‎London: Routledge. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1990. Hardcover. 0415043220 . Very light shelfwear to book and DJ. ; Ix 283pp. In this examination of the bases of thought and language Professor Julius Moravcsik explores recent approaches to these topics and discusses the philosophical assumptions behind theories of language. He puts forward a new theory of meaning that is also a proposal about human concepts: viewing meanings as explanatory schemata and interpreting human cognition as primarily explanation-seeking rather than information processing. This view of cognition Professor Moravcsik argues need not commit itself to either dualism or materialism. He defends the Platonic assumptions of his proposal showing them to be no less "scientific" than current fashionable alternatives. Professor Moravcsik explores new ways of philosophizing that differ from analytic philosophy and its continental alternatives and indicates how philosophers today can construct proposals about thought and language that have both conceptual and empirical import. This book should be of interest to students and teachers of philosophy of language and philosophy of mind and advanced students of cognitive science and linguistics. ; 283 pages .

‎Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1985. Paperback. 0521289580 . Wraps have yellowing. Minor shelfwear. Scholar's name to ffep Catherine Rubincam. ; If a scholar wishes to create a picture of a topical society in all its aspects there is little of what he needs to know that he cannot know although there may still be much that he cannot understand. For the history of Greece and Rome there is a great deal that is simply unknowable. From the end of the archaic age of Greece there is an unbroken sequence of works by Greek and later Roman historians down to the end of antiquity. Their vision and range of interest were often limited and much of what they produced has been lost. Some help may be derived from the documentary material supplied in antiquity material that was the product of officials organising public activities or heads of families organising their affairs or individuals leaving their mark on the world. Beyond this the evidence of archaeology and numismatics may also be helpful. The four essays in this book set out to characterise the nature of the ancient literary tradition the inscriptional material the archaeological and numismatic evidence and to explain how and for what purposes they may be used.

Light yellowing and faint creasing to rear wrap. ; 128 pages; Early in his life and again in maturity Horace sought to turn his poetic skills to the uses of moral and aesthetic discussion in the series of didactic works translated here. In the Satires Horace adopts one persona after another each of which reduces himself to absurdity in the process of trying to argue a point of view about the ethical or artistic life. The form of the Epistles permits Horace to write with particular intimacy addressing moral issues in a persuasive yet informal way. The third epistle The Art of Poetry on the other hand is a formal poem addressed to the emperor Augustus and seeks to educate the poetic taste of the ruler of the western world. . W. W.

‎WIT AND THE WRITING OF HISTORY The Rhetoric of Historiography in Imperial Rome‎

‎Madison WI U.S.A.: University of Wisconsin Press. Very Good. 1988. Softcover. 0299118045 . Minor curling of wraps along foreedges. Light shelfwear. ; Wit has many uses in political discourse—to entertain to underscore or unmask to hinder or enhance insight. Wit and the Writing of History focuses on how this potential is realized in the historiography of the earlier Principate. Preeminently in Tacitus to a lesser degree in Suetonius and Dio Cassius wit is a vehicle for political understanding and judgment of the historical account. As part of Roman political life hostile anecdotal or epigrammatic wit was deeply embedded in the sources used by historians and is reflected in the rhetoric of their narratives. Some anecdotes may in fact have been mere jests later taken as fact hence the frequent problem of credulity. But what is historically false can be politically true. Not only were political jokes a weapon for making some fair points against the Principate; ancient rhetorical theory recognized that wit in general arises from a violation of normal expected ways of thinking. What is “funny” is thus disturbing in a serious way as well as amusing and in the hands of Tacitus wit becomes scalpel as well as sword. ; Wisconsin Studies in Classics; 182 pages .
