Gabriele Flamigni, « Walking at the Same Pace: The Relevance and Models of Clarity in Epictetus’ Teaching », HAL-SHS : philosophie, ID : 10670/1.o4acxk
At this convention I presented a paper titled “Walking at the same pace. On the Relevance and Models of Clarity in Epictetus’ Teaching”. The object of my speech was an analysis of some chapters from Epictetus’ Discourses aimed at showing the relevance of the notion of clarity (ἐνάργεια) in his theory of didactic communication. I discussed both his methodological reflection on this subject and his implementation of this method. Before doing so, I presented the main ancient conceptions of ἐνάργεια and summarized the existing critical literature on the theme of my speech. Lastly, I ran through the models of Epictetus’ theory of communicative clarity.
