Ancient Roman philosophy: Discourses by Epictetus [OF SURRENDER TO THE WILL OF GOD] HAVE I ever been restrained from what I willed? Or compelled against my will? How is this possible? I have arranged my pursuits under the direction of God. Is it His will that I should have a fever? It is my will too. Is it His will that I should pursue anything? It is my will too. Is it His will that I should desire? It is my will too. Is it His will that I should obtain anything? It is mine too. Is it not His will? It is not mine. Is it His will that I should be tortured? Then it is my will to be tortured. Is it His will that I should die? Then it is my will to die. He has given me whatever depends upon choice. The things in my power He has made incapable of hindrance or restraint. But how could He make a body of clay incapable of hindrance? Therefore He hath subjected my body, possessions, furniture, house, children, wife, to the revolution of the universe. He who gave takes away. For whence had I these things when I came into the world? 'But I would enjoy the feast still longer.' So perhaps would the spectators at Olympia see more combatants. But the solemnity is over. Go away. Depart like a grateful and modest person; make room for others.

146. Ancient Rome - Philosophy Overview of ancient Roman philosophy by Richard Hooker. http://www.crystalinks.com/romephilosophy.html

ANCIENT ROMAN PHILOSOPHY The single most important philosophy in Rome was Stoicism, which originated in Hellenistic Greece. The contents of the philosophy were particularly amenable to the Roman world view, especially since the Stoic insistence on acceptance of all situations, including adverse ones, seemed to reproduce what the Romans considered their crowning achievement: virtus, or "manliness," or "toughness." The centerpiece of Stoic philosophy was the concept of the logos. The universe is ordered by God and this order is the logos , which means "rational order" or "meaning" of the universe. After the death of Zeno of Citium, the Stoic school was headed by Cleanthes and Chrysippus, and its teachings were carried to Rome in 155 by Diogenes of Babylon. There its tenets were made popular by Panaetius, friend of the great general Scipio Aemilianus, and by Posidonius, who was a friend of Pompey (see your textbook if you don't recognize these names); Cicero drew heavily on the works of both. Stoic ideas appear in the greatest work of Roman literature, Vergil's

148. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa A religious and educational charity, (Reg.No.801629,) established on 7th October, 1987CE to promote the ancient teachings and philosophy of Odin. Located in London, England. http://www.gippeswic.demon.co.uk/odinshof.html

ODINSHOF: THE WAY OF THE RAVEN. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: * Presenting the Northern Tradition to the general public, including those familiar with paganism; * Working with the Olgar Trust to purchase woodland for conservation and ritual use; * Training Heathen priests and priestesses. THE FIRST DECADE The Odinshof is a religious and educational charity, (Reg.No.801629,) established on 7th October, 1987CE to promote the ancient teachings and philosophy of Odin. As a Heathen organisation the Odinshof acknowledges all other Germano-Celtic deities of old Europe. To those who regard Odin, (Old English ‘Woden,’ ) as a historical character, he probably lived around 250BCE as the head of a Transylvanian Celtic tribe in an area that was called Tylis. Some of Odin’s teachings can be found as part of an ancient poem called the Havamal, meaning the ‘sayings of the High One’ (Odin.) It was written down about 700 years ago by an Icelandic scribe and a copy was preserved in Denmark. (It was later returned to Iceland.) It records a much earlier oral tradition. Odin is credited with finding the magical Futhark runic ‘alphabet.’ Runes are far older than the period when he lived on earth, but 250BCE seems to be the approximate date when they passed to Germanic speaking tribes. Wednesday and the place ‘Wednesbury’ are named after Woden. Nine days after the Constitution of the Odinshof was signed by co-founders Martyn Taylor and John Broughton in Grimston, Norfolk, the great hurricane swept across Britain on its way to the North Pole. Nine is a particularly magical number for followers of Odin ('Odinists,') as it is recorded in part of the Havamal that he hung on the world tree for nine long nights to discover the secrets of the runes. Since the founding days the Odinshof has evolved considerably from a group of friends to become a registered charity.

