Download or read book Ancient Philosophy written by Lorenzo Perilli and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 906 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘We are all Greeks. Our laws, our literature, our religion, our arts, have their root in Greece’, the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley once wrote. It is in Greek that the questions which shaped the destiny of Western culture were asked, and so were the first attempts at an answer, and the search for a method of investigation. This book tries to rediscover the propulsive force that for over two millennia spread, and still lives in our system of thought. By systematically quoting the very words of the leading actors and by tracing their sources, it leads the reader along a path where they will be able to observe the establishment of philosophical ideas and language, in an updated and balanced picture of archaic lore, of the thought of the classical and hellenistic ages, and of the philosophy of late antiquity. The book looks closely at the progress of scientific thought and at its increasing autonomy, while following the evolution of the fruitful yet problematic relationship between the Greek world and the Near East.

Download or read book Plotinus' Cosmology written by James Wilberding and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-03-23 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ennead II.1 (40) Plotinus is primarily concerned to argue for the everlastingness of the universe, the heavens, and the heavenly bodies as individual substances. Here he must grapple both with the philosophical issue of personal identity through time and with the rich tradition of cosmology which pitted the Platonists against the Aristotelians and Stoics. What results is a historically informed cosmological sketch explaining the constitution of the heavens as well as sublunar and celestial motion. This book contains an extensive introduction aimed at providing the necessary background in Platonic, Aristotelian, and Stoic cosmology, the text itself, and a line-by-line commentary designed to elucidate its philosophical, philological and historical details.

Book excerpt: Platon avait 20 ans lorsqu'il fit la rencontre de Socrate : sa vie autant que la philosophie, en furent bouleversees. Fils de bonne famille, fin rheteur et bon gymnase, Platon etait tout destine a la politique qu'il abandonna pour suivre son maitre : la cite avait perdu un dirigeant et gagne un philosophe. La tentation politique est d'ailleurs loin d'etre absente des preoccupations de Platon, comme en temoigne, outre La Republique, ses voyages aupres du tyran de Sicile, Denys de Syracuse. A la mort de Socrate, le philosophe devient ecrivain : a partir de cette epoque Platon se met a ecrire, d'abord pour mettre en scene les paroles de son mentor. Dans ces premiers ecrits, Socrate est tour a tour confronte au sophiste Hippias, auquel il apprend que la plus precieuse des connaissances est de ne rien savoir, au bel Alcibiade a qui est commente le fameux connais-toi toi-meme inscrit sur le fronton du temple de Delphes, au pretre Euthyphron, et surtout, dans l'Apologie de Socrate, a Melitos et Anytos, les accusateurs qui le firent condamner. Ces dialogues de jeunesse evoquent avec vivacite et nostalgie le maitre tant admire et qui vient de disparaitre. Ce volume, qui regroupe, Hippias Mineur, Alcibiade, Euthyphron, l'Apologie de Socrate, Criton et Euthyphron ouvre notre edition des oeuvres Completes de Platon. En guise d'introduction, il contient une riche biographie de Platon, accompagnee d'une d'une histoire de la tradition manuscrite ainsi que d'un classement des dialogues. Chaque texte est precede d'une notice qui lui est propre. Celle-ci presente le contexte philosophique, historique et politique, tandis que les personnages, fictifs ou reels, font l'objet d'une attention particuliere, a commencer par Socrate dont la vie est relatee dans la notice de l'Apologie. Outre ces eclaircissements, de judicieuses pistes de reflexion sont proposees, tant litteraires que philosophiques. L'ouvrage est enfin enrichi de notes qui accompagnent la lecture. Texte etabli et traduit par Maurice Croiset.

