This paper aims at elucidating the historical settings of the great uprising of the native Egyptians against the Ptolemies, lasting from 206 BC to 186 BC, in the wider Mediterranean context. This internal affair has traditionally been interpreted as a symptom of general decline of the Ptolemaic rule, though close observations of the course of the revolts strongly suggest that both foreign and domestic policies of the Ptolemaic court as well as that of the influential political body of Egyptian priests toward the rebels had recognizable relations to the political situations outside Egypt, the advance of the Romans into the East Mediterranean in particular. The mutual agreement between Ptolemy V and the Egyptian priests (Memphis decree) was announced just after the battle of Cynoscephalae and the Ptolemies mounted s senous counteroffensive against the rebels only after the treaty of Apamea, which removed the direct threat from the Seleucids. The fact that diplomatic activities of Komanos preceded his final suppression of the rebellion in 186 also corroborates the view that the foreign and domestic affairs of this period were closely interrelated under the Ptolemaic rule.

In the Paññāsa-Jātaka transmitted in central Thailand, there are as many as eight stories of self-sacrifice (ajjhattika-dāna), where a bodhisatta declares that he carries out his self-sacrifice not to get the achievement of a sāvaka or paccekabuddha but to attain omniscience. It is said that this declaration seems to be influenced by Mahāyānistic ideal of Bodhisattva. Based on our recent studies on Pāli palm leaf manuscripts of the Paññāsa-Jātaka, this paper investigates this type of declarations. Further, similar declarations in parallel stories in jātaka collections in Sri Lanka and Myammar, as well as declarations in related accounts in the Pāli Nikāyas and their commentaries are examined.

Virgil is the most important classical author for the creation of Dante's Divine Comedy. The present paper discusses how this ancient poet is treated in the poem and why the Comedy can be regarded as an epic rather than a "commedia", which was the original title of the work and probably means a story with a happy ending. Although Virgil is paid the deepest respect as Dante's master and guide in the Comedy, his limitations are repeatedly shown mainly in theological matters. In particular he lacks in deep understanding of human sin and Christian salvation, so that he is to disappear before Beatrice who can fully purify Dante's soul and lead him through the paradise. In respect of natural virtues and human intellectual power, however, he is so excellent that his guidance through the underworld, successfully finished, represents a fortunate union of the classical humanism and the medieval Christianity. But there is another aspect of Virgil: the great spirit who stands for Limbo. In Dante's hell this special place contains, besides the traditional residents of pious Jews before Christ and unbaptized children, the various pagan poets and philosophers who, despite their outstanding human achievements and their being innocent except for original sin, will not be given divine grace for ever. Why cannot those best pagans be saved? The question is put in Paradiso but remains mysteriously unanswered. Thus Dante casts a doubt on the Christian doctrine, while depicting the supreme bliss of his alter ego elevated to the vision of God. It is because of this unprejudiced view of human conditions that the Comedy should be ranked along with classical epic poetry and still has great spiritual value for us today.

Strawson argues that there is another way with scepticism which is not an attempt directly to refute it by rational argument drawing on commonsense or theological or quasi-scientific considerations. Vis-à-vis traditional scepticism he proposes the naturalist position. He considers a response which dose not so much attempt to meet the challenge as to pass it by. In characterizing the position he yokes Wittgenstein to Hume. In his naturalism Strawson dose not examine the reason for the certainty with 'unshakeable thing', but argues only the causes of them. According to Wittgenstein, certainty belongs to 'unshakeable thing' that underlies all our ordinary language-games. In the entire system of our language-games 'unshakeable thing' belongs to the foundation of it and the whole language-games rests on this kind of certainty. Ordinary language-games such as about knowledge, doubt, belief, etc. make sense only when our language-game has 'unshakeable thing' as foundation. The status of 'unshakeable things' can be conceived as propositions of grammar; in the system of our empirical propositions they have a peculiar logical role, that is, they have the character of a rule. Strawson fails to grasp the point of view about the system of our language-games.
