Die Abhandlung De mundo (�ber den Kosmos), die auf das 1. Jahrhundert v. Chr. datiert wird, bietet eine Kosmologie in peripatetischer Tradition dar, wobei platonische und stoische Denkfiguren mit einflie�en. Alle Geschehnisse im Kosmos werden der Herrschaft eines allm�chtigen Gottes untergeordnet. Aus diesem Grund ist das Werk paradigmatisch f�r philosophische und religi�se Konzepte der fr�hen r�mischen Kaiserzeit, die Ber�hrungspunkte mit dem entstehenden Christentum aufweisen. Der Band enth�lt den griechischen Text und die �bersetzung von De mundo, sowie erl�uternde Essays �ber Sprache und Stil, Geographie, Kosmotheologie und Rezeptionsgeschichte.

About this title

Synopsis

The treatise De mundo (On the Cosmos), dated around the 1st century BCE, offers a cosmology in the Peripatetic tradition which draws also on Platonic and Stoic thought and subordinates what happens in the cosmos to the might of an omnipotent god. Thus the work is paradigmatic for the philosophical and religious concepts of the early imperial age, which offer points of contact with nascent Christianity. In line with the aims of the SAPERE series, this volume on De mundo is explicitly interdisciplinary by nature, bringing together contributions from scholars from a broad spectrum of disciplines and specialisations which focus on specific topics, each from its own disciplinary perspective. The volume contains a Greek text and translation of De mundo as well as interpretive essays on the language and style, geography, cosmotheology and the reception in or possible influence of De mundo in various intellectual traditions.
