the human mind. It gives an equal footing to the three most influential linguistic traditions - Greek, Latin, and Arabic - and offers insightful interpretations of historical theories of perception, dreaming, and thinking. This second volume focuses on dreaming and analyses some of the most prominent problems connected to dreams as representations. The contributions in this volume address the core Aristotelian texts and their reception, up to and including contemporary scientific discourse on dreaming.

The treatise De mundo offers a cosmology in the Peripatetic tradition which subordinates what happens in the cosmos to the might of an omnipotent god. Thus the work is paradigmatic for the philosophical and religious concepts of the early imperial age, which offer points of contact with nascent Christianity.

D’abord, la « Nature », avec ses composantes bigarrées, ses lois inexorables et ses principes aveugles ; et puis, au-dessus d’elle, la supplantant, l’écrasant, la « Société », recueil des expressions de l’ingéniosité humaine, somme des arrangements plus ou moins fi ables dont nous avons convenu entre nous. Ce schéma dualiste, dans lequel se concentre une partie de l’héritage idéaliste de la pensée philosophique occidentale, a joué un rôle central dans l’autocompréhension historique de la modernité. Certains hommes seraient devenus, justement, modernes, et ils auraient conféré cette qualité éminente à leurs idées, en particulier aux savoirs qu’ils se proposaient de développer, en séparant de façon tranchante Nature et Société. Ce faisant, ils les auraient rendues, dit-on, pensables l’une et l’autre. Le présent ouvrage prend le contre-pied de cette conception en développant deux motifs. Premièrement : la « modernité » s’est aussi construite autour de positions qui insistaient sur l’appartenance des êtres humains à l’ordre englobant de la Nature, qui, par exemple, illustraient la continuité entre les savoirs visant le corps organique et le corps social. Deuxièmement : cette modernité-là ne rompt nullement avec l’Antiquité. Car les Grecs et les Latins n’ont pas seulement institué ce partage ; ils se sont aussi inquiétés de sa valeur et de ses limites – ils l’ont discuté, déplacé, dissout, refondé, à mesure qu’ils entendaient justifier de nouveaux savoirs, les séparer d’autres ou les unir en de nouvelles continuités. Ainsi se substitue à la césure moderne le temps long d’une histoire où la multiplicité des façons de faire et de défaire cette frontière accompagne depuis l’Antiquité la production des savoirs. Nous héritons dès lors d’une autre histoire que celle que nous nous sommes racontée. Faudra-t-il renoncer à trier les êtres ou les processus selon qu’ils paraissent relever plutôt de l’existence naturelle ou de l’artificialité sociale ? Il suffira de désinvestir ce…
