Paideia: The World of the Second Sophistic

About this book

In der Welt der Zweiten Sophistik stellte Bildung, paideia, einen entscheidenden Faktor in den Machtdiskursen dar. FĂŒr die kaiserzeitlichen Eliten wurde die Verbindung von Kenntnissen auf den Gebieten der Medizin, Geschichte, Philosophie und Dichtung mit rhetorischer Brillanz und reprĂ€sentativem Auftreten zum Kennzeichen eines umfassenden Habitus. Dieser garantierte einen hohen Sozialstatus, politische und ökonomische Macht fĂŒr den Einzelnen sowie maßgebliche Vorteile fĂŒr ihre HeimatstĂ€dte in der StĂ€dtekonkurrenz. Da sich Bildung wesentlich auf die klassisch-griechische Antike bezog, war sie zudem entscheidend fĂŒr das neue Selbstbewusstsein des griechischen Ostens. Dieser Band fĂŒhrt erstmals in multidisziplinĂ€rer Breite verschiedenste Lebensbereiche und Medien zusammen, in denen sich diese Ideologie manifestiert. So wird deutlich, dass die Sophisten und ihre Texte nur die Exponenten eines Systems von Denkweisen und Wertvorstellungen waren, welche das Leben der Eliten insgesamt strukturierte.
