| book description |
This volume gathers together a series of widely -scattered articles concerned with the great tradition of Platonic scholarship †The Golden Chain†from the time of Plato himself up into the period of Middle Platonism. The main emphasis, however, is on the first three centuries AD. The first articles address the question of what exactly was the nature of the Platonic school at various stages of its development and what kind of organization the Academy may have had. The following ones present studies on figures from Speusippus in the Old Academy, through Philo of Alexandria and Origen (more honorary members of the Golden Chain), to Plotinus, Iamblichus and Proclus, and on some more general issues, such as the fall of the soul, which span much of the period. Dans ce volume sont rassembles des articles jusqueâ€la très dispersés et qui traitent de la grande tradition du savoir platonicien †la ""Chaîne d'Or""†Sur une période allant de Platon au Moyenâ€Platonisme et àl'avènement de la pensée chrétienne. Cependant, l'accent est surtout mis sur les trois premières siècles ap. J.C. Les premières articles s'attachent àla nature exacte de l'Ecole platonicienne àdifférents stades de son évolution et aussi a l'organisation adoptée par ""l'Académie"". Les études suivantes examinent différents personnages, de Speusippe, qui appartenait àl'Ancienne Académie, en passant par Philon d'Aleandrie et Origiène (membres semiâ€honoraires de la Chaîne d'Or), jusqu'àPlotin, Iamblique et Procle; y sont aussi traitées des questions d'ordre plus général, telles la chute de l'âme, qui furent embrassées durant la majeure partie de cette période.
