  1. Filone di Larissa e l’Assioco.Francesco Verde - 2021 - Elenchos: Rivista di Studi Sul Pensiero Antico 42 (1):199-208.
    This short paper is a critical note of the recent volume on the pseudo-Platonic dialogue Axiochus edited by A. Beghini ([Platone], Assioco. Saggio introduttivo, edizione critica, traduzione e commento, Baden-Baden: Academia Verlag, 2020). This scholar assumes the possibility of attributing the dialogue to Philo of Larissa or his circle. This hypothesis, although well argued in the book, faces some exegetical difficulties concerning the content of the dialogue and the hardly reconstructible philosophy of Philo himself. In this note I will critically (...)

  • Antiochus of Ascalon’s ‘Platonic’ Ethics.Franco Trabattoni - 2022 - Elenchos: Rivista di Studi Sul Pensiero Antico 43 (1):85-103.
    This article focuses on the Platonic version of the doctrine of oikeiosis set forth by Piso in Cicero’s De finibus, Book V. The article aims to show that: 1) Cicero’s account, while clearly having Stoic features, is also consistent with the eudaemonistic character of Socrates’ and Plato’s ethics; 2) the replacement of oikeiosis with “assimilation to god”, attested in a passage of the Anonymous Commentary on Plato’s Theaetetus, derives from the intent to remove Epicurean egoistic connotations from Plato’s ethics; according (...)

  • Un tournant majeur de l'acculturation du cynisme à Rome : le De philosophia de Varron.Jordi Pià-Comella - 2020 - Elenchos: Rivista di Studi Sul Pensiero Antico 41 (2):269-296.
    In his De philosophia, Varro lists 288 philosophical schools on the highest good before presenting Antiochus’s doctrine as the only true one. One of the particularities of his moral doxography consists in including cynicism which has never been mentioned in the previous moral sources. This paper therefore aims to show that the De philosophia represents a major turning point for the Roman reflection on cynicism. First, Varro defines cynicism as a simple way of life (habitus) and not a doctrine (ratio) (...)

  • Reconstructing Brutus’ De Virtute: Consolation and Antiochean Fundamentalism.Peter Osorio - 2020 - Phronesis 66 (1):52-83.
    Brutus’ De virtute, a lost work that had important but overlooked influence on Cicero’s ethical dialogues, is more dependent on Antiochus’ ethics than has been recognized. In reviewing the sources for De virtute, I arrive at a conception of Brutus’ work as a consolation written in a fundamentalist—rather than ecumenical—mode that focalizes its arguments and commonplaces from the perspective of Antiochus’ philosophical system. This conception is supported by the only other testimony for Brutus’ consolatory writing.

  • Estética de la recepción e historia de las ideas en el siglo XVIII. La virtus y el honestum ciceronianos en el “honor nobiliario” de Montesquieu y la “educación cívica” de Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos.Javier Espino Martín - 2017 - Tópicos: Revista de Filosofía 53:325-372.
    A través de la metodología de una selección de teóricos de la “estética de la recepción”, pretendemos analizar la interrelación entre el “horizonte de expectativas” de Marco Tulio Cicerón, con el de los intelectuales ilustrados Montesquieu y Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos. A partir de ahí, pretendemos rellenar los “vacíos”, o los misunderstandings que la lectura ilustrada hace de la ética política ciceroniana en el término concreto de la “virtud” y la “honestidad”. Así pues, desarrollaremos estos conceptos según toda la cosmovisión (...)

  • Nature and the Good: An exploration of ancient ethical naturalism in Cicero’s De finibus.Juan Pablo Bermúdez-Rey - 2011 - Pensamiento y Cultura 14 (2):145-163.
    This paper investigates the differences between ancient Greek and modern ethical naturalism, through the account of the whole classical tradition provided by Cicero in De finibus bonorum et malorum. Ever since Hume’s remarks on the topic, it is usually held that derivations of normative claims from factual claims require some kind of proper justification. It ́s a the presence of such justifications in the Epicurean, Stoic, and Academic-Peripatetic ethical theories (as portrayed in De finibus), and, after a negative conclusion, I (...)
