Demetrius of Phalerum

Demetrius of Phalerum

Routledge
2018
nidottu
Demetrius of Phalerum (c. 355-280BCE) of Phalerum was a philosopher-statesman. He studied in the Peripatos under Theophrastus and subsequently used his political influence to help his teacher acquire property for the Peripatetic school. As overseer of Athens, his governance was characterized by a decade of domestic peace. Exiled to Alexandria in Egypt, he became the adviser of Ptolemy. He is said to have been in charge of legislation, and it is likely that he influenced the founding of the Museum and the Library.This edition of the fragments of Demetrius of Phalerum reflects the growing interest in the Hellenistic period and the philosophical schools of that age. As a philosopher-statesman, Demetrius appears to have combined theory and practice. For example, in the work On Behalf of the Politeia, he almost certainly explained his own legislation and governance by appealing to the Aristotelian notion of politeia, that is, a constitution in which democratic and oligarchic elements are combined. In On Peace, he may have defended his subservience to Macedon by appealing to Aristotle, who repeatedly recognized the importance of peace over war; and in On Fortune, he will have followed Theophrastus, emphasizing the way fortune can determine the success or failure of sound policy. Whatever the case concerning any one title, we can well understand why Cicero regarded Demetrius as a unique individual: the educated statesman who was able to bring learning out of the shadows of erudition into the light of political conflict, and that despite an oratorical style more suited to the shadows of the Peripatos then to political combat.The new edition of secondary reports by Stork, van Ophuijsen, and Dorandi brings together the evidence for these and other judgments. The facing translation which accompanies the Greek and Latin texts opens up the material to readers who lack the ancient languages, and the accompanying essays introduce us to important issues. The volume will be of interest to those interested in Greek literature, Hellenistic philosophy, Hellenistic history, and generally to persons captivated by the notion of philosopher-statesman.

Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was a German poet, philosopher, physician, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life (1788-1805), Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with the already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents to their philosophical vision.

Glorious exploits of Scandenberg The book takes us back to the distant year 1480 when it was written and published in Latin. The English reader learns of the Prince or King of Albania, George Kastriot Scandenberg. A great strategist and true hero in defense of the freedom of his kingdom and people against the Ottoman invasion at the same time defender of Christianity and of Europe. All this is recounted to us with a smooth and precise narrative style as a true historian by Father Demetrius Francus. He is the first historical writer to have written and published the first book on the life and glorious deeds of Scandenberg. Thus by reading this book, the English reader becomes acquainted with a great character and a great strategist who was Scandenberg. Father Demetrius Francus was a native of the city of Drisht o Drivagsto of noble origin. Certainly born in that city but of which there is no date, so it is known that he lived in the XVth century. He chose religious life as Francescan order and priest. First in the service of John Catriot and then ourderf his so Scandenberg. After the death of the Prince, he moved to Venecia where he writes and publishes in Latin, the book on Scandenberg that we offer to the English reader which we hope will be satisfied. A book of history is worth more than any other book in which it narrates real events, which we have heard about, but have not had exact knowledge of them. So reading a history book lets us enter in story ourselves.

Operation Demetrius and its Aftermath

This book examines the use of internment without trial in Northern Ireland between 1971 and 1975. This research provides a more comprehensive account of internment and assesses previously unexplored aspects of its use. The book considers the high politics and intelligence surrounding the introduction of internment and in doing so accepted narratives regarding the measure are challenged. The book also highlights long-term and short-term consequences which developed from the internment period; some of which have not been given adequate consideration before. In addition this book traces the evolution of ‘The Troubles’ outside of Belfast and Derry/Londonderry between 1970 and 1972. It is argued that the development of the dynamics of the conflict across the whole of Northern Ireland was certainly more gradual and possibly less inevitable than has been previously identified.
