A highly accessible narrative survey of political thought over the past two millenia. Exploring many key ideas in the Western tradition, it begins with the classic political thought of the ancient Greeks, moves through the medieval and early Christian views of politics, and concludes by exploring the modern re-interpretation of political life.

John Stuart Mill's classic tale of disillusionment from a 'narrow creed', an overt as much as a covert theme of his Autobiography (London, 1873), has for many years served as a guide to the search for the causes and sources of his 'enlargement-of-the-utilitarian-creed' project. As a result, in analyses of Mill's mature views, Samuel Taylor Coleridge-and friends-commonly take centre stage in terms of influence, whereas John's father-James Mill-is reduced either to a supernumerary or a villain in the last act of John's intellectual development. However, students of Mill's works should not take at face value the story presented in Autobiography. Mill's own emphasis on the role of his 'new influences' has led scholars to disregard the role of his 'old influences' in his attempt to create a broader theory of living-one which takes into account both the intellectual and the emotional capacities of individuals. A close look at key aspects of John Stuart Mill's 'enlargement project' suggests that James Mill may have played a more positive role than is usually acknowledged. A way into the intellectual affinity of the two Mills is the person they both kept returning to for guidance and inspiration throughout their lives: Plato. [Copyright Elsevier Ltd.]

The Greek & Turkish Cypriot inter-communal conflict transcends the borders of the island Republic. Along with the constitutional deadlocks & enmity between the two Cypriot communities, the problem is heavily influenced by the involvement of a number of interested external parties. The Cyprus question remains a classic example of the interplay of national & international disputes. The peacemaking potential of the United Nations was seriously undermined by the attitudes & actions independently undertaken by the disputants & other interested external parties, & therefore explain to a large extent the inability & unwillingness of the Greek & Turkish Cypriots to reach a peaceful political settlement through inter-communal talks. Adapted from the source document.

This article makes the case that politics, understood as a particular kind of public action, presupposes a notion of time marked by the three temporal states of past, present, and future. Political deliberation and judgment are future‐oriented activities that, more or less explicitly, draw on the past for guidance. Aristotle's discussion of deliberative rhetoric in the Art of Rhetoric, which recognizes the inherent contingency of political decision making, is the classic treatment of the topic and is given some attention. Throughout western political theory this view of politics has been contested, most notably by figures such as Plato and Marx, whose respective attempts to transcend the contingency and unpredictability of politics, it will be argued, is connected to the endeavour to overcome the imperfections and conflicts bound up with the temporal order itself. Finally, the article examines two modern expressions of the desire to transcend politics in a timeless world of pure model building or universal morality. The first of these can be found in much contemporary neo‐classical economic theory, and the second in the a‐political politics of the international human rights movement.

Con todas las limitaciones que se consideren justas, Atenas inventa la democracia y, simultáneamente, la teoría democrática. Algún otro Estado griego pudo haberla ejercido antes o contemporáneamente. Pero la historia ―las fuentes― sólo nos garantiza el caso ateniense. Y la democracia ateniense no significa solo el gobierno de todos ―o de la mayoría―, significa también la igualdad de todos ante la ley. ; With all the limitations that are considered fair, Athens invents democracy and, simultaneously, democratic theory. Some other Greek State could have exercised it before or at the same time. But history ―the sources― only guarantees us the Athenian case. And the Athenian democracy does not mean only the government of all ―or of the majority―, it also means the equality of all before the law. ; peerReviewed

Although a number of classic Doctor Who episodes featured story lines and characters drawn from Greek myth, no new Who episodes based on Greek myth appeared until seasons 5 and 6, in 2010 and 2011. These episodes featured Pandora's box, the Minotaur, and a Siren. They all use the mythical monster or artifact outside of its ancient Greek context, and I argue that the mythical monsters were additions to earlier story ideas. I compare this with the treatment of the myths of the Minotaur and the Sirens in five stories posted to FanFiction.net between 2008 and 2013. These stories all engage with classical myths, and the longest, "Lure of the Sirens," even engages with different versions of the myth of the Sirens. In this article I discuss how the writers use the classical myths within their stories, and how the myths fit in with the primary aims of the writers, for example in developing romantic relationships between characters.

En su libro El ser y el acontecimiento, Alain Badiou sostiene que la ciencia del ser-en-tanto-ser existe desde los griegos. Siguiendo a Heiddegger, Badiou sostiene que la filosofía puede reconstruirse a partir de la "cuestión ontológica", o sea, a partir de la pregunta por el ser en cuanto tal. Y siguiendo la línea de la filosofía analítica, sostiene que la revolución lógico matemática impulsada por Frege y Cantor fija una nueva orientación al pensamiento occidental. La línea de análisis seguida por el pensamiento moderno se dirige principalmente a lo que hoy llamamos teoría del conocimiento o gnoseología y también, en determinados contextos, epistemología. El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en reclamar para la teoría de conjuntos borrosos la intención última de convertirse no en una teoría del ser en tanto ser, sino en una teoría del conocer, en un intento por dar cuenta de sus limitaciones, de su vaguedad, de su falta de nitidez, por oposición al ideal cartesiano de claridad y distinción. ; In his book L´Etre et l´evÈnÈment, Alain Badiou have said that there is a science of being-as-such and it exist from Greeks. Following Heidegger, Badoiu holds that philosophy can be reconstructed from the "ontological question", i.e., from the question about being-as-sach. And following the analitical philosophy, he thinks that the logic and mathematical revolution introduced by Frege and Cantor offers a new way to the Western Thought. The way in which the Modern thouht is oriented attends in the main at what is called theory of knowledge, or epistemology in some contexts. In the present paper we try to show how the fuzzy sets theory is to be thought not mainly as a theory of "being-as-such", but as a theory of knowledge, as an attempt of giving account of its limits and vagueness, far away of the Cartesian ideal of "clair and distinct" knowledge. ; Fil: Garcia, Pablo Sebastian.

