Produktinformationen zu „Mensch und Tier in der Antike “
These conference proceedings explore the encounter of human and animal nature from a philological, historical and archaeological perspective in areas such as the body, myth, religion and cult, politics and philosophy. Ancient texts and images present a broad variety of approaches to the question of how, if at all, to define the boundaries between both species. At the same time it becomes evident, how strongly the conception of both humans and animals were shaped by anthropomorphism, so that a distinction between both is in the end impossible.
Klappentext zu „Mensch und Tier in der Antike “
The relation between humans and animals has undergone a recent paradigm shift. New technologies and especially ethical discourses have blurred the boundaries between human and animal. This causes much uncertainty which must be understood against the backdrop of a specific Western tradition rooted in Graeco-Roman antiquity. But how narrowly defined were the boundaries at that time? The present volume, the proceedings of an international conference held at Rostock University in 2005, explores ancient ideas of boundaries between humans and animals as well as their transgression from philological, philosophical, archaeological and historical points of view. In addition to Classical antiquity, Scythian and Egyptian civilizations are also considered. The papers investigate the conceptions that stand behind presumed natural features/characteristics of humans and animals. They do not focus on realia, but on the ideas that manifest themselves in language, text and image and that could become constitutive for reality. The volume's interdisciplinary approach allows for capturing the spectrum and complexity of the ancient imagination, in which strict dichotomies and definitions parallel gradual differentiation to the point of dissolving boundaries. The contributions include investigations of various models of the scala naturae in Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics; the use of animals as analogy or symbol in political discourse as well as in ritual contexts; hybridity and metamorphosis in visual (Greek vases, cult images, late antique mosaics) and literary traditions (Aristophanes, Ovid); hierarchies and taxonomies in society and religion, for instance in the context of hunt or sacrifice or at the edges of the world where other rules prevail. All testimonies share a conception of humans and animals that is based on an anthropomorphic approach already fixed, to some extent, in language. Although the transfer of hierarchies between humans and animals onto the relation between men

Rezension zu „Mensch und Tier in der Antike “
"The present book originated in a symposium held at the University of Rostock, Germany, in 2005. Subject is the relationship between man and animal in antiquity, a theme explored in 25 papers. Typical subjects discussed are: Plato, Aristotle, Aristophanes, and the Stoics on animals; hunting practices; animal sacrifice; animal imagery in political writings; imaginary animals; hybrid beings that combine animal and human traits; the Egyptian veneration of animals (or deities in animal form); animals in ancient art. Unfortunately, there is nothing on ancient Cynic philosophy and its suggestion that humans remain unhappy as long as they do not return to the happy existence of animals. Also lacking is an index. Nevertheless, this is a good scholarly resource, to be praised for the English abstract that accompanies each papaer."In: International Review of Biblical Studies. 56 (2009) 10. No. 1383
Pressezitat
"The 25 chapters are based on papers presented at a conference and investigate how the line between man and beast was drawn and redrawn, investigated, challenged and occasionally crossed in a number of ancient texts and contexts [...] [This volume] illustrates how the question of the animal resonates beyond the confines of the philosophical debate."Von: Julia Kindt, University of Sydney
