Agonistes comprises a collection of essays presented by his friends
and colleagues to Denis O'Brien, former Directeur de recherche at
the Centre Nationale de Recherche Scientifique, representing the
full range of his scholarly interests in the field of ancient
philosophy, from the Presocratics, through Plato, Aristotle and
Hellenistic philosophy, to Plotinus and later Neoplatonism. The
honorand himself leads off with a stimulating Apologia, sketching
the development of his scholarly interests and dwelling on the
issues that have chiefly concerned him. The contributions then
follow in chronological order, under four headings: I From the
Presocratics to Plato (Frere, Brancacci); II From Plato to the
Stoics (Brisson, Casertano, Dixsaut, KA1/4hn, McCabe, Narcy, Rowe,
Goulet); III Plotinus and the Neoplatonist Tradition (O'Meara,
Sakonji, Gersh, Steel, Dillon, Smith); IV Saint Augustine and After
(Pepin, Rist, Brague/Freudenthal). They comprise a significant
representation of the most distinguished scholars both on the
continent and in the British Isles, and fairly represent the wide
influence which Denis O'Brien has had on his contemporaries. The
volume includes also a full bibliography of O'Brien's works.
