Ancient and Modern Selves: Tension or Complementarity?

Date: 16 April 2021

The notion of the self is not only a hotly contested topic of debate in modern ethics, but it is unclear whether the ancients at all possessed a clearly formulated concept of it. The work of Pierre Hadot and Michel Foucault on spiritual exercises and the transformation of the self has stimulated some important recent work on the problems of the self in Hellenistic philosophy. Several important scholars and philosophers (like Brad Inwood, Christopher Gill, Charles Taylor and Bernard Williams) have argued, however, that our view of ancient thinkers on the self is profoundly distorted by the Cartesian subjective-individualist model of selfhood typical of modernity.

The Institute of Philosophy, RCH, cordially invites you to the upcoming online talk: Zoltán Gendler Szabó (YALE) How specific should I be?
 
Abstract:
You can’t normally utter ‘I like that car’ out of the blue when there is no car around. The standard view in philosophy of language is that this is because the sentence fails to express a specific proposition in such a context, and hence, there is nothing specific you can say in uttering it. On the other hand, if you point at a car nearby your utterance is unproblematic: it is true or false depending on whether you like the car you pointed at.

The Kingdom of Hungary in the Árpád era does not take its place in the historical memory as it should deserve. Yet a deeper knowledge of this bright period in the Hungarian history could be an important element of a modern European and Hungarian identity. The Hungarian government wished to facilitate this by adopting the regulation 1832/2013. (XI. 15.) on the Árpád Dynasty Program and related development sub-programs (2013–2038). An Operational Board was set up to elaborate the project, led by Director General of the Research Centre for the Humanities, Pál Fodor. The Board, with the involvement of the leading researchers of the period, developed the Árpád Dynasty Program within a few months, the implementation of which started in 2018.

The program focuses on the preservation, presentation and development of the national memorial site in Székesfehérvár, but it also provides intense support for historical, philological, archaeological, archaeogenetic, etc. research, which enables a more thorough knowledge and presentation of the Árpáds – and the Árpád era in a broader sense. To communicate the results to an international audience, a new English-language series entitled Arpadiana was launched last year by the Research Centre for the Humanities (editors:  Pál Fodor and Attila Zsoldos). This article presents the first four volumes published so far.

The RCH Institute for Musicology commemorates the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s birth anniversary with an international conference with invited scholars on the 4th of December, 2020, from 11 o'clock. The focus is primarily, but not exclusively, on the Beethoven reception in Central and East-Central Europe both from a historical perspective and terms of reception theory. The papers explore the history of the Beethoven cult’s formulation on the level of everyday musical practice, and examine the connections between certain musical centers, prominent institutions and individuals in constructing and cultivating Beethoven’s image both as a person and a composer, and in contextualizing his works.
