在雅典老城发现的,公元前4世纪的亚里士多德学院遗迹将于7月晚些时候向公众开放。
学院是在其公元前6世纪避难至一个可以进行哲学演讲和辩论的阿波罗学院后而得名的,这里也曾经是公元前5世纪在尼克斯山举行的“永久大会”前雅典人聚集的地方。
但是学院成为被人所熟知的哲学院校,是在亚里士多德于公元前335年返回雅典,即从公元前343年成为当时的马其顿王子亚历山大,即后来的亚历山大大帝的私人教师之后。
从他公元前335年回到雅典直到公元前322年他离世,亚里士多德在其学院租下了一些屋舍,并且以此建立了他进行讲演的学校。亚里士多德在此写下了他一生中大部分的哲学论文和对话,并且系统的将其编纂成书籍,从而构成了欧洲历史上的第一个图书馆。由于亚里士多德喜欢被学生围绕着,在他演讲的地方来回踱步,他所建立的哲学学校被称为逍遥学派 (该词源自“peripatos”,在希腊语中的意思是来回踱步或王室成员或名人在民众中露面散步)。
它位于古代希腊的高墙之外,所以学院被公元前86年的罗马将军Lucius Cornelius Sulla无情地解散并夷为平地,但之后它还是被重建了起来。学院地址在1996年雅典新现代艺术馆的二次挖掘中被发现,而终于能够在数个世纪后重见天日。
The archaeological site of the 4th century BC Lyceum of Aristotle, in downtown Athens, will open to the public in late July.
The Lyceum, named after its 6th century BC sanctuary to Apollo Lyceus (the "wolf-god", from the word "lykos", or wolf), had long been a place of philosophical discussion and debate, and had had been the meeting place of the Athenian assembly before the stablishment of a permanent meeting area on Pnyx hill in the 5th century BC.
But the Lyceum is mostly renowned for the philosophical school founded there by Aristotle upon his return to Athens in 335 BC after being the private tutror of the then young prince Alexander of Macedon, the future Alexander the Great, since 343 BC.
After his return to Athens in 335 BC and up to his death in 322 BC, Aristotle rented some buildings in the Lyceum and established a school there where he lectured, wrote most of his philosophical treatises and dialogues, and systematically collected books that comprised the first library in European history. Since Aristotle liked to walk around the grounds as he lectured, surrounded by his students, the philosophical school he founded was called Peripatetic (from 'peripatos', which means stroll or walkabout in Greek).
Situated just outside the walls of ancient Athens, the Lyceum was brutally sacked and razed to the ground by the Roman general Lucius Cornelius Sulla in 86 BC, but was later rebuilt.
The site's location remained unknown for centuries until it was rediscovered in 1996 during excavations for Athens' new Museum of Modern Art.
