Introduction
2022
In the introduction to the volume, the editors explain the overarching aim of the volume and contextualize the main themes of its chapters. Even if the notions of biopolitics and biopower have played a crucial role in philosophy, the humanities, and the social sciences over the last decades, they have been used in various and at times diverging senses, which has also produced different narratives about the history of biopolitics. The main aim of the volume is to clarify whether and to what extent the concept of biopolitics is applicable to antiquity. To answer such questions, the chapters collected in the volume address three main topics, namely the possible presence of biopolitical discour…
Platone e gli Eleati (I)
2017
Si argomenta (alla luce del "Sofista") come nel "Parmenide" Platone cerchi di mostrare a quali contraddizioni e assurdità porti la dialettica sull´essere di Parmenide. Se da un lato Platone rileva in maniera impietosa i limiti della dialettica eleatica, dall´altro sembra riconoscere a Parmenide alcuni meriti.

Receptive Reason: Alexander of Aphrodisias on Material Intellect
2010
AbstractAccording to Alexander of Aphrodisias, our potential intellect is a purely receptive capacity. Alexander also claims that, in order for us to actualise our intellectual potentiality, the intellect needs to abstract what is intelligible from enmattered perceptible objects. Now a problem emerges: How is it possible for a purely receptive capacity to perform such an abstraction? It will be argued that even though Alexander’s reaction to this question causes some tension in his theory, the philosophical motivation for it is a sound one. Rather than a calculation of actualities and potentialities, the doctrine of receptivity is supposed to explain how human beings come to grasp universal…

Dorandis neue Ausgabe von Diogenes Laertios
2017
Dorandi hat eine hervorrangende Ausgabe von Diogenes Laertios aufgestellt. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt, dass das Antigraphon von BFP eine Majuskelhandschrift war, und dass die Excerpta Vaticana und Suidas aus derselben Überlieferung geschöpft haben. Es wird auch erwiesen, dass die Excerpta Vaticana den ps.-Hesychios (De viris illustribus) voraussetzen. Außerdem werden mehr als hundert neue Konjekturen vorgeschlagen.
