Personality in Greek Epic, Tragedy, and Philosophy: The Self in Dialogue, by Christopher Gill

This is a major study of conceptions of selfhood and personality in Homer and Greek Tragedy and Philosophy. The focus is on the norms of personality in Greek psychology and ethics. Gill argues that the key to understanding Greek thought of this type is to counteract the subjective and individualistic aspects of our own thinking about the person. He defines an "objective-participant" conception of personality, symbolized by the idea of the person as an interlocutor in a series of psychological and ethical dialogues.

Review

"This is an extraordinarily rich and fascinating book, one which is destined...to alter the course of work in the several classical disciplines on which it impinges."--Bryn Mawr Classical Review.


"..if we are to grapple intelligently with the idea of 'personality', 'selfhood' or 'character' in an ancient text, we first have to sweep away a large and dusty residue of contemporary assumptions and prejudices. Christopher Gill...has now provided us with a sturdy and well-constructed broom with which to do so. It is the strength of Gill's study that he does not argue at the level of theory alone, but discusses in detail any number of non-philosophical passages in ancient literature earlier than Plato and Aristotle (especially epic and tragedy) to see whether his hypothesis can stand."--The Literary Review

it could have been epic

Nowdays, mathematical modeling is moving from the realm of mathematical physics to the realm of (evolutionary game) dynamics. The lattter is an agent based theory that requires a psycho-ethical model (PEM). This outstanding contribution provides a way of such modeling based on the objective-participant PEM provided by the ancient greek culture. It is in sharp contrast to the semi-theological (and deeply flawed) subjective-individualistic model of Descartes and Kant. The classical model can help understand where romanticism and prewar german philosophical thought went astray (classical example Nietzsche's idealistic thoughts on wish-morality or Kant's supposedly universal moral principles which can justify one's individualistic ethics); it is the best cure against modern autistic view of the western man whose disastreous effects are now clear. Noting its objective character, it is no surprise that modern mathematical modeling of social/economic/political dynamics follows exactly the ancient greek model. This is one can see by analysing the structure of modern game theory.

The great value of the text lies on the exceptional questions and material. One could hardly thought of giving it less than five stars. Unfortunately the author's exposition is the weakest link in the whole project. Just to give an idea of what I mean: on pg 111 one reads: "His explanation is less provocative than that suggested by Nietzsche; in fact it is one that brings Bradley rather closer than Butscher to Aristotle's position on this issue. Bradley's theory of tragedy is presented as modification to Hegel's". And so it goes on. I wish one could read carefully this marvellous book and than compress it to a third of its size.

Nevertheless, this is an amazing reading that I wholeheartedly appreciate and recommend.
