Description

L Adversus Colotem, composto intorno al 100 d.C., fa parte, insieme al non posse e al de latenter vivendo, della cosiddetta trilogia anti-epicurea di Plutarco. Questo volume analizza l Adversus Colotem nel suo complesso, approfondendone, in particolar modo, le strategie polemiche, le alleanze filosofiche e le tecniche argomentative. Il libro si articola in quattro capitoli, rispettivamente dedicati: 1) all analisi della struttura dell opera; 2) alla ricostruzione, basata sullo studio critico delle fonti antiche (Plutarco, Proclo, Macrobio e i Papiri Ercolanesi), della figura, degli scritti e della filosofia dell epicureo Colote; 3) all approfondimento della tesi dell unità dell Accademia, così come difesa in quest opera da Plutarco; 4) all esame della sezione su Arcesilao (Adv. Col. 1121 E-1123 A) e, in special modo, della teoria dell'azione dell accademico ivi esposta. Chiude il volume un sommario in lingua inglese. From the Back Cover In-depth analysis of Plutarch’s anti-Epicurean treatise ‘Adversus Colotem’. ‘L’Adversus Colotem’, composto intorno al 100 d.C., fa parte, insieme al non posse e al de latenter vivendo, della cosidetta ‘trilogia anti-epicurea’ di Plutarco. Questo volume analizza l’Adversus Colotem nel suo complesso, approfondendone, in particolar modo, le strategie polemiche, le alleanze filosofiche e le tecniche argomentative. Il libro si articola in quattro capitoli, rispettivamente dedicati: 1) all’analisi della struttura dell’opera; 2) alla ricostruzione, basata sullo studio critico delle fonti antiche (Plutarco, Proclo, Macrobio e i Papiri Ercolanesi), della figura, degli scritti e della filosofia dell’epicureo Colote; 3) all’approfondimento della tesi dell’unità dell’Accademia, così come difesa in quest’opera da Plutarco; 4) all’esame della sezione su Arcesilao (Adv. Col. 1121 E-1123 A) e, in special modo, della teoria dell'azione dell’accademico ivi esposta. Chiude il volume un sommario in lingua inglese. The ‘Adversus Colotem’, written around 100 A.D., is one of Plutarch's three extant anti-Epicurean treatises. It is a reply to Colotes’ otherwise unknown book entitled 'On the fact that according to the doctrines of the other philosophers it is impossible to live'. This volume analyses the Adversus Colotem as a whole and, in particular, explores its polemical target, its philosophical background. and its argumentative strategies. It consists of four chapters, devoted respectively to: 1) the structure of the Adversus Colotem; 2) a critical examination of the ancient sources (Plutarch, Proclus, Macrobius, and the Herculaneum Papyri) concerning Colotes’ life, philosophy, and role in the Epicurean tradition; 3) the thesis of the unity of the Academy, as it is defended by Plutarch in the Adversus Colotem; and 4) the analysis of the section on Arcesilaus (Adv. Col. 1121 E-1123 A), which contains Arcesilaus’ response to the apraxia charge. An English summary concludes the volume.
