Drawing on theoretical paradigms from ecocriticism, this article proposes an understanding of place in the hymn centered on concepts of negotiation, power, and care.

Despite the known limitations of this argument type, historians of philosophy in the late eighteenth century gradually extended its use to cases in which “Plato” seems to be a fanatic (<i>Schwärmer</i>), a contemporary slur leveled by sober professionals against amateur philosophers pretending to revelation. Given the shortcomings of this kind of <i>argument from character</i>, I aim to account for its popularization by placing it within larger disciplinary trends. Unlike other reasons for doubting authenticity (such as anachronism, inconsistency, and contradiction), the argument from character allows the critic to editorialize about philosophical norms. Accordingly, arguing from character in the context of the <i>Epistles</i> became a means of responding to Kant’s critical philosophy. This paper thus argues that a bad argument for the inauthenticity of the Platonic <i>Epistles</i> proliferated because it was useful for a proxy war over how to do philosophy in the context of a nascent and professionalizing discipline, the history of philosophy.</p></p>","PeriodicalId":46223,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the American Philological Association","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142190442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The address speaks to “the state of the Society” at that moment. Significant developments that have occurred in the five months between the annual meeting and the finalizing of this text (mid-June 2024) are noted as updates and provided in the footnotes&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;it is the singular honor&lt;/small&gt; and privilege of serving as president of the Society for Classical Studies (SCS) to be granted the time and the audience to deliver this address. The question of how to use this opportunity and, more broadly, how to use most appropriately and effectively the platform that the presidency provides, has weighed on me throughout this year, and I will say more about that weight in what follows. Specifically regarding the presidential address, however, it was not long ago that the distinguished scholars whose shoes I now try to fill used this occasion to present their current scholarly work. I vividly remember, as a young assistant professor, hearing my own mentors and teachers Robert Kaster and Susan Treggiari employ their presidential addresses to speak about, respectively, the “Shame of the Romans” (1996) and “Cicero between ‘Public’ and ‘Private’” (1997). As recently as a decade &lt;strong&gt;[End Page 351]&lt;/strong&gt; ago, presidents Denis Feeney and Kathryn Gutzwiller spoke, respectively, on “First Similes in Epic” (2014) and “Fantasy and Metaphor in Meleager” (2015).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But times are changing. Scholarly organizations like the SCS, which originated and have long histories as learned societies, are evolving—incrementally and over an extended period—into what might better be described as “professional associations.” The SCS continues to provide fora for scholarly exchange, to be sure. However, its efforts and resources are increasingly devoted to supporting the professional development and careers of its members. Even though the Society no longer organizes and hosts a full-scale placement service at the annual meeting—at one time a very substantial and burdensome commitment—it has continued to post advertisements for academic (and sometimes para- or even nonacademic) positions. Increasingly, the events that the SCS organizes and hosts, both at the annual meeting and outside of it, focus on networking, mentoring, and relationship building.

In many ways, this has been a boon, especially when it comes to working with colleagues in my university's Black World Studies program, who have made an inestimable contribution to the development of my teaching and research. But it has also meant that my own sense of belonging in Classics has been vexed; and, as non-Classics colleagues over the years occasionally sought my opinion \"as a classicist,\" I would find myself wondering how I could explain to them that a certain topic was not discussed in Classics or how I could outline the disciplinary procedures that had come to dictate both the types of questions that mattered in Classics and the limits of their deliberation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I have therefore watched with pleasure as the field of Classics has become increasingly unsettled by calls for transforming its methods and goals, especially when it comes to race—calls which have faced the perhaps predictable &lt;strong&gt;[End Page 63]&lt;/strong&gt; backlash. While it has been amusing to hear labels like \"woke\" weaponized against such endeavors,&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; I admit that I was unprepared to learn that those seeking to redress Classics' many exclusions are also \"joyless,\"&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; as if it was somehow our job to Marie Kondo the ancient world.&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; However, even as I have been inspired by such demands for change, I have often wanted to see more concrete suggestions for changes we can immediately make to our thinking and writing about the ancient world, especially given that many potential allies face limits not in terms of will, but rather of time and energy when it comes to decolonizing Classics.&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; S","PeriodicalId":46223,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the American Philological Association","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140798774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
