Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Diatribe IV 1 peri eleutherias is one of the most compact (and at the same time one of the longest) of Epictetus discourses (around 100 AD) which was handed down to us by the historian Arrian. This quintessential text not only combines many pivotal subjects taught by the Stoic but also demonstrates his remarkable art of persuasiveness. In addition to a detailed introduction, the text, the translation and a running commentary, the volume contains a series of essays which are based on passages in the text, and these reveal further Epictetian contexts as well as an analysis of the philosophical background and the contemporary environment. The authors deal with slavery and manumission, Epictetus theory of freedom in relationship to the classical Stoic doctrine as well as Epictetus theology and its relationship to the New Testament. German text.

Die Diatribe IV 1 peri eleutherias ist eine der dichtesten (und zugleich eine der langeren) Unterredungen Epiktets (um 100 n. Chr.), die uns der Historiker Arrian uberliefert hat. Dieser exemplarische Text bundelt nicht nur viele zentrale Lehrthemen des Stoikers, sondern demonstriert auch markant seine psychagogische Kunst. Der Band enthalt neben ausfuhrlicher Einleitung, Text und Ubersetzung sowie fortlaufendem Kommentar auch eine Reihe von Essays, die ihren Ausgang von konkreten Textpassagen nehmen, um andere epiktetische Zusammenhange sowie weitergespannte Analysen des philosophischen Hintergrunds und des zeitgenossischen Umfelds zu entfalten. Behandelt werden Sklaverei und Freilassung, Epiktets Theorie der Freiheit im Verhaltnis zur klassischen stoischen Lehre sowie Epiktets Theologie und ihr Verhaltnis zum Neuen Testament.
