2006-08-21T10:52:07Z
Abstract
Gigante was a philologist and a historian of ancient Philosophy at the same time: we owe him the approach, tools and method from which nowadays still the Italian scholars of ancient philosophy can take profit. Gigante adopted, ante litteram, a scientific style provided of absolute rigour and effectiveness and of disconcerting actuality: a solid, careful and intelligent philological basis; an unrelenting curiosity and hermeneutic ductility, consciousness of a basically historical perspective, concern in teamwork and the development of young researchers. The interests of Marcello Gigante in the field of ancient philosophy are very broad, and can be approximately summarized in four directions: the figure of Diogenes Laërtius, the activity connected with the edition of the papyri from Herculaneum and the interest for the Epicureanism and the intertwined philosophical schools, and finally the planning and the editorship of the collection bearing the title Plato’s school.
