Abstract

Jacob Taubes war ein Denker zwischen Judentum und westlicher Philosophie, die sich ihm von Parmenides bis Marx und Kierkegaard, Heidegger und Benjamin spannte, »von Ionien bis Jena«, wie er zu sagen pflegte. Er dachte existentiell, weil er sich in einer postkatastrophalen Zeit wusste, in der er Parallelen zur Spätantike erkennen wollte, in der Streit zwischen Christus und den Cäsaren herrsche. Religionsgeschichtliche Befunde benutzte er als ein Arsenal von Figuren und Konstellationen zur Veränderung der Gegenwart. Darauf richtete sich sein Interesse, denn er war mit der Moderne so entzweit wie die antiken Gnostiker mit ihrer Zeit. Taubes war auch ein begnadeter Polemiker, der keine Auseinandersetzung scheute, aber auch zu würdigen verstand. Die in diesem Band versammelten, teils bisher unpublizierten Schriften enthalten sowohl den ersten als auch den letzten von Taubes selbst für eine Publikation verfassten Text und umspannen den Zeitraum von 1942 bis 1987. Sie machen zahlreiche in englischer Sprache verfasste Abhandlungen in deutscher Übersetzung zugänglich und lassen sich sowohl als Einführung in Taubes' eschatologisches und gnostisches Denken als auch als Weiterführung seiner bereits vorliegenden Arbeiten lesen. Die Sammlung umfasst Kongress- und Rundfunkvorträge, Aufsätze, Vorworte, Interventionen, Buchbesprechungen und Würdigungen.

Abstract

The field of ancient Greek ethics is increasingly emerging as a major branch of philosophical enquiry, and students and scholars of ancient philosophy will find this Companion to be a rich and invaluable guide to the themes and movements which characterised the discipline from the Pre-Socratics to the Neo-Platonists. Several chapters are dedicated to the central figures of Plato and Aristotle, and others explore the ethical thought of the Stoics, the Epicureans, the Skeptics, and Plotinus. Further chapters examine important themes that cut across these schools, including virtue and happiness, friendship, elitism, impartiality, and the relationship between ancient eudaimonism and modern morality. Written by leading scholars and drawing on cutting-edge research to illuminate the questions of ancient ethics, the book will provide students and specialists with an indispensable critical overview of the full range of ancient Greek ethics.

Abstract

"The Atlas of Ancient Rome provides a comprehensive archaeological survey of the city of Rome from prehistory to the early medieval period. Lavishly illustrated throughout with full-color maps, drawings, photos, and 3D reconstructions, this magnificent two-volume slipcased edition features the latest discoveries and scholarship, with new descriptions of more than 500 monuments, including the Sanctuary of Vesta, the domus Augusti, and the Mausoleum of Augustus. It is destined to become the standard reference for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history of the city of Rome. The Atlas of Ancient Rome is monumental in scope. It examines the city's topography and political-administrative divisions, trade and economic production, and social landscape and infrastructure--from residential neighborhoods and gardens to walls, roads, aqueducts, and sewers. It describes the fourteen regions of Rome and the urban history of each in unprecedented detail, and includes profiles and reconstructions of major monuments and works of art. This is the only atlas of the ancient city to incorporate the most current archaeological findings and use the latest mapping technologies."
