摘要

摘要:本文认为，通过斯多葛派和学院派怀疑论者之间的认识论辩论，可以最好地理解菲洛斯特拉托斯关于“疯狂的赫拉克勒斯”杀死他的孩子的一幅画的大意(《想象》2.23)——这一主题在考古学中几乎没有得到证实。首先，我认为这篇前言将欧里庇得斯的《大力神》想象成对斯多葛学派“分类印象”的怀疑批判。接下来，我认为这种神话的哲学框架使菲洛斯特拉托斯能够仔细审视自然主义绘画和生动描述的认识论风险。在此过程中，菲洛斯特拉托斯重新考虑了自然主义和措辞狂热;观众和读者都是疯子。

Philostratus Visualises the Philosophical: Imagines 2.23, Hercules Furens and the Cataleptic Impression

Abstract:This paper argues that Philostratus' ecphrasis of a painting of "mad Hercules" killing his children (Imagines 2.23)—a subject-matter almost unattested in archaeology—is best understood via the epistemological debates between the Stoics and the Academic sceptics. First, I suggest that the ecphrasis visualises Euripides' Hercules furens as a sceptic critique of the Stoics' "cataleptic impression." Next, I suggest that this philosophical framing of the myth enables Philostratus to scrutinise the epistemological stakes of naturalistic painting and vivid description too. In doing so, Philostratus reconsiders naturalism and ecphrasis as manias ; the viewer and the reader as madmen.
