View through CrossRef
The chapter discusses three publications from 1925 that Ksenija
Atanasijević dedicated to Empedocles’ life and work. It focuses on two interpretative
problems addressed by scholars of the late 19th and the early 20th century: the
status of the two motive forces, Love and Strife, and the relationship between Empedocles’
physics and his ethics and theology. By examining Atanasijević’s take on
these two interpretative questions, this article points to her original philosophical
insights and highlights their validity for contemporary scholarship on Empedocles.
