Abstract

Roman Stoic thinkers in the imperial period adapted Greek doctrine to create a model of the self that served to connect philosophical ideals with traditional societal values. The Roman Stoics-the most prominent being Marcus Aurelius-engaged in rigorous self-examination that enabled them to integrate philosophy into the practice of living. Gretchen Reydams-Schils's innovative new book shows how these Romans applied their distinct brand of social ethics to everyday relations and responsibilities. 'The Roman Stoics' reexamines the philosophical basis that instructed social practice in friendship, marriage, parenting, and community. From this analysis emerge Stoics who were neither cold nor detached, as the stereotype has it, but all too aware of their human weaknesses. In a valuable contribution to current discussions in the humanities on identity, autonomy, and altruism, Reydams-Schils ultimately conveys the wisdom of Stoics to the citizens of modern society.

Abstract

Until recently, Hugo Grotius has been conspicuously absent in studies of the revival of Stoic philosophy in the 16th and 17th centuries. Dominant models of Neo-stoicism have emphasised the aesthetic and literary innovations, or the bureaucratic applications of the works of Seneca and Tacitus. The moral, legal and political forms of Stoicism in the formative years of the Westphalian System have still to be acknowledged, as goes for the presence of Stoicism in its most innovative intellectual representative: Hugo Grotius (1583-1645). Hugo Grotius’s lasting contribution comes under three headings. He gave the laws of nature a sure footing in the new international order. He pleaded for the uncovering of universal concepts of common human understanding, which formed the basis for his ecumenical endeavours. Thirdly, Grotius was aware of the limited powers of man, given the determination and order of the world. Together, these three intellectual stances are definitely Stoic, and they illustrate the importance of Stoic philosophy in the early Dutch republic. Grotius, nonetheless, is not a Stoic philosopher, if only because he eschewed ‘isms’, and portrayed himself as an eclectic, bringing together the common wisdom of mankind, that on which the schools of philosophy agree, rather than allying himself dogmatically. Within this eclecticism, however, Stoicisms loom large. This book is about these Stoicisms within Grotius’ thought. It is written by specialists on Grotius’ thought and on intellectual and legal history and political thought of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The volume traces the development of Neo-stoicism through Justus Lipsius and its further fate in the writings of Grotius, his contemporaries and his followers.

Abstract

Grâce aux fouilles conduites par H Kerèbel. Fanum Martis, actuel Corseul, se dévoile peu à peu. Sur la réserve archéologique de Monterfil II, un vaste ensemble commercial et artisanal a été mis au jour, sur près de 5000 m2, le long d’un axe majeur du chef-lieu de la cité des Coriosolites. Il a ainsi été possible de suivre, de 15/10 av. n è. au IVe s. ap., l’évolution architecturale et topographique du quartier. Le mobilier recueilli, comptant une grande proportion d’estampilles italiques et d’amphores de Lipari, atteste que la cité fut un important marché où s’échangeaient des produits d’origine méditerranéenne. L’étude des vestiges est étayée par une analyse métrologique, menée par un architecte archéologue, qui a notamment permis la restitution des élévations régies par l’ordre toscan. Si Corseul offre encore un vaste champ d’investigations possibles, la fouille de Monterfil II précise désormais comment furent mis en place, sous le règne d’Auguste, le parcellaire urbain et les emprises des domaines public et privé. Under the direction of H. Kértbel, excavation on the site of Fanum Martis. present-day Corseul, has gradually revealed a vast trading and crafts centre within the archaeological protection area of Monterfil II. Uncovering a surface area of over 5000 m2 along the major axis of the former Coriosolati capital has enabled archaeologists to discern architectural and topographical changes which took place in this quarter from 15/10 BCE to the 4th century CE. The finds, which include a high proportion of Italian potters’ marks and Lipari amphorae, attest to the significance ot the town as a marketplace for items produced throughout the Mediterranean Basin. A metrological analysis of the remains, earned out by an archaeologist trained in architecture, has served as the basis for a reconstruction of elevations governed by the Tuscan order. Although there is still much work to be done in Corseul. the excavation carried out thus far at Monterfil II has shown…
