Title: | Filósofos entre a vida e a morte: Diógenes Laércio e os Pré-Socráticos | Other Titles: | Philodophers between life and death: Diogenes Laertius and the Presocratics | Authors: | Peixoto, Miriam Campolina Diniz | Keywords: | life;death;Presocratics;doxography;vida;morte;Pré-socráticos;doxografia | Issue Date: | 2013 | Publisher: | Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra | Journal: | http://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/29863 | Abstract: | The Lives and opinions of Diogenes Laertius is an important source for the
study of Presocratic philosophy, in spite of the criticisms that have been made concerning
some incongruities and overlaps. In the last few decades his work has been the object of
a renewed interest within the field of ancient doxography studies. However, an aspect
seems to have been insufficiently considered in studies about this work until now, that
of establishing the background of the arrangement by which Diogenes presents the
lives and works of philosophers. Is there in Diogenes, beyond a mere doxographical
interest, the proposition of a certain ideal of philosophy? In other words, could we
perceive in this work something more than a mere rhapsody of lives and doctrines? Our
hypothesis is that Diogenes Laertius makes use of their stories to propose a conception
of vis philosophica, whose basis would be the coherence between life and thought. In this
paper, by focusing on the way he articulates the stories about the lives of philosophers
with reports of their deaths, we intend to approach one aspect by which we judge to be
possible to understand the design of the author of Lives. As Vidas e opiniões de Diógenes Laércio são uma importante fonte para o estudo da filosofia pré-socrática, não obstante as críticas que lhe foram feitas quanto a incongruências e sobreposições. Nas últimas décadas, a sua obra foi objeto de um renovado interesse no âmbito dos estudos sobre a doxografia antiga. No entanto, um aspecto parece não ter sido ainda suficientemente considerado nestes estudos. Tratase de estabelecer o pano de fundo do arranjo no qual são apresentadas as vidas e as obras dos filósofos. Haveria em Diógenes, para além do mero interesse doxográfico, a proposição de um certo ideal da vis philosophica? Em outras palavras, é possível reconhecer nesta obra algo mais que uma mera rapsódia de vidas e doutrinas? Nesta comunicação, pretendemos examinar a hipótese de que a maneira como ele articula as histórias das vidas dos filósofos com o relato de suas mortes torna possível demonstrar o projeto diogeniano de filosofia. |
