Let's explore Macbeth as tragic hero. A thread 👇
Macbeth fits the definition of a tragic hero outlined by Aristotle in his work 'Poetics.' He starts as highly renowned, but a single tragic flaw - in this case, ambition - leads to his downfall. #Macbeth #TragicHero
Other characters initially praise Macbeth's nobility and bravery. However, upon meeting the witches and hearing their prophecy, Macbeth's ambition is awakened, setting the stage for his tragic journey. #CharacterAnalysis
“Whence is it that you found the truth, o, Plato? … I know your teachers, although you seek to conceal them: you learned geometry from the Egyptians, astronomy from the Babylonians, you received pious invocations from the Thracians; the Assyrians taught you a great deal. > 1/2
>And, to the extent the laws [you expound] are true and glorify God, you have benefited yourself from the Jews.”
—Clement of Alexandria, Protrepticus 2/2

Klement adds that Plato took up the doctrine of the immortal soul from Pythagoras, who in turn had appropriated this from the Egyptians.

In recent years, #Stoicism has made a comeback as the ideal #philosophy for those seeking peace in stressful times. Introduce yourself to this way of thinking with a free chapter from @drnancysherman’s book, ‘Stoic Wisdom’. Explore today: academic.oup.com/book/39212/cha… 2/13
Deep dive into #Plato with a free extract from ‘Biopolitics and Ancient Thought’: in this chapter, Mika Ojakangas argues that Plato’s mature political philosophy is fundamentally biopolitical, drawing on Foucault’s ideas of state racism. Read now: academic.oup.com/book/41382/cha… 3/13
Very happy to share that The Oxford Handbook of Digital Ethics is now finished and will be out in the next few months! Some of it is already published online. If you're interested in #DigitalEthics, #AIEthics, #ethics, #privacy, #AI, #philosophy, this one is for you... 🧵👇

In this chapter, Emily Sullivan and Mark Alfano (@moral_psych) develop a normative epistemic framework for sharing information online. They argue recent technological developments call for a rethinking of the norms of testimony. #epistemology

The influence of Immanuel Kant on modern philosophy cannot be underestimated - a thread on #Kant in #Iran
Often in academic departments of philosophy (#analytic but also beyond) #Kant is the key figure if the modern period 2/
He represents a systematic approach to philosophy, to metaphysics, ethics, and much beyond covering theoretical and practical philosophy displacing #Aristotle 3/
As I am growing older, I have started enjoying reading and appreciating certain aspects of the pessimistic philosophy of #Schopenhauer.
One has to read at least these philosophers to develop a broader understanding of society, logic and methods of enquiry->
1. Hume
2. Descartes
3. Hegel
4. Marx
5. Schopenhauer
6. Kant
7. Wittgenstein
8. Berkeley
9. Isaiah Berlin
10. AJ Ayer

Of course, the list above is expandable.
I cannot write the names of all philosophers, logicians, and methodologists in one tweet.
Yes, Anthony Quinton, P.F. Strawson, Quinne, David Donaldson and Amartya Sen (Philosophy of Economics) can be added to the suggested reading list.

A reminder thread of things #Aristotle did NOT say
1. “It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought without accepting it”
nope.

3. “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” [and many variations thereof]
This one has absolutely no basis. Aristotle says many things about education, this just ain’t one of them.

My first encounter with the #Persian #Wittgenstein (1889-1951) in Iran was buying a copy of a translation of #PhilosophicalInvestigations at the Tehran book fair in 1999 - a thread on Wittgenstein in Iran 1/
This translation by Ferydoun Fatemi (d. 2008), a well-known translator of philosophical works with Nashr-e markaz seems to be based on the English 2/
Standard accounts of Wittgenstein do not tend to look at his reception beyond the English speaking context - but for that there are two two excellent introductions which partly problematise the 'early' vs 'late' and SEP entry plato.stanford.edu/entries/wittge… 3/
I picked up this book at the Sophia Bookstore (مكتبة صوفية) in #Kuwait a few months ago - an excellent bookshop btw with knowledgable staff especially on #philosophy - short thread on #Foucault and #contemporary_philosophy 1/
The author Zouaoui Beghoura (الزواوي بغوره) is an Algerian Professor of philosophy at Kuwait University where he has taught since 2002 and is a leading specialist on Michel #Foucault (1926-1984) having translated a number of his works 2/
Most of these works were published by #DaralTalia in #Beirut and this one was also first published there in 2005 3/
Henri Bergson (1859-1941) and his processual approach to self, matter, creativity, intuition and free will had an influence not just on continental philosophy but also on #existentialism and #personalism in the #Islamicate milieu - a thread on #postcolonial #Bergson 1/
I first came across #Bergson notions of creativity, duration and time in the work of Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938) in his Reconstruction (my copy as an undergrad) and Bedil in the Light of Bergson allamaiqbal.com/publications/j… 2/
Years later I came across the work of Souleymane Bachir Diagne and Abdennour Bidar (b. 1971) that indicated the abiding #postcolonial interest in #Bergson #Iqbal and #Lahbabi 3/
The #FususalHikma was a popular work in #SafavidIran attributed to #Farabi (d. 950) although it seems to bear the marks of #Avicennian metaphysics and its terms 1/
The authorship was discussed around 70 years ago in two classic articles 2/
#Intisharat_e_Mawla published it in a #Persian translation with three famous sets of glosses that indicate its popularity in #SafavidIran and #QajarIran 3/
1. I used to work more actively in #moralpsychology. In particular, I thought that #Aristotle’s moral psychology was more sophisticated than a lot of contemporary models. Part of the reason was his view that emotions and beliefs can change one another.
2. I wrote about implications of this idea for #practicalethics here cmu.edu/dietrich/philo…. I still like this work. At some point, though, this work requires more than reflection on Aristotle, since it is based largely on empirical claims.
3. When I see a paper like this sciencedirect.com/science/articl… my initial reaction is something like “Aristotle was so far ahead of his time...l” then I think “I’m glad to see empirical support for this...” and then I think, “in isolation this is just confirmation bias and I need...

Over the past few days as we have made many tweets with clear political messages and added some posts of the same character, we have had a more than a few followers complain about political content (1/10)

Many of the complaints were similar to last year's demands that we stay unpolitical or face unfollowing.

We do want to share the love, wisdom, and wonder from the ancient world and bring enlightenment and joy where possible, but studying antiquity and its inheritance is not simply about admiration, adulation, and emulation.
