Download or read book Six Essays on the Platonic Theory of Knowledge written by Marie V. Williams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Essays on the Platonic Theory of Knowledge: As Expounded in the Later Dialogues and Reviewed by Aristotle The following essays, written during my tenure of a studentship at Newnham College, Cambridge, were the outcome of a genuine interest in the Platonic controversy, and of a desire to satisfy myself, by independent study, regarding the doctrines that the later dialogues seem to teach. In a subject that has for so long been the source of disagreements one can scarcely hope to produce a work that will commend itself to every critic, or to bridge in any degree the chasm that already yawns between the two leading schools of interpretation; and I must own frankly, at once, that I belong to the school that sees in the later work of Plato a fuller development and elaboration of the ideal scheme which was at first but vaguely sketched. It is not the spirit of controversy, however, but the hope for a better understanding of this position on the part of other controversialists, that has led me to publish these papers. In preparing them I have not neglected to make myself acquainted with the position taken by other schools; but that I am chiefly indebted to the Platonic scholars of Cambridge cannot be denied.

Book Synopsis Platonic Studies by : Gregory Vlastos
Download or read book Platonic Studies written by Gregory Vlastos and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of Gregory Vlastos' studies on a variety of themes in Plato's metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and social philosophy. Although many of the essays have appeared in various philosophical and classical journals or symposia, new in the volume are two major studies. One is on Plato's theory of love, exploring its metaphysical dimension and its far-reaching implications for personal and political relations. The other centers on semantic and logical problems in the Sophist; it offers solutions to crucial difficulties in this fundamental Platonic work. In these essays the author presents ideas which are likely to provoke comment and may be discussed as vigorously in scholarly journals as has some of his earlier work. The other papers, some of them extensively revised, comprise virtually all the author's published work on Plato, with the exception of a few papers easily accessible elsewhere. This second edition includes three additional essays and extensive notes that were not included in the original edition.
Book Synopsis The Origins of Liberty: An Essay in Platonic Ontology by : Alexander Zistakis
Download or read book The Origins of Liberty: An Essay in Platonic Ontology written by Alexander Zistakis and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike the vast majority of existing literature on Plato, this book seeks to argue that liberty constitutes the central notion and preoccupation of Platonic thought and that his theory of ideas is indeed a theory of liberty. Moreover, this book contends that Plato’s thought can be understood to be both one of liberty and a theory of liberation. Bound up in its efforts to reveal both the ideal liberty and the conditions and possibility of its existence in the so-called ‘real world,’ the thought of liberty tends to be all-encompassing. Consequently, this book seeks to expose how liberty can be understood to influence Plato’s ontological form of analysis in relation to politics, philosophy, and anthropology, as well as its influence on the structural unity of all three. Understood from such a perspective, this book frames Platonic philosophy as primarily an investigation, an articulation and as a way of establishing the relationship between the individual and the collective. Importantly, this relationship is acknowledged to be the natural and original framework for any conception and exercise of human liberty, especially within democratic theory and politics. By treating Plato’s philosophy as a continuous effort to find modes and dimensions of liberation in and through different forms of this relationship, this book hopes to not only engage in the discussion about the meaning of Platonic ontological-political insights on different grounds, but also to provide a different perspective for the evaluation of its relevance to the main contemporary issues and problems regarding liberty, liberation, democracy and politics. This book will be of interest to both undergraduate students, experienced scholars and researchers, as well as to the general public who have an interest in philosophy, classics, and political theory.

Book Synopsis The Authorship of the Platonic Epistles (Classic Reprint) by : R. Hackforth

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Authorship of the Platonic Epistles No apology is needed for one more attempt to solve the problem of the authorship of the Platonic Epistles. Any addition to our scanty knowledge of Plato's life and his relations with his contemporaries is valuable in a high degree. The present condition of the problem is stated in my general introduction. The plan of this essay is to treat each Epistle, as far as possible, separately - a necessity of criticism which cannot be said to have been wholly observed by previous writers. A considerable amount of my argument necessarily consists in the upholding or refuting of the arguments of others, but I have endeavoured not to carry this to excess. Subjective expressions of opinion, and vague generalities I have steadfastly avoided; my arguments are based on cumulative evidence, the force of which, I may be pardoned for saying, can only be appreciated by careful consideration, on the part of readers, of what may at first appear trivial points.

This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory of Education in the Republic of Plato Some apology may seem to be due for printing an essay upon a subject so Well worn as the Platonic conception of education, the more so as I have no new discoveries to detail and no new theories to advance. But it seems true that Greek thought is in a sense ever young; that while its lessons are always being learned, they are always being forgotten and misunderstood; and that, though much has been done for its interpretation, and the study of it has established itself in the curriculum of our schools and universities, we are still in many respects only at the threshold, and often see it through a veil of conventional platitudes, pretentious antiquarianism, or sentimental finery. All that I have here attempted is to draw renewed attention to some of the salient and familiar points in a subject which concerns us all, and to suggest re ection upon our own corresponding theory and practice.

Book Synopsis Studies in Platonic Political Philosophy by : Leo Strauss
Download or read book Studies in Platonic Political Philosophy written by Leo Strauss and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the outstanding thinkers of our time offers in this book his final words to posterity. Studies in Platonic Political Philosophy was well underway at the time of Leo Strauss's death in 1973. Having chosen the title for the book, he selected the most important writings of his later years and arranged them to clarify the issues in political philosophy that occupied his attention throughout his life. As his choice of title indicates, the heart of Strauss's work is Platonism—a Platonism that is altogether unorthodox and highly controversial. These essays consider, among others, Heidegger, Husserl, Nietzsche, Marx, Moses Maimonides, Machiavelli, and of course Plato himself to test the Platonic understanding of the conflict between philosophy and political society. Strauss argues that an awesome spritual impoverishment has engulfed modernity because of our dimming awareness of that conflict. Thomas Pangle's Introduction places the work within the context of the entire Straussian corpus and focuses especially on Strauss's late Socratic writings as a key to his mature thought. For those already familiar with Strauss, Pangle's essay will provoke thought and debate; for beginning readers of Strauss, it provides a fine introduction. A complete bibliography of Strauss's writings if included.
Book Synopsis Reason and Necessity by : M. R. Wright
Download or read book Reason and Necessity written by M. R. Wright and published by Classical Press of Wales. This book was released on 2000-12-31 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plato's Timaeus contains a powerful and influential myth, of the construction of the universe by a divine craftsman. A god imposes reason on necessity, to bring order from a primeval 'receptacle' of disordered matter. There results the 'child' that is the cosmos - a copy of an eternally-existing perfect model. Here eight new essays from a distinguished international cast, explore aspects of this challenging work: the principles of the mythical narrative, how the world soul and human body are formed, implications for illness - mental and physical, the importance of music and harmonious proportion. Later developments are also treated: Aristotle's theory of generation, the commentary of Proclus and elements of modern evolutionary theory.
