Ancient Greek Philosophers and Preaching Discourse Practices of Early Modern Age

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the intertext of ancient Greek philosophers in the discursive practices of early modern preaching of the 17th century. It has been found that preachers usually did not leave references to the works they were referring to, because the works were familiar to them and could easily be recalled from memory. Thus, the use of "other people's words" had the character of quotation, retelling, or allusion. The article defines the range of these philosophers, compares the textual fragments in translations, reveals changes in Ruthenian expression and semantic expansion of these examples for moral guidance in preaching interpretations. It was found out that preachers often focused on Latin translations of Greek authors, which were popular in the intellectual environment of the scribes of the 17th century. The use of exempla from the works of ancient Greek philosophers in sermons on Sundays and holidays, as well as in funeral and military sermons is characterized, the discursive practices of Antonii Radyvylovskyi and Yoanykii Galiatovskyi are compared.