Download or read book Plato: Laws 1 and 2 written by and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susan Sauvé Meyer presents a new translation of Plato's Laws, 1 and 2. In these opening books of Plato's last work, a Cretan, a Spartan, and an Athenian discuss legislative theory, moral psychology, and the criteria for evaluating art. The interlocutors compare the relative merits of different nomoi (laws, practices, institutions), in particular, the communal meals (sussitia) practiced in Sparta and Crete and the paradigmatically Athenian institution of the drinking party (sumposion). They agree that the legislator's goal is to inculcate virtue in the citizens, but they disagree about what the virtues are, and what institutions are required to inculcate them. The Spartan and Cretan, who value military strength in a city and courage in its citizens, see no value in drinking parties, which they take to encourage softness and susceptibility to pleasure. The Athenian insists that drinking parties train citizens in moderation, just as military exercises train citizens in courage. He defends this paradoxical thesis by offering a moral psychology and theory of virtue (rather different from that of the Republic but highly evocative of Aristotle's Ethics), along with a theory of education in which choral song and dance play an important role. A detailed discussion of the criteria for evaluating works of art rounds out the discussion, and here too the reader will find a discussion very different from the treatment of art in the Republic. Meyer's fluent and readable translation achieves a high standard of fidelity to the original Greek. The commentary lays bare the structure of the argumentation, illuminates the philosophical issues, and explains difficult passages, making this complex and intricate work accessible to students and scholars alike.

Book excerpt: Until now no English translation existed of the Statesman (one of Plato's central works on politics, and on much else besides) which was both accurate and usable: nor was there a modern commentary which would help the reader through the argument, which was, in some parts, likely to be inaccessible without a guide.

Download or read book Reading Ancient Texts. Volume I: Presocratics and Plato written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-01-31 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the history of philosophy? Is it history or is it philosophy or is it by some strange alchemy a confluence of the two? The contributors to the present volume of essays have tackled this seemingly simple, but in reality difficult and controversial, question, by drawing on their specialised knowledge of the surviving texts of leading ancient philosophers, from the Presocratics to Augustine, through Plato, Aristotle and Plotinus. These contributions, which reflect the range of methods and approaches currently used in the study of ancient texts, are offered as a tribute to the scholarship of Denis O’Brien, one of the most original and penetrating students of the thousand-year period of intense philosophical activity that constitutes ancient philosophy. Contributors include: T. Ebert, F. Fronterrota, C.J. Gill, C. Huffman, N. Notomi, J.-C. Picot, J.-F. Pradeau, M. Rashed, K. Sayre, R.K. Sprague, and J.G.C. Strachan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Platonic Patterns is a reprint collection of many of Holger Thesleff's studies in Plato-spanning from 1967 to 2003. It includes three books, four articles and a new introduction by the author, which sets the general outline of his interpretation of Plato. Whereas much of the scholarship on Plato has tended to operate within the frame of one language and/or a single school of thought, Thesleff constructively combines several discoveries and theories (philosophical, philological and historical) of various scholars with his own research, focusing on how Plato can be understood in his own context.The work represents small but significant breakthroughs in research on Plato from an internationally inclusive standpoint. Having previously been published mainly in Finland by scholarly societies, availability outside the Nordic countries has, up until now, been minimal.Thesleff employs his singular expertise of Greek language and literature to make innovative contributions to the study and interpretation of Plato. He thematically stresses the significance of the less overt elements found in Plato's dialogues, such as Plato's use of humor and his linguistic expression, while taking into account the chronology and/or the intended audience.

Download or read book Cross-Examining Socrates written by John Beversluis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-06 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a rereading of Plato's early dialogues from the point of view of the characters with whom Socrates engages in debate. Socrates' interlocutors are generally acknowledged to play important dialectical and dramatic roles, but no previous book has focused mainly on them. Existing studies are thoroughly dismissive of the interlocutors and reduce them to the status of mere mouthpieces for views which are hopelessly confused or demonstrably false. This book takes interlocutors seriously and treats them as genuine intellectual opponents whose views are often more defensible than commentators have standardly thought. The author's purpose is not to summarise their positions or the arguments of the dialogues in which they appear, much less to produce a series of biographical sketches, but to investigate the phenomenology of philosophical disputation as it manifests itself in the early dialogues.

Download or read book Plato's Lysis written by Terry Penner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-20 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lysis is one of Plato's most engaging but also puzzling dialogues; it has often been regarded, in the modern period, as a philosophical failure. The full philosophical and literary exploration of the dialogue illustrates how it in fact provides a systematic and coherent, if incomplete, account of a special theory about, and special explanation of, human desire and action. Furthermore, it shows how that theory and explanation are fundamental to a whole range of other Platonic dialogues and indeed to the understanding of the corpus as a whole. Part One offers an analysis of, or running commentary on, the dialogue. In Part Two Professors Penner and Rowe examine the philosophical and methodological implications of the argument uncovered by the analysis. The whole is rounded off by an epilogue of the relation between the Lysis and some other Platonic (and Aristotelian) texts.
