  • Performing Justice in the Later Roman Empire

    par Peter Van Nuffelen ...
    In the Later Roman Empire (AD 300–650), power seems to manifest itself mostly through legislation, bureaucracy, and an increasingly distant emperor. This book focuses instead on personal interaction as crucial to the exercise of power. It studies four social practices (petitions, parrhesia, intercession, and collective action) to show how they are much more dynamic than often assumed. These ... En savoir plus

  • Studies on the Melitian Schism in Egypt (AD 306–335)

    par Hans Hauben, edited by Peter Van Nuffelen ...
    Collections series Variorum Collected Studies
    The Melitian schism originated in the context of the Diocletianic persecution.

  • Historiography and Space in Late Antiquity

    Modifié par Peter Van Nuffelen ...
    The Roman Empire traditionally presented itself as the centre of the world, a view sustained by ancient education and conveyed in imperial literature. Historiography in particular tended to be written from an empire-centred perspective. In Late Antiquity, however, that attitude was challenged by the fragmentation of the empire. This book explores how a post-imperial representation of space emerges ... En savoir plus

  • Rethinking the Gods

    Philosophical Readings of Religion in the Post-Hellenistic Period

    par Peter van Nuffelen ...
    Collections series Greek Culture in the Roman World
    Ancient philosophers had always been fascinated by religion. From the first century BC onwards the traditionally hostile attitude of Greek and Roman philosophy was abandoned in favour of the view that religion was a source of philosophical knowledge. This book studies that change, not from the usual perspective of the history of religion, but as part of the wider tendency of Post-Hellenistic ... En savoir plus

  • One God

    Pagan Monotheism in the Roman Empire

    Modifié par Stephen Mitchell, Peter Van Nuffelen ...
    Graeco-Roman religion in its classic form was polytheistic; on the other hand, monotheistic ideas enjoyed wide currency in ancient philosophy. This contradiction provides a challenge for our understanding of ancient pagan religion. Certain forms of cult activity, including acclamations of 'one god' and the worship of theos hypsistos, the highest god, have sometimes been interpreted as evidence for ... En savoir plus

    Monks, Laymen, and Christian Ritual

    par Claudia Rapp ...

    For a Theological Genealogy of Economy and Government

    par Giorgio Agamben ...
    Traduit par Lorenzo Chiesa, Matteo Mandarini ...
    Collections series Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics
    Why has power in the West assumed the form of an "economy," that is, of a government of men and things? If power is essentially government, why does it need glory, that is, the ceremonial and liturgical apparatus that has always accompanied it?In the early centuries of the Church, in order to reconcile monotheism with God's threefold nature, the doctrine of Trinity was introduced in the guise of ...
