Virtue and sociability. Teaching friendship in early modern schools and universities, 1518-1648 (FRIENDS4EVER)

Abstract:


How did early modern schools and universities in post-Reformation Germany and Poland discuss the notion of friendship in Aristotle and Cicero? To answer that question, I look at commentaries, dissertations, and disputations on the notion of friendship in Cicero’s “De amicitia” and Aristotle’s discussion of the topic in “Nicomachean Ethics”, books 8 and 9. Different editions and translations of the above mentioned texts are being examined, their perception in post-Reformation Germany and Poland is compared. The project also includes a crowd-sourcing task to transcribe some of the disputations and dissertations available.
