In particular, attention is drawn to some Platonic passages that may have guided philological as well as theoretical reflection of Calogero; the vision about dialogue as a hermeneutic model; finally, Calogero’s reaction against
Jaeger’s idealization of Greek ethos.
Nel contributo si mettono a fuoco alcuni motivi, meno esaminati
in letteratura, dell’intreccio tra filosofia del dialogo e impegno storiografico sul pensiero antico nell’opera di Guido Calogero. In particolare, si richiama l’attenzione su taluni passi platonici che possono aver orientato la riflessione di Calogero non solo sul piano filologico ma anche teorico; sulla visione del dialogo come modello ermeneutico; infine sulla presa di posizione di Calogero contro l’idealizzazione jaegeriana dell’ethos greco.

codifying practical rules which, although pertinent to instable and accidental reality, may be sufficiently constant over time. Aristotle is at least in part induced to think about the need for both stable and flexible rules by the celebrated criticisms Plato addresses to the “written law”, i.e. political law. But what characterizes Aristotle’s reflection about prescription is his enlarging the horizon of investigation. The prescriptive limits Plato recognizes to the written nomos—its generality with respect to different situations and human characters; its fixity with respect to changing circumstances—lead Aristotle to a total rethinking of the prescriptive issue in order to grasp its foundations in the conception
of deliberate choice, the theory of reasoning, and that of the structure
of human soul. My intention is precisely to bring to light that the premises of Aristotle’s notion of political and legislative prescription reside in some of the fundamental parts of his practical philosophy.

Gabriele Giannantoni a fondare il Centro di Studio del Pensiero
Antico, presso il Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, di cui fu direttore
dal 1979 al 1998. Tra queste ragioni, centrale fu l’impegno a
delineare e stabilire la storia della filosofia antica come una disciplina
che, includendo le metodologie della filologia classica e le categorie
critiche della storia della filosofia, potesse assumere un profilo
autonomo. L’attività di ricerca, le pubblicazioni e le iniziative del
Centro furono ispirate da questa finalità.
The paper describes the main cultural reasons that led Gabriele
Giannantoni to found the Centro di Studio del Pensiero Antico, at
Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, which he directed from 1979 to
1998. Among these reasons, the most relevant was the commitment
to establish the history of ancient philosophy as a discipline which, by
including the methodologies of classical philology and the critical
categories of the history of philosophy, could assume an autonomous
profile. The research, publications and initiatives of the Centro were
inspired by this purpose.
Chrysippean Stoics to the theory of cognitive (kataleptic) impression and its role as a criterion of truth. The inquiry focuses on two testimonies: Sextus Empiricus, M, VII, 253-257, where we find a significant variation – introduced by some ‘recent Stoics’ – of the ancient Stoic theory of the clauses that an impression is supposed to satisfy in order to be
considered not only kataleptic, i.e. worthy of assent, but also a criterion of truth; and PBerol. inv. 16545 containing the version of the theory of clauses of the cognitive impression developed by Antipater of Tarsus.
itself and its essence. In this context Aristotle uses the notion of “good in itself ”, as an example of ἕκαστον which should be identical to its essence : as a consequence of such an identity, “good in itself ” shoud be a synonimous notion and have a univocal definition. Is the treatment of agathon in Metaphysics VII 6 opposed to what Aristotle claims in Ethics and Topics ? In my opinion, what is to be pointed out is not a contradiction, but a difference in perspective, which has rarely been
emphasised. My aim is to analyse the possible reasons for this difference in perspective.

The contribution is focused on the section of PBerol. 9780 VI, 29-IX, 10 where the Stoic Hierocles deals with the notions of phantasia and horme as the main cognitive tools involved in the process of animal appropriation, and the topic of social or altruistic appropriation, which is of major interest for human behaviour. Three subjects are analysed: first, the idea that animals are naturally disposed to love themselves, which is treated at length by Hierocles; secondly, the role played by representation as evaluative judgement; finally, the forms of appropriation, which include both selfish and altruistic attitudes.
