Abstract
ABSTRACT One of the many philosophical issues discussed throughout Plutarch's Quaestiones convivales (QC) has to do with the origin and inner structure of the universe, i.e., cosmological discussions. It would be impossible to discuss in detail every passage of the treatise that deals with cosmological issues. Therefore, I chose to limit my analysis to the concepts of chance (τύχη), fate (εἱμαρμένη), ‘what depends on us ’ (τὸ ἐφ' ἡμῖν), and providence (πρóνoια). My purpose is to explain these concepts in the QC and to extract from them a cosmological doctrine.
普鲁塔克的《欢乐的问题》(Quaestiones convivales, QC)讨论了许多哲学问题,其中之一与宇宙的起源和内部结构有关,即宇宙学讨论。要详细讨论论著中涉及宇宙学问题的每一段是不可能的。因此,我选择将我的分析限制在机会(τ μαρμ η)、命运(ε ο μ μ η)、“一切取决于我们”(τ ο ο φ)和天意(πρóνoια)这些概念上。我的目的是在QC中解释这些概念,并从中提取宇宙学教义。
