Ziel

The project Bridging East and West: Wisdom Literature in Cuneiform and Greek Traditions (BRISDOM) explores similarities and differences in wisdom and its usages in Mesopotamian and Greek traditions. BRISDOM represents the first ever attempt to provide a comprehensive study of wisdom in Mesopotamia and Greece.
Wisdom reflects on some of the most fundamental questions of mankind, such as the meaning of life, mortality, and relations with the divine. Wisdom literature had an enormous circulation in both Mesopotamia and Greece and includes very different text types such as sayings, proverbs, fables, books of instructions, diatribes and dialogues.
The project has three main objectives: (A) the definition of the corpus of wisdom literature in Mesopotamian and Greek traditions; (B) the definition of the conceptualization of wisdom in Mesopotamian and Greek traditions; (C) the comprehension of similarities and differences of wisdom literary motifs in Mesopotamian and Greek traditions.
In order to achieve these objectives BRISDOM will developed a different methodology from previous studies on literary and cultural relations between the East and the West. Rather than focusing on historical connections, BRISDOM will compare the socio-cultural context of wisdom in Mesopotamia and Greece.
