Synopsis
Excerpt from Lucian und die Philosophenschulen
Ansicht hinzuzufügen, und sagt: (die ich kaum fur wahr halte' damit nicht etwa jemand seine Werke so deute, als ob er selber die Verleumdung gegen Pythagoras anerkenne. Rein aus litterarischem Interesse benutzt er seine Person, weil sie genug bietet, was sich vom Standpunkt des Komikers ver werten läfst. Im ganzen ist es eine harmlose phantastische Ausnutzung ge gebener Motive. Seine eigene Achtung vor dem Philosophen wird dadurch nicht im mindesten in Frage gestellt.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Lucian, a prominent satirist of the second century CE. Through a thorough examination of Lucian's works, the author sheds light on his witty and incisive critiques of various philosophical schools, particularly targeting the Platonists, Pythagoreans, and Cynics. By exploring Lucian's humorous and often exaggerated portrayals of these philosophers, the book illuminates the shortcomings and absurdities he perceived within their doctrines and practices. Lucian's writings mirrored the intellectual landscape of his time, capturing the skepticism and disillusionment that permeated the Roman Empire during the second century CE. His satirical approach not only provided entertainment but also reflected a broader cultural shift away from traditional beliefs and towards a more critical and questioning mindset. The book not only provides a comprehensive analysis of Lucian's philosophical satire but also offers valuable insights into the broader intellectual and cultural context in which he wrote. It is a compelling read for anyone interested in ancient philosophy, satire, or the history of ideas. By engaging with Lucian's sharp wit and incisive observations, readers gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of philosophical thought and its enduring relevance in understanding human nature and society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
