"Plutarch of Chaeronea is one of the most influential and fascinating authors of antiquity. His Parallel Lives and Moralia are storehouses of challenging questions, valuable insights and interesting observations. Moreover, they contain a wealth of quotations from and references to earlier writers and traditions and thus provide one of the richest gateways to the ancient world. This book introduces the reader to Plutarch's life and to the different facets of his variegating thinking and writing, such as his tremendous erudition, his Platonism and (moral) philosophy, his interpretation of history and his view of God. Above all, Plutarch stands out as a particularly clever and subtle thinker, driven by a spirit of painstaking enquiry (zetestis) that show authentic and impressive intellectual honesty and sincere love of the truth. In this respect, as in many others, he remains an inspiring model even for us today."--Back cover.

ll ne fait plus doute aujourd'hui que Plutarque de Chéronée (~ 45-125) représente une figure marquante dans l’histoire du platonisme. Les Oeuvres morales contiennent plusieurs textes d’une importance capitale pour notre compréhension de la philosophie platonicienne à l’époque impériale. Penseur étonnant, Plutarque n’est toutefois pas uniquement philosophe. Vers 96, il accède à la prêtrise delphique, une fonction hautement honorifique. Cette rencontre entre le philosophe platonicien et le prêtre de Delphes s’est traduite de manière unique dans une série de textes regroupés traditionnellement sous l’appellation de Dialogues pythiques, comprenant Sur l’E de Delphes, Sur les oracles de la Pythie et Sur la disparition des oracles. Le présent ouvrage tente une analyse de ces Dialogues pythiques qui met à l’avant-plan le caractère logique autant que pythique des textes. Chacun des dialogues étudiés se présente en effet comme une recherche commune sur une réalité delphique. Cette recherche n’est pourtant pas d’ordre religieux et l’argumentaire déployé par Plutarque fait appel à des thèmes spécifiquement platoniciens. Il s’agit là d’une caractéristique centrale des Dialogues pythiques qui proposent une synthèse inédite entre le lieu de Delphes et le discours platonicien. Le contexte delphique permet à Plutarque de se questionner sur les dieux et les humains, ainsi que sur les figures intermédiaires qui se situent entre leurs deux univers et qui rendent possible la divination, expression par excellence de la providence divine. Cheminant dans le sanctuaire autant que dans l’argumentaire, le lecteur voit Plutarque en constant dialogue avec les doctrines rivales de l’épicurisme et du stoïcisme. Il découvre alors des textes où la philosophie permet une défense du sanctuaire et où le lieu de Delphes devient lui-même propice à l’étude, au dialogue, bref à la philosophie. Grâce aux Dialogues pythiques, le sanctuaire de Delphes n’est plus uniquement le centre du monde, il est aussi le centre d’une véritable sagesse philosophique.

"The Greek biographer and philosopher Plutarch of Chaeronea (c. 45-125 AD) makes a fascinating case-study for reception studies not least because of his uniquely extensive and diverse afterlife. Brill's Companion to the Reception of Plutarch offers the first comprehensive analysis of Plutarch's rich reception history from the Roman Imperial period through Late Antiquity and Byzantium to the Renaissance, Enlightenment and the modern era. The thirty-seven chapters that make up this volume, written by a remarkable line-up of experts, explore the appreciation, contestation and creative appropriation of Plutarch himself, his thought and work in the history of literature across various cultures and intellectual traditions in Europe, America, North Africa, and the Middle East. Contributors are: Eran Almagor, Arkadiy Avdokhin, Francesco Becchi, Paul Bishop, Mauro Bonazzi, Michele Curnis, Aileen Das, Eudoxia Delli, Miryana Dimitrova, Christopher Edelman, Stephanos Efthymiadis, Françoise Frazier, Michael Grünbart, Olivier Guerrier, Isobel Hurst, Katarzyna Jażdżewska, Theofili Kampianaki, Frieda Klotz, Pauline Koetschet, Florin Leonte, Michele Lucchesi, Francesco Manzini, Sébastien Morlet, András Németh, Katerina Oikonomopoulou, Marianne Pade, Aurelio Pérez Jiménez, Inmaculada Pérez Martín, Diether Roderich Reinsch, David Ricks, Alberto Rigolio, Geert Roskam, Thomas Schmidt, Elsa Giovanna Simonetti, Alicia Simpson, Fabio Stok, Maria Vamvouri Ruffy, Sophia Xenophontos"--

This volume of collected essays explores the premise that Plutarch's work, notwithstanding its amazing thematic multifariousness, constantly pivots on certain ideological pillars which secure its unity and coherence. So, unlike other similar books which, more or less, concentrate on either the Lives or the Moralia or on some particular aspect(s) of Plutarch's œuvre, the articles of the present volume observe Plutarch at work in both Lives and Moralia, thus bringing forward and illustrating the inner unity of his varied literary production. The subject-matter of the volume is uncommonly wide-ranging and the studies collected here inquire into many important issues of Plutarchean scholarship: the conditions under which Plutarch's writings were separated into two distinct corpora, his methods of work and the various authorial techniques employed, the interplay between Lives and Moralia, Plutarch and politics, Plutarch and philosophy, literary aspects of Plutarch's œuvre, Plutarch on women, Plutarch in his epistemological and socio-historical context. In sum, this book brings Plutarchean scholarship to date by revisiting and discussing older and recent problematization concerning Plutarch, in an attempt to further illuminate his personality and work.

Plutarch of Chaeronea, Platonist, polymath, and prolific writer, was by no means an armchair philosopher. He believed in the necessity for a philosopher to affect the lives of his fellow citizens. That urge inspired many of his writings to meet what he considered people''s true needs. Although these writings on practical ethics illustrate in various ways Plutarch''s authorial talents and raise many challenging questions (regarding their overall structure, content, purpose, and underlying philosophical and social presuppositions), they have attracted only limited scholarly attention.

La 4e de couverture indique :"L'oeuvre de Plutarque a communément été utilisée comme source historique sans que l'on se soit toujours interrogé sur la nature, le sens et les modalités de la démarche du biographe de Chéronée. Cet ouvrage vise à mieux cerner la spécificité de l'écriture historico-biographique de Plutarque et à contribuer au renouveau actuel des études plutarquiennes. S'appuyant sur une approche résolument interdisciplinaire visant à distinguer le noyau historique du récit des constructions littéraires, les auteurs espèrent contribuer à une meilleure compréhension de la nature de l'oeuvre de façon à éviter les erreurs méthodologiques qu'a parfois favorisées dans le passé la confusion des genres. Ont particulièrement été explorés la tension entre rhétorique et Histoire, la place du mythe dans le récit, les processus d'idéalisation des vertus dans les Vies et les Moralia, les sources d'informations inattendues que peuvent constituer pour l'historien les écrits de Plutarque."
