Abstract

In strom. V.9.1 and strom. V.14.103–106, Clement of Alexandria presents opinions (doxai) of Greek philosophers regarding ‘eschatology’. By making use of so-called doxographies (i.e. the collection of philosophical opinions on a particular topic), Clement employs a popular method in contemporary philosophical debate. In this article, I will show how Clement reinterprets philosophers’ opinions and modifies them to construct a philosophical proof for (Christian) eschatology. It allows him to make controversial topics such as ‘final judgement’ and ‘resurrection’ more plausible to his philosophically educated readers, as according to him, these ideas have already been discussed and confirmed by several well-known philosophers (Heraclitus, Empedocles, Plato and the Stoics).

亚历山大的克莱门特中的颂词和末世论

在 strom.V.9.1 和 strom.V.14.103-106 中，亚历山大的克莱门特介绍了希腊哲学家关于 "末世论 "的观点（doxai）。通过使用所谓的 doxographies（即收集关于特定主题的哲学观点），克莱门特采用了当代哲学辩论中一种流行的方法。在本文中，我将展示克莱门特如何重新诠释哲学家们的观点并加以修改，从而为（基督教）末世论构建一个哲学证明。这使他能够让受过哲学教育的读者对 "最终审判 "和 "复活 "等有争议的话题更加信服，因为根据他的说法，这些观点已经被几位著名的哲学家（赫拉克利特、恩培多克勒、柏拉图和斯多葛派）讨论过并得到了证实。