On Tyranny is Leo Strauss's classic reading of Xenophon's dialogue Hiero, or Tyrannicus, in which the tyrant Hiero and the poet Simonides discuss the advantages and disadvantages of exercising tyranny. Included are a translation of the dialogue from its original Greek, a critique of Strauss's commentary by the French philosopher Alexandre Kojève, and the complete correspondence between the two. This revised and expanded edition introduces important corrections throughout and expands Strauss's restatement of his position in light of Kojève's commenta

En esta investigación se defiende que las concepciones de libertad, público y privado son categorías privilegiadas para abordar tanto la cultura griega como la filosofía práctica de Aristóteles. Apelando a los textos clásicos, se analizan tanto la génesis como la trascendencia de estos tres conceptos, lo que posibilita una clara percepción de lo que estos representan en la cultura griega y el cometido que desempeñan en la filosofía de Aristóteles. Desde estas premisas se examinan las dispares interpretaciones que de la filosofía aristotélica han realizado tanto la republicana Hannah Arendt como la liberal Judith Swanson. Análisis que concluye en que ambas pensadoras realizan lecturas incorrectas de los textos aristotélicos así como que el error de estas diferentes interpretaciones reside en que extrapolan sus propias concepciones de libertad, o la moderna concepción de la separación de esferas, trasladándolas anacrónicamente al análisis de los textos clásicos griegos. ; This investigation intends to demonstrate that the concepts of liberty, public and private, are privileged categories which explore both Greek culture and Aristotle´s practical philosophy. Using the classic texts as background, the genesis and the transcendence of these three concepts are analyzed, which gives a clear perception of what they represent in Greek culture and their role in Aristotle´s philosophy. This thesis also examines the polarized interpretations of the Aristotelian philosophy of both the republican Hannah Arendt, and the libertarian Judith Swanson. This analysis concludes that due to the thinkers´ extrapolation of their own notions of liberty and a modern interpretation of the separation of spheres theory to the classic Greek texts, resulting in an anachronism, the Aristotelian texts are incorrectly interpreted.

In Chapter 7, titled "The Naturalization of Intelligence," of his book The Quest for Certainty. A Study of the Relation of Knowledge and Action (1929), John Dewey proposes a new theory of knowledge as praxis-oriented, overruling the classic model that had dominated in philosophy since the ancient Greeks. The intent of the book is to abandon the quest for certainty, understood as the indubitable knowledge of nature. This paper presents a critical analysis of Dewey's theory of knowledge, its antecedents & its outcome.

This paper is concerned with the relationship between Greek culture and Roman politics. My aim is twofold. First, I want to challenge the traditional point of view that held a Roman Ruling Power and a Hellenic Civilizing Power. In my opinion, Greek paideia should be considered as a basic component of the alliances between the Roman oligarchy and the Greek civic elites and, as a result of that, as an essential political tool for the Roman Empire. On the other hand, the Roman politicians and the Greek civic aristocracies sparked a debate on the definition of this new Greek culture for the Roman empire. In the end, a paideia based on the classic tradition and on the civic life succeeded. ; Este artículo trata de la relación entre la cultura griega y la política romana. Mi propósito es doble. En primer lugar quiero poner en duda la opinión común que sostiene la existencia de un poder político romano frente a un poder civilizador de carácter griego. En mi opinión, la paideía debería ser considerada como un formante básico de la alianza entre la oligarquía romana y las elites cívicas griegas y, por lo tanto, como un instrumento fundamental del imperio romano. Por otro lado, los políticos romanos y las aristocracias griegas mantuvieron un debate sobre la definición de esta nueva cultura griega para el Imperio romano. Al final, se acabó imponiendo una paideía basada en la tradición clásica y en la vida cívica.

En la Antigua Atenas, las mujeres sufrieron discriminación jurídica, política y económica, entre otras. En este marco, nos proponemos analizar la posición femenina ateniense en el período clásico considerando la concepción de polis para los griegos. El estudio muestra que la falta de oportunidades, la constante subestimación y menoscabo del universo femenino es de larga data en la cultura occidental y se ancla en una concepción griega antigua de "lo femenino. ; In Ancient Athens women suffered legal, political and economic discrimination. Within this frame, we propose to analyze the feminine Athenian position during the classic period considering the conception of polis for the Greeks. The study shows the lack of oportunities, the constant underestimation and discredit of the feminine universe founded on the ancient Greek conception of "what is feminine". ; Fil: Ardesi de Tarantuviez, Beatriz.
