Weeping Heraclitus and Laughing Democritus

（ 讲座语言为英文 ）

    Glenn Warren Most，比萨高等师范学校希腊语文学教授，芝加哥大学社会思想委员会客座教授。研究方向包括古典学、比较文学、文化研究、宗教史，以及文学理论和艺术史等。在古希腊经典的翻译方面亦贡献卓著，曾翻译《洛布古典丛书》（The Loeb Classical Library）中赫西俄德的《工作与时日·神谱》。

The opposition between weeping Heraclitus and laughing Democritus is found fairly often in ancient Greek and Latin literature and it goes on after the Middle Ages to become a commonplace of art and literature in the European Renaissance. I begin with a brief examination of the basic tendencies of Renaissance paintings of this theme and then I go on to consider its history in ancient times. It is not difficult to understand how Democritus could have become a paradigm of laughter, but trying to explain how Heraclitus could have become a paradigm of weeping is not easy; and I consider as well the further question of how the opposition between a weeping philosopher and a laughing one was invented in the first place.
