Selected Dialogues of Plato - Plato Plato - Bog - Random House USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

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.

The Laws - Plato - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Laws - Plato - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In the Laws, Plato describes in fascinating detail a comprehensive system of legislation in a small agricultural utopia he named Magnesia. His laws not only govern crime and punishment, but also form a code of conduct for all aspects of life in his ideal state - from education, sport and religion to sexual behaviour, marriage and drinking parties. Plato sets out a plan for the day-to-day rule of Magnesia, administered by citizens and elected officials, with supreme power held by a Council. Although Plato''s views that citizens should act in complete obedience to the law have been read as totalitarian, the Laws nonetheless constitutes a highly impressive programme for the reform of society and provides a crucial insight into the mind of one of Classical Greece''s foremost thinkers.

Introducing Plato - Dave Robinson - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

Introducing Plato - Dave Robinson - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

"Introducing Plato" begins by explaining how philosophers like Socrates and Pythagoras influenced Plato''s thought. It provides a clear account of Plato''s puzzling theory of knowledge, and explains how this theory then directed his provocative views on politics, ethics and individual liberty. It offers detailed critical commentaries on all of the key doctrines of Platonism, especially the very odd theory of Forms, and concludes by revealing how Plato''s philosophy stimulated the work of important modern thinkers such as Karl Popper, Martha Nussbaum, and Jacques Derrida.
