摘要

本文通过三位属于第一罗马帝国时代的哲学家迪奥·克里索斯托姆、爱比克泰德和提尔的马克西姆斯的著作，研究了古代占卜理论与关于个人、神和宇宙的本体论假设之间的关系。通过在最近的人类学研究中探索他们的作品，本文将讨论不同的占卜系统如何产生并嵌入到特定的本体论中。三位作家都把占卜作为一种桥梁偶然性和超越性的手段，并将个人置于宇宙之中。因此，他们对占卜的分析与特定的本体论系统有关:爱比克泰德的单一本体论可简化为一个神圣的物质原则，而迪奥·克里索斯托姆和提尔的马克西姆斯则是一个等级宇宙的多本体论。

Post-Hellenistic Perspectives on Divination, the Individual, and the Cosmos

This article investigates the relation between ancient divinatory theories and ontological assumptions about individuals, the gods, and the cosmos through the writings of Dio Chrysostom, Epictetus, and Maximus of Tyre—three philosophers who belong to the first Roman imperial age. By exploring their works in light of recent anthropological studies, this article will discuss how different divinatory systems generate, and are embedded in, specific ontologies. All three writers analyze divination as a means to bridge contingency and transcendence and to situate individuals within the cosmos. As such, their analysis of divination relates to specific ontological systems: a mono-ontology reducible to one divinematerial principle for Epictetus, and the poly-ontology of a graduated cosmos for Dio Chrysostom and Maximus of Tyre.

期刊介绍： Social Analysis is an international peer-reviewed journal devoted to exploring the analytical potentials of anthropological research. It encourages contributions grounded in original empirical research that critically probe established paradigms of social and cultural analysis. The journal expresses the best that anthropology has to offer by exploring in original ways the relationship between ethnographic materials and theoretical insight. By forging creative and critical engagements with cultural, political, and social processes, it also opens new avenues of communication between anthropology and the humanities as well as other social sciences. The journal publishes four issues per year, including regular Special Issues on particular themes. The Editors welcome individual articles that focus on diverse topics and regions, reflect varied theoretical approaches and methods, and aim to appeal widely within anthropology and beyond. Proposals for Special Issues are selected by the Editorial Board through an annual competitive call.
