The below is ONLY for hardcore rhetoric nerds. LONGINUS On The Sublime ...or how to be real fucking dull while lecturing us on how not to be real fucking dull. This is one of those rhetorics that reminds me of why I love the Sophists. They didn't come from posh backgrounds and had to sing for their sup Leggi tutto
The text here is the 1890 Havell translation. Its introduction is thoughtful regarding the identity of the author; I happen to prefer, aesthetically, the thesis that author is the cat executed by Aurelian when the latter became restitutor orientis . Heavily laden with tautology and other faux definiti Leggi tutto
This little book, written by an unknown author sometime in the first century AD*, is the most significant piece of literary criticism surviving from ancient Rome. The author argues that exceptional (or “sublime”) writing contains at least one of five features: (i) The power to conceive “great though Leggi tutto

Πώς προκύπτει το "ύψος" στην ποίηση και τη ρητορική; Ποια τεχνάσματα μπορεί να μηχανευτεί κανείς ώστε να ηχεί σαν κεραυνός ο λόγος του, να εκστασιάζει και να μεταφέρει κρυστάλλινο το μήνυμα; Ο Λογγίνος, ο άγνωστος συγγραφέας του 1ου αι. μ.Χ., μέσα από μια εκπληκτική πραγματεία που σώζεται αποσπασματ Leggi tutto
But Longinus' book, taken as a whole, is far from Plato's pessimism. He shows us that great thoughts have been uttered by great men in the past; perhaps they could be uttered again. —D. A. Russell, Introduction__________You have asked me to set down a few notes on sublimity for your own use. Let us Leggi tutto
¡Hermoso libro! Además de su valor como manual de retórica, y de la belleza como fue escrito, nos recuerda en cada página que la mediocridad es una (mala) elección, pues nuestra naturaleza nos empuja hacia la grandeza y lo sublime. Impresiona como un texto de hace más de veinte siglos sigue hablándo Leggi tutto
I almost never like these philosophical readings and I almost never think when I read about thinking about thinking. But I thoroughly annotated this little book and I thought about the bits and pieces afterwards and I think the impressive thing about this is that it takes something I am often to emb Leggi tutto
