    Les athéismes de Bion de Borysthène
    Philosophie Antique 18 193-215. 2018.
    Bion de Borysthène, qui a fréquenté l’école académicienne (Xénocrate), cynique (Cratès) et cyrénaïque (Théodore), ne faisait pas partie des listes traditionnelles d’athées en circulation dans l’Antiquité, mais on lui attribue pourtant la formule athée d’après laquelle « il n’y a pas de dieux » (Diogène Laërce, IV, 55). L’examen des témoignages montre qu’il pouvait être qualifié d’athée à deux niveaux. Tout d’abord, aussi bien au niveau théorique que pratique, il adoptait une attitude très critiq…Read more

    Krates of Thebes
    The Encyclopedia of Ancient History. 2017.
    Krates of Thebes (ca. 368/365–288/285), who adopted the Cynic way of life and renounced his fortune, was a pupil of Diogenes of Sinope. His marriage with Hipparchia of Maroneia (who was herself a Cynic philosopher) was known as a kynogamia (marriage of dogs) since everything was done in public by the spouses. Krates left a diverse poetic works, written in a parodic and witty style, but with a moral purpose and promoting the natural and simple life. He taught Zeno of Kition, the founder of Stoici…Read more

    Bion of Borysthenes
    The Encyclopedia of Ancient History. 2017.
    Bion of Borysthenes (ca. 335–245 bce), after being the favorite slave of a rhetor, went to Athens, where he attended the main schools of philosophy at that time: the Academy (Xenokrates), Cynicism, the Cyrenaic school (Theodorus the Atheist), and the Lyceum (Theophrastus). Although his teaching was mostly influenced by Cynic themes (focus on ethics, condemnation of pleasure, sexual desire, greed, traditional religion, and promotion of a simple life), and witty style (spoudaiogeloion), he did not…Read more

    Self‑sufficiency of the Good and dependency of Being? From Republic to Sophist. Even thought Parmenides doesn’t use αὐτάρκης and any noun derived from this root, the Being is conceived by him as self‑sufficient. Plato, for its part, never uses this term concerning the intelligible reality ; however, in the Sophist, he allusively challenges Parmenides self‑sufficiency of Being and outlines an ontology that is conflicting with it. On the other hand self‑sufficiency is explicitly ascribed by Plato …Read more

    Une étude des fragments retrouvés du texte République attribué à Diogène de Sinope, fondateur de l'école cynique, qui reconstitue la description de la cité paradoxale, où les règles ordinaires et les interdits les plus fondamentaux sont renversés.
  • Self‑sufficiency of the Good and dependency of Being? From Republic to Sophist. Even thought Parmenides doesn’t use αὐτάρκης and any noun derived from this root, the Being is conceived by him as self‑sufficient (v. 8,33). Plato, for its part, never uses this term concerning the intelligible reality ; however, in the Sophist, he allusively challenges Parmenides self‑sufficiency of Being and outlines an ontology that is conflicting with it. On the other hand self‑sufficiency is explicitly ascribed…Read more

    Œnomaus of Gadara, in his work Detection of Deceivers, of which long fragments are preserved by Eusebius of Caesarea, contests Apollo’s oracles in name of the human action contingency. His targets are not only the Democritean and Stoic determinism, but also the Middle Platonic view of conditional fate. In a fictional address to Apollo, he demonstrates the contingency of the action, in an original way, which he extends to the field of the animal action. The examination of his argument shows that …Read more

    «Revetir la vie des chiens», l'animal comme modele moral
    Archai: Revista de Estudos Sobre as Origens Do Pensamento Ocidental 11 69-78. 2013.
    Si la référence des cyniques anciens à l’animal comme modèle est bien connue, il est plus difficile d’en comprendre le sens, car ils ne sont pas les seuls dans l’Antiquité à évoquer l’animal dans un contexte éthique. En partant de la définition aristotélicienne du paradigme, il est dans un premier temps montré que l’animal intervient parfois chez les cyniques dans le cadre d’une induction qui présuppose qu’homme et animal appartiennent à un même genre moral. Mais l’animal apparaît également, dan…Read more
