Abstract
Description
El objetivo del trabajo consiste en analizar la interpretación de la teología de Epicteto propuesta recientemente por Keimpe Algra, la cual sugiere interpretar el lenguaje personalista de ciertos pasajes de las Disertaciones como una herramienta pedagógica bajo la cual se esconde un núcleo ortodoxo. Señalaré algunas dificultades importantes que presenta la interpretación de Algra, dificultades que obligan a concluir que la interpretación tradicional (la cual interpreta el personalismo de dichos pasajes en sentido literal, i.e., como expresión de una concepción teísta y personalista de la divinidad) permanece en pie.
The goal of the present piece is to analyze the interpretation of Epictetus’ Theology recently put forward by Keimpe Algra, which suggests that we interpret the Personalist Language of certain passages of the Dissertations as a Pedagogical Tool beneath which hides an orthodox core. I will point to some important difficulties in Algra’s interpretation which force us to conclude that the traditional interpretation (that interprets the Personalist Language of the said passages in a literal sense, i.e., as the expression of a Theistic and Personalistic Conception of Divinity) still stands.
