DESCRIPTION:Jonathan Barnes\, Professor Emeritus of Ancient Philosophy\, Paris Sorbonne University\n\nJonathan Barnes\, Professor Emeritus in the Universities of Oxford\, Geneva\, and Paris-Sorbonne\, will present the Howison Lecture on April 11\, 2012 entitled "Death and the Ancient Philosophers ." \n\nAll the ancient philosophers\, pagans and Christians alike\, agreed that death is the separation of a soul and a body. While there was much disagreement on the precise relationship between a being and his soul\, as well as what sort of thing they took a soul to be\, it is the agreement among the philosophers rather than their differences that calls for critical attention. In this lecture\, Barnes will examine the question: “Why did ancient philosophers believe that beings were composed of two parts\, the divorce of which is their death?”\n\nJonathan Barnes is well known for his work in the field of ancient philosophy. Early in his career\, Barnes wrote extensively on the Presocratic philosophers\, and on Aristotle. More recently\, he has been interested in the history of logic and philosophy in the early Roman world. In the two-volume work\, <i>Philosophia togata I and II</i> (1987)\, Barnes explored the role of literature and philosophy in Roman intellectual and political life from the second century BC to the third century AD. In <i>Logic and the Imperial Stoa</i> (1997)\, Barnes looks at “imperial Stoic logic through the eyes of imperial Stoic authors and in the pages of imperial Stoic texts.” He has contributed significantly to the understanding of the history of philosophy in the early imperial period.
