"Mankind's constant struggle with physical as well as mental weaknesses is omnipresent
in ancient literature: misconduct, wrongdoing, failure and experiences of contingency
are anthropological phenomena. Ancient ethics, epistemology, and natural philosophy
have developed different theoretical approaches and guidelines on how to act and how
to overcome all kinds of problems. Christian theology, on the other hand, has explained
moral failure as a symptom of original sin, comparing decline and destruction to a
burden from which mankind is relieved only at the end. The contributions explore how
ancient philosophical texts, both pagan and Christian, explain, conceptualize and
integrate the myriad manifestations of human fallibility into the different philosophical
schools. The focus is on anthropological, ontological and theological concepts that
analyse and reflect human fallibility, as well as on the textual and linguistic representation
of the phenomenon in ancient literature. Several contributions in the volume explore
literary texts that discuss or illustrate the philosophical dimension of fallibility,
such as satire's or tragedy's (often exaggerated) depiction of human weakness"
