Jacques Maritain Center History of Philosophy / by William Turner CHAPTER XVIII PHILOSOPHY OF THE ROMANS The Pythagoreans of Magna Graecia were the first to introduce greek philosophy into Italy. Pythagorean philosophy, however, never took deep root in Roman soil. Indeed, although Pythagorean speculation flourished in Italy as early as the sixth century, it was not until the beginning of the second century before Christ that Rome began to feel the power of Greek literature and Greek art, and it was about the same time that the influence of Greek philosophy was first felt. That the Romans did not accept without a struggle this imposition of a foreign culture is evident from the fact that in 161 B.C. residence in Rome was, by a decree of the Senate, forbidden to philosophers and rhetoricians. Later, however, the conquest of Greece and the military expeditions of Pompey, Caesar, Antony, and Augustus broadened the minds of the Romans, rendered them susceptible to the beauty of Greek literature, and led to the inflow of Greek learning and to the establishment in Rome of the representative teachers of Greek philosophy. Cicero was, therefore, contrasting his own age with the more conservative past when he said: "Philosophia jacuit usque ad hanc aetatem." In accepting the philosophy of Greece, the Roman spirit asserted its practical tendency, selecting what was more easily assimilated, and modifying what it accepted, by imparting to it a more practical character. Thus it was the ethical philosophy of the Epicureans and Stoics and the Eclectic systems of later times, rather than the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle, that throve when transplanted to Roman soil.

Siegfried Jäkel Classical Philology Seminar, University of Turku, Finland Here we have a new version of a book which has been considered to be the leading introduction into what is generally called Classical Philology in the most comprehensive sense, and which was published almost 90 years ago in 1910 by Alfred Gercke and Eduard Norden.[[1]] That this new version is concerned only with Latin Philology has to do with the fact that in the last decades of this century Latin has improved more and more as a scientific discipline and is no longer considered to be a kind of appendix to ancient Greek philology. So it is quite justified that the publisher has announced a separate volume which will be dedicated to ancient Greek philology.[[2]] The present introduction to Latin philology presents nine sections, each containing several articles by different authors. The first section, 'Geschichte der lateinischen Philologie und Bildung' ('The History of Latin Philology and Education', pp. 1-50) contains three articles: Robert A. Kasten, 'Die Geschichte der Philologie in Rom' ('The History of Philology in Rome', pp. 1-16), examines the political, religious and social traditions reflected in the Latin Language, Ilsetraut Hadot gives an outline of the history of education in antiquity and a survey of the so-called artes liberales

intro summary documents Lucan Bellum civile book III, a commentary by Vincent Hunink Gieben, Amsterdam 1992 In my first major research project I studied Lucan's fascinating epic (or anti-epic) on the civil war between Caesar and Pompeius. The poem was written during the reign of Nero (about 60 to 65 A.D.) This was my main research project in the period 1988-1991. It resulted in a PhD dissertation (1992). SUMMARY The epic Bellum Civile of the Roman poet Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (39-65) deals with the civil war between Julius Caesar and Pompeius in 49-47 B.C. Their conflict is elaborately described in powerful verses full of paradox, witty maxims, and strong pathos. This study is a commentary on the third book of Lucan's epic, on which no separate, modern commentary was available as yet. The most important parts of Lucan's book are a long catalogue of Pompey's troops, and a highly original account of a naval battle near Marseille. Bellum civile is a complex text, which confronts its reader with countless problems, both textual, and linguistical and thematic. The commentary attempts to identify the most important of these problems and, wherever possible, formulate solutions to them. At many points the Latin text is explained and interpreted first. This interpretation is made on the basis of a general concept of the poem as, above all, a rhetorical poem . The poet does not fully concentrate on matters of history and science, on philosophical or political aspects, but always strives after maximum
