Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Focusing on the period known as the Second Sophistic (an era roughly co-extensive with the second century AD), this Handbook serves the need for a broad and accessible overview. The study of the Second Sophistic is a relative new-comer to the Anglophone field of classics and much of what characterizes it temporally and culturally remains a matter of legitimate contestation. This Handbook offers a diversity of scholarly voices that attempt to define, as much as ispossible in a single volume, the state of this rapidly developing field. Included are chapters that offer practical guidance on the wide range of valuable textual materials that survive, many of whichare useful or even core to inquiries of particular current areas of interest, including: gender studies, cultural history of the body, sociology of literary culture, history of education and intellectualism, history of religion, political theory, history of medicine, cultural linguistics, and, intersection of the Classical traditions and early Christianity. The Handbook also contains essays devoted to the work of the most significant intellectuals of the period such as Plutarch, Dio Chrysostom,Lucian, Apuleius, the novelists, the Philostrati and Aelius Aristides. In addition to content and bibliographical guidance, however, this volume is designed to help to situate the textual remainswithin the period and its society, to describe and circumscribe not simply the literary matter but the literary culture and societal context. For that reason, the Handbook devotes considerable space at the front to various contextual essays, and throughout tries to keep the contextual demands in mind. In its scope and in its pluralism of voices this Handbook thus represents a new approach to the Second Sophistic, one that attempts to integrate Greek literature of the Roman period into the widerworld of early imperial Greek, Latin, Jewish, and Christian cultural production, and one that keeps a sharp focus situating these texts within their socio-cultural context. Focusing on the period known as the Second Sophistic, this Handbook offers guidance on the wide range of textual materials that survive, many of which are useful or even core to inquiries of particularly current interest, while also keeping a sharp focus on how we can best situate these texts within the broader socio-cultural milieu.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Aristotle in the Antebellum South addresses two questions related to the use of the classical past in the context of the proslavery argument as it developed in the 1830s, 40s, and 50s. First, what specific ideological needs did Aristotelian ideas about natural hierarchy serve in the antebellum South? Ideas about natural slavery explicitly marked as Aristotelian had been universally rejected by slavery's apologists almost from the moment of theirformulation in the fourth century BCE. Second, why did the generation of Americans that came of age in the first half of the nineteenth century focus almost exclusively on the evils of Rome of the late Republic andearly empire, while the founders had looked to early republican Rome as a model for the new nation?The answers to both questions, unsurprisingly, have much to do with race and slavery, but this is only part of the problem. In this book, Daniel Richter addresses reasons beyond southerners simply looking to the past for precedent and justification for their own racialized and gendered hierarchies. Richter suggests that racism, in the sense of an ideology that maintainsthat the inferiority of a descent group is innate, unchangeable, and permanent, is a justification of slavery that is peculiar to democratic societies that conceptualize their republican freedom in termsof nature.