151. Ancient Greek Skepticism [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] An article on skepticism in ancient Greece from the Internet Encyclopedia of philosophy, by Harald Thorsrud of Temple University. http://www.iep.utm.edu/s/skepanci.htm

Ancient Greek Skepticism Although all skeptics in some way cast doubt on our ability to gain knowledge of the world, the term 'skeptic' actually covers a wide range of attitudes and positions. There are skeptical elements in the views of many Greek philosophers, but the term 'ancient skeptic' is generally applied either to a member of Plato's Academy during its skeptical period (c. 273 B.C.E to 1st century B.C.E.) or to a follower of Pyrrho (c. 365 to 270 B.C.E.). Pyrrhonian skepticism flourished from Aenesidemus' revival (1st century B.C.E.) to Sextus Empiricus, who lived sometime in the 2nd or 3rd centuries C.E. Thus the two main varieties of ancient skepticism: Academic and Pyrrhonian. The term 'skeptic' derives from a Greek noun, skepsis, which means examination, inquiry, consideration. What leads most skeptics to begin to examine and then eventually to be at a loss as to what one should believe, if anything, is the fact of widespread and seemingly endless disagreement regarding issues of fundamental importance. Many of the arguments of the ancient skeptics were developed in response to the positive views of their contemporaries, especially the Stoics and Epicureans,

153. Boethius, C.475-524 A brief biography with a selection from The Consolation of philosophy. http://www.historyguide.org/ancient/boethius.html

Boethius, c.475-524 Anicius Manlius Severinus, better known as Boethius, was born of a consular family and studied philosophy, mathematics and poetry. Soon after 500 he was appointed a court minister by the Gothic king, Theodoric, now ruling Italy from Rome. Boethius was made consul in 510, and his two sons shared the same honor in 522. But his boldness brought down upon his head the vengeance of those whom he had checked in their oppressions. He was accused of treasonable designs against Theodoric, was stripped of his dignities, and, after imprisonment and torture at Pavia, was executed in 524. During his imprisonment he wrote his famous De Consolatione Philosophiae (a selection of which follows), in which the author holds a conversation with Philosophy, who shows him the mutability of all earthly fortune, and the insecurity of everything save virtue. The work, which in style imitates the best Augustan models, is theistic in its language, but affords no indication that that its writer was in fact a Christian. Boethius was the last great Roman writer who understood Greek and his translations of Aristotle were long the only means of studying Greek philosophy. His manuals on arithmetic, astronomy, geometry and music were generally used in medieval schools. The following selection is intended to give you a brief "taste" of Boethius. With any luck, you will find yourself buried in the world of the

157. The Academy [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] Brief article on the development of this ancient school. http://www.iep.utm.edu/a/academy.htm

The Academy Philosophical institution founded by Plato, which advocated skepticism in succeeding generations. The Academy ( Academia Academia is frequently used in philosophical writings, especially in Cicero, as indicative of the Academic sect. Sextus Empiricus enumerates five divisions of the followers of Plato. He makes Plato founder of the first Academy, Aresilaus of the second, Carneades of the third, Philo and Charmides of the fourth, Antiochus of the fifth. Cicero recognizes only two Academies, the Old and the New, and makes the latter commence as above with Arcesilaus. In enumerating those of the old Academy, he begins, not with Plato, but Democritus, and gives them in the following order: Democritus, Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Parmenides, Xenophanes, Socrates, Plato, Speusippus, Xenocrates, Polemo, Crates, and Crantor. In the New, or Younger, he mentions Arcesilaus, Lacydes, Evander, Hegesinus, Carneades, Clitomachus, and Philo ( Acad. Quaest. iv. 5). If we follow the distinction laid down by Diogenes, and alluded to above, the Old Academy will consist of those followers of Plato who taught the doctrine of their master without mixture or corruption; the Middle will embrace those who, by certain innovations in the manner of philosophizing, in some measure receded from the Platonic system without entirely deserting it; while the New will begin with those who relinquished the more questionable tenets of Arcesilaus, and restored, in come measure, the declining reputation of the Platonic school.

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.07.06 James A. Arieti, Philosophy in the Ancient World. An Introduction Reviewed by Giannis P. Stamatellos (gstamap@yahoo.com) Word count: 1368 words James A. Arieti in his introductory book on Philosophy in the Ancient World successfully includes in a single volume the whole intellectual history of the ancient Greek world from the eighth century BC with the mythological, political and cultural ancestors of ancient philosophy, including Homer and Hesiod, to the philosophy of late pagan antiquity and early Christian thought in the fifth century AD. Within this framework, the aim of Arieti's introduction is to offer a companion to the theories of the philosophers in a description and evaluation that complement the study of the primary texts. As the author himself sets out at the Preface of his book, 'reading their work, or what remains of them, in translation is the next best way to understanding their thought' (p. xvii). Arieti places ancient philosophy in an anthropological setting, an effective framework that vividly involves the cultural, historical, political and mythological elements of the Greek tradition. This enlightened method provides the readers with as complete a picture as possible of the life and thought of each philosopher, and helps them to decode their original meaning not only in terms of each philosopher's individual approach but within the context of the whole period and its relevant circumstances. In accordance with this perspective, Arieti stresses the need to read ancient philosophers not merely as authors 'of obscure pronouncements or knotty argument or enchanting dialogues but as human beings who suffered, as we all do, from complex psyches and traumatic historical circumstances' (p. xviii).
