A Philosophical commentary on Cicero, academica priora II 1-62.
PhDIn confining this Commentary to the first 62 sections of the Lucullus
my intention has been to make a special study of Antiochus' case against the
Academic sceptics. Although this is the only full-length counter-argument
against Academic scepticism which we possess (despite the many works written
by both aides in a controversy spanning more than two centuries), due attention
has not been paid to it. Scholars have tended to use Cicero's work as a
source-book for Antiochus' general philosophical views or to confine their
attention to the sceptic case. Even if consideration has been given to the
dogmatic case as well (as by Stough, Greek Skepticism), there has been a
certain bias in favour of the Academic sceptics. This is possibly due to the
fact that the scepticism of the Academy has in itself a strong appeal and
that it has the final word in Cicero's work. But I do not think that Lucullus'
arguments, whatever their shortcomings, are weaker by comparison.
The Lucullus is, not only an extremely important philosophical text,
it is also one of the most difficult. Reid's Commentary is very valuable
but his interest was more literary and general than strictly philosophical.
My own Commentary is concerned solely with the philosophical content of the
dialogue and takes account of relevant work on Hellenistic philosophy since
Reid's edition appeared at the end of the last century, I have tried to
place the arguments and philosophical issues in their ancient context, either,
by means of plausible inferences where direct evidence is lacking or by
reference to classical texts. I am aware that the problem of knowledge is
still an issue today and I have made use of some modern works on the subject,
in elucidating particular arguments, but, in general, I have limited references
to modern philosophy to a minimum in order not to impede understanding of
Cicero's text and not to widen excessively the scope of the Commentary. The
text used is that of Plasborg (Teubner, Leipzig, 1922)
Abundance and chemical characterization of Extracellular Carbohydrates Released by the Marine Diatom Cylindrotheca fusiformis under N- and P-limitation
The effect of P- and N-depletion on the production and molecular-level composition of extracellular carbohydrates released by the diatom Cylindrotheca fusiformis was examined in axenic batch cultures. Inorganic phosphorus depletion caused a higher release of organic carbon per cell compared to nutrient-replete and nitrogen-limited conditions. Gas-chromatographic analysis of the monosaccharide composition of the dissolved fraction showed galactose to be the major component of the exopolymers (33 – 42%). In the P-limited treatment, an increase of galactose content and a decrease of glucose was found, while the composition of the remaining saccharides was almost unaffected. The results point out the relevance of phosphorus limitation not only in causing an increase in total exopolysaccharide production, but also in affecting the neutral aldose composition of the dissolved carbohydrates released by C. fusiformis, with heteropolysaccharides being more abundant than glucan
Extracellular carbohydrates released by the marine diatoms Cylindrotheca closterium, Skeletonema costatum and Thalassiosira pseudonana: effect of P-depletion and growth status
A laboratory study was performed on the extracellular production of carbohydrates by the marine diatoms Cylindrotheca closterium, Thalassiosira pseudonana and Skeletonema costatum. The investigation was aimed at elucidating the role of Pstarvation and growth status on abundance and chemical characteristics of the released non-attached polysaccharides. Inorganic phosphorus depletion determined an increase of total polysaccharides in all species examined compared to nutrient-replete (complete f/2) conditions. The highest abundance of polysaccharides per unit cell was found in T. pseudonana (28.4 Amol C 106 cells), followed by C. closterium (2.56 Amol C 106 cells) and S. costatum (1.18 Amol C 106 cells). Maximum production rates were found at the transition between exponential and stationary growth phase
Gedächtnistraining mit Cicero
Die einen schreiben Vorlesungsinhalte lieber mit der Hand auf Karteikarten, andere lernen, indem sie sich die Dinge wiederholt laut vorsprechen. Egal ob lesend, schreibend, hörend: Lernen ist immer Arbeit, die gerade jetzt zu Semesterende getan werden muss. Wenn der Lernstoff nicht in den Kopf gehen will, hilft ein Blick in die antike Literatur. Auch Rhetoriker wie Cicero wissen, wie schwer das Auswendiglernen ist. Lustiges, Kurioses oder Unanständiges merkt man sich am leichtesten. Am besten..

After the daggers : politics and persuasion after the assassination of Caesar
In this thesis, I examine the nature and role of persuasion in Roman politics in the period immediately following the assassination of Caesar on the Ides of March 44 B.C. until the capture of the city of Rome by his heir Octavianus in August 43 B.C. The purpose of my thesis is to assess the extent to which persuasion played a critical role in political interactions and in the decision-making processes of those involved during this crucial period in Roman history. I do this by means of a careful discussion and analysis of a variety of different types of political interactions, both public and private. As regards the means of persuasion, I concentrate on the role and use of oratory in these political interactions. Consequently, my thesis owes much in terms of approach to the work of Millar (1998) and, more recently, Morstein-Marx (2004) on placing oratory at the centre of our understanding of how politics functioned in practice in the late Roman republic. Their studies, however, focus on the potential extent and significance of mass participation in the late Roman republican political system, and on the contio as the key locus of political interaction. In my thesis, I contribute to improving our new way of understanding late Roman republican politics by taking a broader approach that incorporates other types of political interactions in which oratory played a significant role. I also examine oratory as but one of a variety of means of persuasion in Roman political interactions. Finally, in analyzing politics and persuasion in the period immediately after Caesar’s assassination, I am examining not only a crucial period in Roman history, but one which is perhaps the best documented from the ancient world. The relative richness of contemporary evidence for this period calls out for the sort of close reading of sources and detailed analysis that I provide in my thesis that enables a better understanding of how politics actually played out in the late Roman republic
