Z Neoplatonism Neoplatonism is a modern term used to designate the period of Platonic philosophy beginning with the work of Plotinus Gnosticism and the Hermetic tradition. A major factor in this syncretism, and one which had an immense influence on the development of Platonic thought, was the introduction of the Jewish Scriptures into Greek intellectual circles via the translation known as the Septuagint Timaeus Enneads Table of Contents What is Neoplatonism?

Plotinian Neoplatonism Plotinus , is responsible for the grand synthesis of progressive Christian and Gnostic ideas with the traditional Platonic philosophy. He answered the challenge of accounting for the emergence of a seemingly inferior and flawed cosmos from the perfect mind of the divinity by declaring outright that all objective existence is but the external self-expression of an inherently contemplative deity known as the One ( to hen ), or the Good (

65. Academy, The [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] Brief article on the development of this ancient school. http://www.iep.utm.edu/a/academy.htm

Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy A B C ... Z The Academy Philosophical institution founded by Plato , which advocated skepticism in succeeding generations. The Academy ( Academia Academia is frequently used in philosophical writings, especially in Cicero, as indicative of the Academic sect. Sextus Empiricus enumerates five divisions of the followers of Plato. He makes Plato founder of the first Academy, Aresilaus of the second, Carneades of the third, Philo and Charmides of the fourth, Antiochus of the fifth. Cicero recognizes only two Academies, the Old and the New, and makes the latter commence as above with Arcesilaus . In enumerating those of the old Academy, he begins, not with Plato, but Democritus, and gives them in the following order: Democritus, Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Parmenides, Xenophanes, Socrates, Plato, Speusippus, Xenocrates, Polemo, Crates, and Crantor. In the New, or Younger, he mentions Arcesilaus, Lacydes, Evander, Hegesinus, Carneades, Clitomachus, and Philo ( Acad. Quaest. iv. 5). If we follow the distinction laid down by Diogenes, and alluded to above, the Old Academy will consist of those followers of Plato who taught the doctrine of their master without mixture or corruption; the Middle will embrace those who, by certain innovations in the manner of philosophizing, in some measure receded from the Platonic system without entirely deserting it; while the New will begin with those who relinquished the more questionable tenets of Arcesilaus, and restored, in come measure, the declining reputation of the Platonic school.

67. Peter Suber, "Classical Skepticism" By Peter Suber of Earlham College http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/writing/skept.htm

Peter Suber Classical Skepticism Issues and Problems Peter Suber Philosophy Department Earlham College Introduction ... Notes Introduction Nowadays skeptics are stubborn disbelievers who say to anybody about anything, "No," or "I doubt it," or "How do you know?" or "I don't believe you," or "Prove it". On and off throughout the history of philosophy their reputation has been worse. Whatever one person can believe, another can disbelieve, while others may be uncertain or uninterested. To believers, everything except belief is unbelief, including all the interesting territory from outright denial through hesitation and mixed feelings to indifference. "Skepticism" became the catch-all term for these different attitudes. Moreover, in a dogmatic culture, the term became pejorative. It applied to those "who doubted where doubt was most resented and most resisted". [Note 1] "Skepticism," however, had one relatively clear and precise meaning to its inventors, the ancient Greek skeptics, and that meaning was not at all pejorative. Compared to non-skeptical philosophical positions, skepticism is very simple. It is easy to understand, although it is commonly confused with things it is not. Skepticism in religion, for example, is not atheism. It is not even agnosticism. No genuine skeptic ever doubts or denies or disbelieves any theory, any hypothesis, or any belief. In fact, this is the only obstacle to a clear understanding of skepticism: we think we already know what it is and we are wrong. To skeptics, this unfounded pretense to knowledge is itself an example of the greatest sin they know, which is variously called rashness, conceit, pride, dogmatism, presumption, and culpable ignorance.

