Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - This edition of volume I in the series Rutgers University Studies in Classical Humanities concerns Hellenistic ethics. Its particrdar focus is the compendium of Stoic and Peripatetic ethics attributed to Arius Didymus, court philosopher to the Roman emperor Caesar Augustus. Arius was admired in antiquity for his Consolatio addressed to Livia. Augustus' wife, on the death of her son Drusus. He was also known for having advised Augustus to spare the inhabitants of Alexandria when that city fell to the army of Augustus. Arius was, then, an important advisor to a powerful emperor: he held the position that Plato dreamed of and Kant recommended. He advised the ruler of the Mediterranean world and practiced an ethics based on his knowledge of Hellenistic philosophy. That knowledge is discussed in On Stoic and Peripatetic Ethics. -- Prior to the publication of On Stoic and Peripatetic Ethics. Arius was best known in the English-speaking world for fragments concerning physical philosophy. There were some works in German and Italian but discussion in English was meager and largely inconsequential. Within the English-speaking world, there is now a significant and growing body of scholarly literature on Arius compendium. Far from supplanting the present volume, this body of literature underlines the importance of the volume and builds on issues raised in it. -- The contents and contributors of this invaluable volume include: Charles H. Kahn. Arius as a Doxographer: David E. Hahm. "The Diaeretic Method and the Purpose of Arius Doxography: Anthony A. Long. "Arius Didymus and the Exposition of Stoic Ethics: Margaret E. Reesor.
