Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Four Socratic Dialogues of Plato The Eutbypbra, which comes first in order, exhibits Socrates to us as a teacher, who seeks by his dialectical an to awake men out of their confidence in their own untested Opinions, and to stimulate them to inquire what they mean by their confident judgements on all ethical subjects. The search for a definition of piety leads to an exposure of the unsoundness of the basis of ethics provided by Polytheism, and it is discovered that thatalone can be regarded as a pious act with which all the gods are pleased. This, again, raises the question, whether an act is pious because the gods are pleased with it, or the gods are pleased with it because it is pious. If the latter, then piety must be defined as a part of justice or righteousness: but justice or righteousness is generally regarded as concerned only with our duties to men. We are therefore involved in a critical discussion of the question, whether the service of God imposes special duties, distinct from those involved in the service of man. The dialogue ends with the apparently negative conclusion that, if we exclude the absurd idea that men can help the gods, piety can only consist in doing what is pleasing to them - the very definition which has al ready been rejected as unsatisfactory. But the attentive reader will recognize that the discussion has brought us to a point of view from which piety is seen to be not a special department of morality, but only the religious aspect of it.

But the attentive reader will recognize that the discussion has brought us to a point of view from which piety is seen to be not a special department of morality, but only the religious aspect of it. In the Apology, which probably contains the substance of the defence actually made by Socrates, he is represented as explaining to his judges the nature of his peculiar mission. He is a gadfly sent to rouse the Athenians from their 'dogmatic slumbers,' and to make them reflect on the meaning and purpose of their lives. They are living in an ignorance which is the deeper that they think they know, and therefore are always ready to pronounce judgement on any ethical question.

Download or read book Selected Dialogues of Plato written by Plato and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2009-10-14 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benjamin Jowett's translations of Plato have long been classics in their own right. In this volume, Professor Hayden Pelliccia has revised Jowett's renderings of five key dialogues, giving us a modern Plato faithful to both Jowett's best features and Plato's own masterly style. Gathered here are many of Plato's liveliest and richest texts. Ion takes up the question of poetry and introduces the Socratic method. Protagoras discusses poetic interpretation and shows why cross-examination is the best way to get at the truth. Phaedrus takes on the nature of rhetoric, psychology, and love, as does the famous Symposium. Finally, Apology gives us Socrates' art of persuasion put to the ultimate test--defending his own life. Pelliccia's new Introduction to this volume clarifies its contents and addresses the challenges of translating Plato freshly and accurately. In its combination of accessibility and depth, Selected Dialogues of Plato is the ideal introduction to one of the key thinkers of all time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dialogues of Plato, Vol. 3 of 4: Translated Into English With Analyses and Introductions; The Trial and Death of Socrates Now that Meno has been made to understand the nature of a general definition, he answers in the spirit of a Greek gentle man, and in the words of a poet, that virtue is to delight in things honorable, and to have the power of getting them. This is a nearer approximation than he has yet made to a complete definition, and, regarded as a piece of proverbial or popular morality is not far from the truth. But the objection is urged that the honorable is the good, and as every' one desires the good, the point of the definition is contained in the last words, the power of getting them. And they must be got justly or with justice. The definition will then stand thus: Virtue is the power of getting good with justice. But justice is a part of virtue, and therefore virtue is the getting of good with a part of virtue. The definition repeats the word defined. Meno complains that the conversation of Socrates has the effect of a torpedo's shock upon him. When he talks with other persons he has plenty to say about virtue; in the presence of Socrates, his thoughts seem to desert him. Socrates replies that he is only the cause of perplexity in others, because he is himself perplexed. He proposes to continue the inquiry. But how, asks Meno, can he inquire either into what he knows or into what he does not know? This is a sophistical puzzle, which, as Soc rates remarks, saves a great deal of trouble to him who accepts it. But the puzzle has a real difficulty latent under it, to which Socrates replies in a figure. The difficulty is the origin of knowl edge.