FOUCAULT.INFO Parrhesiasts - Diogenes The Cynic Philosophers and their techniques [excerpt from the seminar given by Foucault in 1983 This brings us to Cynic parrhesia. The main types of parrhesiastic practice utilized by the Cynics were. (1) critical preaching; (2) scandalous behavior; and (3) what I shall call the "Provocative dialogue." Critical Preaching : Preaching is still one of the main forms of truth-telling practiced in our society, and it involves the idea that the truth must be told and taught not only to the best members of the society, or to an exclusive group, but to everyone. Scandalous Behavior : Cynic parrhesia also had recourse to scandalous behavior or attitudes which called into question collective habits, opinions, standards of decency, institutional rules, and so on. Several procedures were used. One of them was the inversion of roles, as can be seen from Dio Chrysostom's Fourth Discourse where the famous encounter between Diogenes and Alexander is depicted. This encounter, which was often referred to by the Cynics, does not take place in the privacy of Alexander's court but in the street, in the open. The king stands up while Diogenes sits back in his barrel. Diogenes orders Alexander to step out of his light so that he can bask in the sun. Ordering Alexander to step aside so that the sun' s light can reach Diogenes is an affirmation of the direct and natural relation the philosopher has to the sun in contrast to the mythical genealogy whereby the king, as descended from a god, was supposed to personify the sun.

71. Cynicism Brief paper on Cynicism http://personal.ecu.edu/mccartyr/ancient/athens/Cynicism.htm

Cynicism Cynicism was an ancient Greek philosophy, primarily concerned with virtue, whose followers were known as "The Dog Philosophers." They believed that virtue was the only necessity for happiness and that it was wholly sufficient for attaining happiness. They followed this philosophy to the extent of neglecting everything that did not further their perfection of virtue and their attainment of happiness. Thus the title cynics, from the Greek word for dog, kuon , was assigned to them because they lived like dogs; neglecting society, hygiene, family, money, etc. in order to lead wholly virtuous and happy lives. The cynical virtues were defined by their founder, Antisthenes. Antisthenes demonstrated how our desires lead ultimately to misery; therefore, a virtuous man always neglected pleasure and pleasure seeking activities because the ultimate result of these endeavors was misery. He adopted much of Socrates' philosophy and used this as the cornerstone for his own philosophy. Some of the common ground between Antisthenes and Socrates included: A disregard for pleasure or pain, stemming from the belief that

73. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cynic School Of Philosophy From The Catholic Encyclopedia, by William Turner. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04582a.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... C > Cynic School of Philosophy Cynic School of Philosophy The Cynic School, founded at Athens about 400 B.C., continued in existence until about 200 B.C. It sprang from the ethical doctrine of Socrates regarding the necessity of moderation and self-denial . With this ethical element it combined the dialectical and rhetorical methods of the Eleatics and the Sophists . Both these influences, however, it perverted from their primitive uses; the Socratic ethics was interpreted by the Cynics into a coarse and even vulgar depreciation of knowledge , refinement, and the common decencies, while the methods of the Eleatics and the Sophists became in the hands of the Cynics an instrument of contention (Eristic Method) rather than a means of attaining truth . The Cynic contempt for the refinements and conventions of polite society is generally given as the reason for the name dogs ) by which the first representatives of the school were known . According to some authorities , however, the name Cynic arose from the fact that the first representatives of the school were accustomed to meet in the gymnasium of Cynosarges.

75. Cynics [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] One of the minor Socratic schools founded by Antisthenes, a follower of Socrates. Article from the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. http://www.iep.utm.edu/c/cynics.htm

Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy A B C ... Z Cynics Cynicism originates in the philosophical schools of ancient Greece that claim a Socratic lineage. To call the Cynics a “school” though, immediately raises a difficulty for so unconventional and anti-theoretical a group. Their primary interests are ethical, but they conceive of ethics more as a way of living than as a doctrine in need of explication. As such askēsis— a Greek word meaning a kind of training of the self or practice—is fundamental. The Cynics, as well as the Stoics who followed them, characterize the Cynic way of life as a “shortcut to virtue” (see Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers , Book 6, Chapter 104 and Book 7, Chapter 122). Though they often suggest that they have discovered the quickest, and perhaps surest, path to the virtuous life, they recognize the difficulty of this route. The colorfulness of the Cynic way of life presents certain problems. The triumph of the Cynic as a philosophical and literary character complicates discussions of the historical individuals, a complication further troubled by a lack of sources. The evidence regarding the Cynics is limited to apothegms, aphorisms, and ancient hearsay; none of the many Cynic texts have survived. The tradition records the tenets of Cynicism via their lives. It is through their practices, the selves and lives that they cultivated, that we come to know the particular Cynic ēthos Table of Contents History of the Name Major Figures and the Cynic Lineage Cynic Ethics Living in Accord with Nature and Opposing Conventions ...
