Karl Julius Beloch
Karl Julius Beloch (21 January 1854 in Nieder-Petschkendorf – 1 February 1929 in Rome) was a German classical and economic historian. Biography From 1872 to 1875, he studied classical philology and ancient history in Freiburg, Heidelberg and Rome, obtaining his PhD from the University of Rome in 1875 (thesis "''Sulla costituzione politica dell'Elide''").

In 1912/13, he was a professor of ancient history at the University of Leipzig. Beloch is known for his critical examinations of classical Greek and Roman history. He was skeptical of traditional sources, and frequently presented a new and subjective reconstruction of historical events.

In 1889 Beloch was denied professorship at Breslau, a posit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Paul Kretschmer
Paul Kretschmer (2 May 1866 – 9 March 1956) was a German linguist who studied the earliest history and interrelations of the Indo-European languages and showed how they were influenced by non-Indo-European languages, such as Etruscan. Biography Kretschmer was born in Berlin, where he studied classic and Indo-European philology under Hermann Diels. His epochal study of pre-Greek elements in ancient Greek was his 1896 ''Einleitung in die Geschichte der griechischen Sprache'' (''Introduction to the History of the Greek Language''). Comparing Greek place names with their foreign counterparts in ancient Anatolia, he concluded that a non-Greek, Mediterranean culture had preceded the Greeks there, leaving extensive linguistic traces. The discoveries of the archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans at Knossos, Crete, around 1900 tended to confirm Kretschmer's views. Following a professorship at the University of Marburg in Germany (1897–99), Kretschmer occupied the chair in comparative lingu ...

Quaestiones Naturales
''Naturales quaestiones'' (''Natural Questions'') is a Latin work of natural philosophy written by Seneca the Younger, Seneca around 65 AD. It is not a systematic encyclopedia like the ''Naturalis Historia'' of Pliny the Elder, though with Pliny's work it represents one of the few Roman works dedicated to investigating the natural world. Seneca's investigation takes place mainly through the consideration of the views of other thinkers, both Greek and Roman, though it is not without original thought. One of the most unusual features of the work is Seneca's articulation of the natural philosophy with moralising episodes that seem to have little to do with the investigation. Much of the recent scholarship on the ''Naturales Quaestiones'' has been dedicated to explaining this feature of the work. It is often suggested that the purpose of this combination of ethics and philosophical 'physics' is to demonstrate the close connection between these two parts of philosophy, in line with the ...
