Book Description
This is the catalog of the + Daimonion + Exhibition. It presents 4 large-scale paintings (acrylic and oil on canvas) and 44 drawings (indian-ink on paper) by visual artist André Harke. The exhibition took place in April and May 2022 at Danera Gallery in central Berlin, Germany. The concept of Daimonion was first developed by Socrates who perceived the Daimonion as an inward mentor conceived as partaking of the nature of a demon or inspired by one. Socrates engaged in inner dialogs with the Daimonion and realized that the suggestions of the Daimonion were always protecting and meaningful to him in his personal experience. In my own personal experience, the Daimonion does not emerge as a being from beyond the border of the Self or as a separate being that would come into one's awareness. The Daimonion for me emerges as an impression of a higher awareness of the Self as well as the Self's surrounding universe. It is to me the very installation of reflective thinking to expand the individual awareness beyond its borders and to change the Self in accordance with individuality and aim. The Daimonion for me is an individual perception of the Black Flame -- a substance whose recognition enables the Initiate to Xeper and which can evolve within the Initiate to higher awareness. If perceived within the Self, this can be called the Daimonion. In other words, the individual perception of the Black Flame within the Self is a realization of the Daimonion as mentioned for the first time in this way by Sokrates. The large-scale paintings that are shown in this exhibition are materialized and visualized core principles as I understand, perceive and experience them along the path of Initiation.

In Search of Humanity
Author: Andrea Radasanu
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 0739184172
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 563
Book Description
This collection of essays, offered in honor of the distinguished career of prominent political philosophy professor Clifford Orwin, provides a wide context in which to consider the rise of “humanity” as one of the chief modern virtues. A relative of—and also a replacement for—formerly more prominent other-regarding virtues like justice and generosity, humanity and later compassion become the true north of the modern moral compass. Contributors to this volume consider various aspects of this virtue, by comparison with what came before and with attention to its development from early to late modernity, and up to the present.

Socrates in the Apology
Author: C. D. C. Reeve
Publisher: Hackett Publishing
ISBN: 9780872200883
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
"Reeve's book is an excellent companion to Plato's Apology and a valuable discussion of many of the main issues that arise in the early dialogues. Reeve is an extremely careful reader of texts, and his familiarity with the legal and cultural background of Socrates' trial allows him to correct many common misunderstandings of that event. In addition, he integrates his reading of the apology with a sophisticated discussion of Socrates' philosophy. The writing is clear and succinct, and the research is informed by a thorough acquaintance with the secondary literature. Reeve's book will be accessible to any serious undergraduate, but it is also a work that will have to be taken into account by every scholar doing advanced research on Socrates." --Richard Kraut, Northwestern University

Ancient Ethics
Author: Jörg Hardy
Publisher: V&R Unipress
ISBN: 3862346293
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
This volume presents essays on Ancient ethics from Homer to Plotinus with a focus on the significance of Ancient ethical thinking for contemporary ethics. Adapting Kant's words, we might describe philosophers today as holding that meta-ethics without normative ethics is empty; normative ethics without meta-ethics is blind. One fascinating feature of Ancient ethics is its close connection between content and method, between normative ethics and meta-ethics. In connecting ethical, epistemological, and cosmological issues, Ancient ethical theories strive for an integrated understanding of normativity. The project of this volume is to capture some of the colours of the bright spectrum of ancient ethics. The goal of bundling them together is, ultimately, to shed better light on the issues of contemporary ethics. Topics: Classical Chinese Ethics, Indian Ethics, Homeric Ethics, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Hellenistic philosophy, Plotinus, Ancient and Modern Moral Psychology, Hybrid Theories of Normativity, The Unity of the Virtues, The Art of Life and Morality (Lebenskunst und Moral). Contributors: J. Annas, M. Anagnostopoulos, R. Aprressyan, Th. C. Brickhouse / N. D. Smith, J. Bussanich, C. Collobert, S. Delcomminette, W. Detel, D. Frede, L. Gerson, Ch. Halbig, J. Hardy, O. Höffe, B. Inwood, M.-Th. Liske, L. Pfister, M. McPherran, J. Piering, G. Rudebusch, D. Russell, G. Santas, Ch. Shields, M. Sim, C. C. Taylor.

Antiquities Beyond Humanism
Author: Emanuela Bianchi
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198805675
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
"Greco-Roman antiquity is often presumed to provide the very paradigm of humanism from the Renaissance to the present. This paradigm has been increasingly challenged by new theoretical currents such as posthumanism and the "new materialisms", which point toward entities, forces, and systems that pass through and beyond the human and dislodge it from its primacy as the measure of things. 0'Antiquities beyond Humanism' seeks to explode the presumed dichotomy between the ancient tradition and the twenty-first century "turn" by exploring the myriad ways in which Greek and Roman philosophy and literature can be understood as foregrounding the non-human. Greek philosophy in particular is filled with metaphysical explanations of the cosmos grounded in observations of the natural world, while other areas of ancient humanistic inquiry - poetry, political theory, medicine - extend into the realms of plant, animal, and even stone life, continually throwing into question the ontological status of living and non-living beings. By casting the ancient non-human or more-than-human in a new light in relation to contemporary questions of gender, ecological networks and non-human communities, voice, eros, and the ethics and the politics of posthumanism, the volume demonstrates that encounters with ancient texts, experienced as both familiar and strange, can help forge new understandings of life, whether understood as physical, psychical, divine, or cosmic."--

Demon Entrepreneurs: Refashioning the ‘Greek Genius’ in Modern Times
Author: Basil C. Gounaris
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000683923
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
The ‘Greek genius’ appears as the combination of two stereotypes with a long pedigree: Homer’s ingenious Odysseus, triumphing with tricks over his foes, and Virgil’s ‘deceitful Odysseus’, the impostor Greek. Adamantios Korais, the leading scholar who almost single-handedly refashioned the Greek nation, fully appreciated the importance of Greek shipping and commerce, and the wealth they generated for the spread of Enlightenment ideas and the quest for political emancipation in the Greek lands. In this context, the ‘genius’ and the consequent economic success have long been considered the essential prerequisites for the spreading of Greek education and, ultimately, national revival. Reversely, Greek education and consciousness-building via economic success are taken as proof of the immanent ‘Greek genius’. As a popular myth of redemption, this stereotype persists in a country of rather limited resources and uncertain prospects. This volume seeks to identify both the content and the ways that the ‘Greek genius’ has long worked at the political, social and economic level. Based on a collective research project, it offers an original contribution to the broader discussion generated by the current Greek national bicentenary. This book will appeal to all those interested in the idea of the Greek 'national character’ as well as international perceptions of Greek culture, education, and society during the modern era.
