Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Antiphon, en grec ancien / (Rhamnos, Attique v.-480-Athènes -410), est l'un des dix grands orateurs attiques. La question de savoir si Antiphon de Rhamnonte (de l'oligarchie des Quatre-Cents) et Antiphon d'Athènes sont un seul et même personnage historique, d'une part, et si les textes de l'orateur (selon la tradition initiée par Caecilius de Calé Acté), du politique, du logographe, du rhéteur (auteur des Tétralogies) et du sophiste (auteur des fragments sur papyrus de De la concorde et De la vérité), d'autre part, sont du même ou de plusieurs auteurs fait l'objet de débats toujours d'actualité. Enfin d'autres Antiphon ont été connus en Grèce antique, comme le poète tragique auquel Aristote fait référence dans La Rhétorique (VI, 27). Né dans le dème attique de Rhamnos, Antiphon est le fils de Sophilus, un aristocrate athénien et sophiste. Son grand-père est un fervent soutien des Pisistratides. Antiphon apprend l'art oratoire de son père et entame une carrière de logographe et de sophiste, enseignant à son tour la rhétorique. Après avoir été le maître de Thucydide, qui le défend ensuite avec chaleur dans ses écrits, il s'engage en politique sur la fin de sa vie : il participe à la révolution oligarchique des Quatre-Cents en -411. À la chute du régime, en -410, il est jugé pour trahison, et malgré un discours passionné de défense, dont Thucydide dit qu'il est « le plus parfait qu'on ait jamais entendu dans une affaire capitale », il est condamné à boire la ciguë cette même année.

Excerpt: Pyrrho (ca. 360 BC - ca. 270 BC), a Greek philosopher of classical antiquity, is credited as being the first Skeptic philosopher, and the inspiration for the school known as Pyrrhonism founded by Aenesidemus in the 1st century BC. Pyrrho was from Elis, on the Ionian Sea. Diogenes Laertius, quoting from Apollodorus, says that Pyrrho was at first a painter, and that pictures by him were exhibited in the gymnasium at Elis. Later he was diverted to philosophy by the works of Democritus, and according to Diogenes Laertius became acquainted with the Megarian dialectic through Bryson, pupil of Stilpo. Pyrrho, along with Anaxarchus, travelled with Alexander the Great on his exploration of the East, and studied under the Gymnosophists in India and the Magi in Persia. This exposure to Eastern philosophy seems to have inspired him to adopt a life of solitude; returning to Elis, he lived in poor circumstances, but was highly honored by the Elians and also by the Athenians, who conferred upon him the rights of citizenship. Pyrrho wrote nothing. His doctrines were recorded in the satiric writings of his pupil Timon of Phlius (the Sillographer). Unfortunately these works are mostly lost. Today Pyrrho's ideas are known mainly through the book Outlines of Pyrrhonism written by the Greek physician Sextus Empiricus. The main principle of Pyrrho's thought is expressed by the word acatalepsia, which connotes the ability to withhold assent from doctrines regarding the truth of things in their own nature; against every statement its contradiction may be advanced with equal just...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=140651 ...
