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).
In the world we perceive and in which we live and act, all things
seem to be in a state of constant motion and change, expressed by
the model of homeostasis. The essays in this volume examine this
paradigm from the perspectives of science, philosophy, art,
architecture, and economics. German text.
