摘要

本文考察了爱比克泰德将运动意象作为一种教学工具的运用，以及他对哲学家可以从运动员身上学到什么的看法。本文认为，这种意象具有重要的保护或激励功能。爱比克泰德把美德比作奥运会的胜利，把哲学的进步比作运动训练，以此激励学生们过一种哲学的生活，把斯多葛主义视为一种道德变革的实践，而不是抽象的智力追求。这些比较也表明，爱比克泰德认为获得美德和运动成就是相似的追求，正因为如此，哲学家可以从运动员的例子中受益。

Athletic imagery as an educational tool in Epictetus

ABSTRACT This paper examines Epictetus’ use of athletic imagery as a pedagogical tool and what this tells us about his views on what philosophers can learn from athletes. This paper argues that this imagery serves an important protreptic, or motivational, function. By comparing virtue to Olympic victory and philosophical progress to athletic training, Epictetus inspires students to take up a life of philosophy and treat Stoicism as an ethically transformative practice rather than an abstract intellectual pursuit. These comparisons also show that Epictetus considers achieving virtue and athletic excellence to be similar kinds of pursuits, and because of this the philosopher can benefit by learning from the athlete’s example.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
