Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hippias Major (or What is Beauty? or Greater Hippias, to distinguish it from the Hippias Minor, which has the same chief character) is one of the dialogues of Plato. It belongs to the Early Dialogues, written while the author was still young. Its precise date is uncertain, although a date of c. 390 BCE has been suggested; its authenticity has been doubted. In the Hippias Major, Socrates and Hippias set out to find a definition for "beauty," but are destined to fail due to their inability to formulate an answer which encompasses the entire concept. The actual Greek term that is used in the dialogue often means fine or noble as well as beautiful. For this reason, translators such as Paul Woodruff typically translate the term as "the Fine" (things) instead of "Beauty." As in Charmides, Lysis and Euthyphro, Hippias Major has an "anatreptic" purpose, that is, the result of the dialogue is to defeat commonly held opinions, without necessarily offering a resolution. The concept of something good in and of itself (if only obliquely) makes its first appearance in this work. The dialogue can be read as much as a serious philosophical work as a light satirical comedy with two actors. The astuteness of Socrates in taking refuge under the authority of a supposed third protagonist in order to direct biting criticism at Hippias, endows the dialogue with humour.

Book excerpt: «L’âme humaine [...] est comparable à ces créatures fabuleuses – la Chimère, Scylla ou Cerbère – qui unissent en un seul corps les formes de plusieurs espèces d’êtres vivants.» Platon (env. 428-347 av. J.-C.) fait aujourd’hui figure de mythe. Fondateur de nombreux concepts dont nous sommes les héritiers, il apparaît comme le père de la philosophie moderne. Mais quel homme fut-il? Remarquable par son physique athlétique et son esprit brillant, cet enfant de l’aristocratie athénienne se destinait à la politique ou aux arts. Sa rencontre avec Socrate bouleverse le cours de son existence. Rejetant dès lors la futilité de ses premiers penchants et condamnant les excès de la vie politique, il se voue corps et âme à la quête de la vérité. De son œuvre, il nous reste vingt-huit écrits, qui ont traversé vingt-cinq siècles. De son vécu, bien peu de chose. L’entreprise de Bernard Fauconnier soulève la question des sources : faute de pouvoir apporter une réponse ferme et limpide, l’auteur tente de retracer la ligne d’une vie qui, à bien des égards, fut exemplaire.

Download or read book Plato’s Greater Hippias written by – Plato and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hippias of Elis travels throughout the Greek world practicing and teaching the art of making beautiful speeches. On a rare visit to Athens, he meets Socrates who questions him about the nature of his art. Socrates is especially curious about how Hippias would define beauty. They agree that "beauty makes all beautiful things beautiful," but when Socrates presses him to say precisely what he means, Hippias is unable to deliver such a definition. The more Socrates probes, the more absurd the responses from Hippias become. This is one of Plato’s best comedies and one of his finest efforts at posing the philosophical problem of the difference between particular things and universal qualities. Plato lived in Athens, Greece. He wrote approximately two-dozen dialogues that explore core topics that are essential to all human beings. Although the historical Socrates was a strong influence on Plato, the character by that name that appears in many of his dialogues is a product of Plato’s fertile imagination. All of Plato’s dialogues are written in a poetic form that his student Aristotle called "Socratic dialogue." In the twentieth century, the British philosopher and logician Alfred North Whitehead characterized the entire European philosophical tradition as "a series of footnotes to Plato." Philosophy for Plato was not a set of doctrines but a goal — not the possession of wisdom but the love of wisdom. Agora Publications offers these performances based on the assumption that Plato wrote these works to be performed by actors in order to stimulate additional dialogue among those who listen to them.

Book Synopsis Hippias Minor Or the Art of Cunning by : Plato
Download or read book Hippias Minor Or the Art of Cunning written by Plato and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Plato's most controversial dialogues, Hippias Minor details Socrates's confounding arguments that there is no difference between a person who tells the truth and one who lies, and that the good man is the one who willingly makes mistakes and does wrong and unjust things. But what if Socrates wasn't championing the act of lying-as it has been traditionally interpreted-but, rather, advocating for a novel way of understanding the power of the creative act? In this exceptional translation by Sarah Ruden, Hippias Minor is rendered anew as a provocative dialogue about how art is a form of wrongdoing, and that understanding it makes life more ethical by paradoxically teaching one to be more cunning. An introduction by artist Paul Chan situates Hippias Minor in a wider philosophical and historical context, and an essay by classicist Richard Fletcher grapples with the radical implications of this new translation in light of Chan's work and contemporary art today.

Download or read book Hippias Minor written by Plató and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hippias Minor, or On Lying, is thought to be one of Plato's early works. Socrates matches wits with an arrogant polymath who is also a smug literary critic. Hippias believes that Homer can be taken at face value, and that Achilles may be believed when he says he hates liars, whereas Odysseus' resourceful behavior stems from his ability to lie well (365b). Socrates argues that Achilles is a cunning liar who throws people off the scent of his own deceptions, and that cunning liars are actually the "best" liars. Consequently, Odysseus was equally false and true and so was Achilles (369b). Socrates proposes, possibly for the sheer dialectical fun of it, that it is better to do evil voluntarily than involuntarily. His case rests largely on the analogy with athletic skills, such as running and wrestling. He says that a runner or wrestler who deliberately sandbags is better than the one who plods along because he can do no better.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Textual Tradition of Plato's Timaeus and Critias, Gijsbert Jonkers provides new insights into the extant ancient and medieval evidence for the text of both Platonic dialogues. The discussions are set in the broader context of examinations in recent decades of the textual traditions of other individual Platonic works. Particularly the vast collection of testimonia of the Timaeus, one of Plato's most read, interpreted and discussed dialogues of all times, will be of interest for students of ancient philosophy, science and philology.
