  1. Quintilian's Theory of Certainty and Its Afterlife in Early Modern Italy.Charles McNamara - 2016 - Dissertation, Columbia University
    This dissertation explores how antiquity and some of its early modern admirers understand the notion of certainty, especially as it is theorized in Quintilian's Institutio Oratoria, a first-century educational manual for the aspiring orator that defines certainty in terms of consensus. As part of a larger discussion of argumentative strategies, Quintilian turns to the “nature of all arguments,” which he defines as “reasoning which lends credence to what is doubtful by means of what is certain” (ratio per ea quae certa (...)

  • L’invention de la religion grecque.Philippe Borgeaud - 2017 - Kernos 30:9-35.
    La mythologie ainsi que les traditions hermétiques, orphiques et théurgiques semblent à première vue relever du domaine de la religion grecque. Mais nous les voyons tenues à l’écart, jusqu’au xixe siècle, des recherches concernant les cultes et les pratiques rituelles des cités grecques.
