Rainer Nickel is in this book the Greek Aesop, Aeschylus, Archilochus, Aristophanes, Aristotle, Demosthenes, Epicurus, Euripides, Herodotus, Hesiod, Hippocrates, Homer, Callimachus, Menander, Pindar, Plato, Plutarch, Sappho, Sophocles , Theocritus, Thucydides and Xenophon before. be for each of such persons' name, biographical data, the literary genre in which they moved and the works listed above. Then we learn who was the person what they wrote and how the works of individual writers were handed down. How are the works by each of them continued to live and what geblieben ist, wird auch immer genannt. Schön, dass man Gelegenheit erhält, sich in übersetzte Textstellen zu vertiefen.
Sehr anschaulich wird erklärt, wie in Athen bei den Festen zu Ehren des Gottes Dionysos im Rahmen eines Wettstreites Tragödien, Komödien und Satyrspiele aufgeführt wurden. Auch erhält man gute Einblicke in einzelne Werke. So erfährt man, dass im Prolog der "Lysistrate" von Aristophanes sich die Protagonistin und andere Frauen unterschiedlicher griechischer Städte und Landschaften getroffen haben, um eine Friedensinitiative zu beraten. Die Frauen vereinbaren, ihren Männern den Geschlechtsverkehr zu verweigern, bis diese bereit sind, Frieden zu schließen.., (See: p. 32). Interesting to know that this play was performed in a critical situation during a war for Athens. At that time, democracy was suspended. At this time there was an emergency government. Although the piece with the foreign and domestic political circumstances of those days is related, but it is intelligible in themselves, not for the "Peloponnesian War" alone, but the war as such the issue, (see: p. 33) . Impressed
I'm from the excellent summary of the works Aristioteles. The author has succeeded in a few pages the reader thinking of the great philosophers to get close and its ethical Considerations explain well understood. No easy task.
I like that you have cited the following thoughts of Aristotle, to be read at the beginning of his "metaphysics", "All men by nature seek to know .. This is evident because it senses the very high eighth;. because they are valued, irrespective of its value high, and for others especially the vision for not only to act, but also where we plan to do nothing, we give the look of all the senses to some extent the advantage of the ground. for this is that we have this sensation most to enable them to gain knowledge and also opens up a lot of differences "(quote p. 47).
Especially in the age of Internet communication should be the thought of Aristotle, lead again in mind the effect may in dialogue with a third party the fact that this is not. can see significant misperceptions of the other person and, unfortunately, tensions in virtual discussions held.
Epicurus, whose texts I have written a review is very well outlined.
As part of Euripides considerations will be fine with his "Iphigenia in Aulis" familiar. It the motives of the author explained why he wrote the work. As you read Euripides wanted to make aware in the first place the decision situation of the commander Agamemnon in their inevitability and cruelty, (see: p. 70).
very well you will be informed about the life and works of Hippocrates. I was not aware that he has written such a large number of fonts. His oldest and most important are mentioned in the book and explain briefly what is in the individual texts. "The Hippocratic Oath" can be read in a translation by Hans Diller, (see: p. 91).
Homer and his works "Iliad" and "Odyssey" one becomes acquainted with and experience in this context, what is meant by the dactylic hexameter has. interesting to read what you said May Horkheimer and Adorno Theordor in their Dialectic of Enlightenment "in reference to Homer's Odysseus, (see: p. 101).
It is impossible for 22 over all authors that are illuminated in the book, write something on this. I especially appreciated by Plato and his works are impressive distinction to the reader. Forgetting is not the explanation of the "cave allegory" because one should look on the conscious in its cognitive value. The "Symposium" is summarized by the way impressive, the dialogue Phaedo is well represented.
Thinking in ideas is an essential element of the Platonic philosophy. After Plato's idea of man has in itself a knowledge of the "words", and "shapes". This knowledge has the consequence that one can perceive the multiplicity of phenomena differences. This is due to learned that the soul can be seen in their pre-existence of the "idea" of "equality" and think, has (vgl.S 128).
Delighted I am that the beloved of me, Plutarch is one of the 22 authors listed in the book and that his "Moralia" has given a focus. In his double biography "aims to Plutarch from the private, personal, mundane and unspectacular. His program of "Synanthropie," the willingness to live as a man among men, describes a property that the modern development of psychology as a "we-intentionality to act together" and is the constituting as the characteristic of man is considered, (see: S . 138). In a globalized world, Plutarch is therefore as current as almost 2,000 years ago.
gives a good overview to get in Hnblick to the works of Sophocles, specifically to "Antigone" and "Oedipus Rex".
About the poet Sappho we learn among other things, that she wrote her poems in the Aeolian dialect and their verses in nine books were collected in the library of Alexandria. You learn about poem fragments including the one where it focuses on the physical symptoms of passion. "... Because if I only look at short, I put no sound out, my tongue has failed me, once I trickle a gently burning fire under the skin ,..", (see: p. 143) .
If you read the poem fragment, it is clear that does not change under the sun, mainly the emotional life of our people do not.
