Book Synopsis Echo and Narcissus by : Gregori Navarro Erenas
Download or read book Echo and Narcissus written by Gregori Navarro Erenas and published by Gregori Navarro. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book you are holding in your hands is a theatricalisation of one of the best-known myths of Ancient Greek culture. Taken from the work "The Metamorphoses" by the Roman author Ovid, this myth is a tale of passion, unrequited love, rejection, pride and revenge and it is believed that this story was aimed at the Greek adolescents of the time with a moralizing objective. Even today, despite the time that has passed since Ovid wrote this story, lessons can still be learned from it. This myth is also a good example of how the Greeks used mythological stories to explain nature and its phenomena. In this case, the myth offers the explanation of the origin of the acoustic phenomenon called echo and the origin of a plant with a beautiful flower that bends elegantly to the ground, the narcissus. This adaptation of the myth becomes at the same time an educational resource to work on in class in a multidisciplinary way.
Book Synopsis The Ironic Defense of Socrates by : David M. Leibowitz
Download or read book The Ironic Defense of Socrates written by David M. Leibowitz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a controversial interpretation of Plato's Apology of Socrates. By paying unusually close attention to what Socrates indicates about the meaning and extent of his irony, David Leibowitz arrives at unconventional conclusions about Socrates' teaching on virtue, politics, and the gods; the significance of his famous turn from natural philosophy to political philosophy; and the purpose of his insolent 'defense speech'. Leibowitz shows that Socrates is not just a colorful and quirky figure from the distant past but an unrivaled guide to the good life - the thoughtful life - who is as relevant today as in ancient Athens. On the basis of his unconventional understanding of the dialogue as a whole, and of the Delphic oracle story in particular, Leibowitz shows that the Apology is the key to the Platonic corpus, indicating how many of the disparate themes and apparently contradictory conclusions of the other dialogues fit together.

Book Synopsis Readings of Plato's Apology of Socrates by : Vivil Valvik Haraldsen
Download or read book Readings of Plato's Apology of Socrates written by Vivil Valvik Haraldsen and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Plato’s Apology of Socrates we see a philosopher in collision with his society—a society he nonetheless claims to have benefited through his philosophic activity. It has often been asked why democratic Athens condemned a philosopher of Socrates' character to death. This anthology examines the contribution made by Plato’s Apology of Socrates to our understanding of the character of Socrates as well as of the conception of philosophy Plato attributes to him. The 11 chapters offer complementary readings of the Apology, which through their different approaches demonstrate the richness of this Platonic work as well as the various layers that can be discerned in its presentation of Socrates. While the contributions display variety in both topics and angles, they also share common features: An awareness of the importance of the literary aspects of Plato’s courtroom drama, as well as a readiness to take into consideration the historical context of the work. Thereby they provide contributions to a manifold understanding of the aims and impact of the work, without losing sight of the philosophical questions that are raised by Socrates’ confrontational and unrepentant defense speech. Allowing the character of Socrates to take center stage, the chapters of this volume examine the philosopher in relation to ethics, and to politics and democracy, as well as to the ideology, religion, and virtue shared by the Athenians. Readers will also find reflections on classical Platonic subjects such as the nature of Socratic philosophical inquiry and of philosophy itself, as well as on the notoriously ambiguous relationships between philosophy, sophistry and rhetoric, and their several relationships to truth and justice. The anthology emphasizes and explores the equivocal and sometimes problematic aspects of Socrates as Plato presents him in the Apology, illuminating why the Athenians let the verdict fall as they did, while drawing out problematic features of Athenian society and its reaction to Socrates’ philosophic activity, thereby encouraging reflection on the role philosophy can play in our modern societies.

Book Synopsis Reexamining Socrates in the Apology by : John Russon
Download or read book Reexamining Socrates in the Apology written by John Russon and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-21 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An oracle was reported to have said, "No one is wiser than Socrates." And in fact it was Socrates’ life’s work to interpret these words, which demanded and defined the practice of philosophy. Each of these original essays attends carefully to the specifics of the Apology, looking to its dramatic details, its philosophic teaching, and its complexity as a work of writing to bring into focus the "Socrates" of the Apology. Overall, the contributors, distinguished scholars of ancient philosophy, share a belief in the unity of the letter and the spirit of Platonic philosophy: the conviction that the Platonic text cannot be reached except through reading and cannot be read except through thinking. In this way, the readings in this volume mirror Socrates’ own hermeneutical practice of uniting the demands of the mind and the demands of the text—the Socratic "examination." The result, true to the Socratic injunction that the unexamined life is not worth living, continues that practice of examination, here offering a reexamination of Socrates in the Apology.

One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

Book Synopsis Socrates in the Apology by : C. D. C. Reeve
Download or read book Socrates in the Apology written by C. D. C. Reeve and published by Hackett Publishing Company Incorporated. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Reeve's book is an excellent companion to Plato's Apology and a valuable discussion of many of the main issues that arise in the early dialogues. Reeve is an extremely careful reader of texts, and his familiarity with the legal and cultural background of Socrates' trial allows him to correct many common misunderstandings of that event. In addition, he integrates his reading of the apology with a sophisticated discussion of Socrates' philosophy. The writing is clear and succinct, and the research is informed by a thorough acquaintance with the secondary literature. Reeve's book will be accessible to any serious undergraduate, but it is also a work that will have to be taken into account by every scholar doing advanced research on Socrates." -- Richard Kraut, Northwestern University
