A Plato Primer - J.d.g. Evans - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A Plato Primer - J.d.g. Evans - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

"A Plato Primer" introduces beginning students and the general reader to the main theses, concepts and arguments in Plato''s philosophy. Subtle, versatile and multi-faceted though Plato''s thought undoubtedly is, it has a core that needs to be explored and savoured. Evans presents this core, as it appears over a large range of his works, spread out over many decades of composition and many philosophical topics. Through all this diversity Plato''s original philosophical personality shines through. Evans approaches the material thematically, in terms of modern philosophical categories, in seven main chapters. Within each of these individual treatments Evans follows the lines of argument in the main works of Plato that explore them. Indications about how to pursue given topics in the secondary literature are given in the helpful guide to further reading.

Understanding Plato - David J. Melling - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Understanding Plato - David J. Melling - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

This is the first balanced introduction to Plato''s work to bringing Plato himself alive, as well as discussing the importance of his works. In so doing, it allows a better understanding of who he was, what sort of world he inhabited, why his works were important in his own day, and why, two thousand years after his death, they are still regarded as so significant. By also describing the Greek society in which Plato lived, it succeeds in placing his work firmly in context for modern readers.

Plato Opera Volume I - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Plato Opera Volume I - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Plato is one of the key ancient authors studied by both classicists and philosophers. This volume contains the first eight of Plato''s works in the traditional order which appears in most of the manuscripts. The first four, Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, ahd Phaedo are grouped by their dramatic settings concerned with the death of Socrates. The Apology and Crito display Socrates'' philosophical mission. The Euthyphro discusses piety; the Phaedo proves the immortality of the soul by appeal to Plato''s Theory of Forms. The second group of dialogues represent Plato''s later work and are grouped according to his own indications; The Cratylus discusses language, the Thaetetus knowledge, the Sophist being and negation, and the Politicus statesmanship.This new edition offers much additional information on the preservation of Plato''s text. All primary manuscripts have been checked and in most casesx freshly cololated. Papyrus fragments recently made available that were unknown to previous editors have been in several cases re-examined and their evidence reported, whilst no less important has been the search for previously unreported quotations of Plato in later Greek writers, facilitated by new editions of Neoplatonic writers. All textual problems have been thought through afresh.

Plato and Hegel (RLE: Plato) - Gary Browning - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Hegel and Plato are united as political theorists by the convergence of their philosophical aspirations. But their political writings manifest the general disparities involved in their particular ways of seeking to fulfil these aspirations. Professor Browning compares the political thought of Plato and Hegel by locating their political theorizing within the context of their divergent modes of philosophizing.

Who Speaks for Plato? - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Who Speaks for Plato? - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

In this international and interdisciplinary collection of critical essays, distinguished contributors examine a crucial premise of traditional readings of Plato''s dialogues: that Plato''s own doctrines and arguments can be read off the statements made in the dialogues by Socrates and other leading characters. The authors argue in general and with reference to specific dialogues, that no character should be taken to be Plato''s mouthpiece. This is essential reading for students and scholars of Plato.

Plato on Parts and Wholes - Verity Harte - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Plato on Parts and Wholes - Verity Harte - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

What is the relation between a whole and its parts? Is a whole identical to its parts, or is there some other relation of composition? These questions are much discussed in modern philosophy; but Plato''s rich discussion of composition has been neglected. Verity Harte provides the first sustained examination of this Platonic discussion and explains its relations to modern debates. She reveals how, in several late works, Plato criticizes the view that a whole is identical to its parts. She then goes on to discuss the intriguing alternative conception of wholes he offers in its place. This book is an invaluable resource both for scholars of Plato and for modern metaphysicians. For scholars of Plato, Harte''s careful textual analysis provides fresh insights into some of his most difficult works. For modern metaphysicians, she illuminates the contemporary debate by placing it within an historical context.

Plato - Andrew Mason - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Plato - Andrew Mason - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Plato (c.428-347 BCE) stands at the beginning of many debates that have continued throughout the history of philosophy. His literary career spanned fifty years and the influence of his ideas and those of his followers pervaded philosophy throughout antiquity. Andrew Mason''s lucid and engaging introduction, draws on recent scholarship to offer a fresh general survey of Plato''s philosophy. Aware of the methodological challenges that confront any writer on Plato, Mason handles the issue of Plato''s intellectual development and relationship with Socrates with an assured grasp. Thematically structured, the book begins with Plato''s principal contribution to metaphysics, the ''Theory of Forms'', which forms a necessary background to his thought in many areas. His theory of knowledge, which is intimately linked with the Forms is explored in detail along with Plato''s views of the soul, an important theme in itself and an entry point to discussion of his ethics, one of Plato''s major concerns. Finally, the book deals with two areas of Plato''s thought which have had an especially important historical impact, not confined to academic philosophy: his theory of God and nature, and his aesthetics. Throughout, Mason highlights the continuing themes in Plato''s work and how they develop from one dialogue to another.

Form and Argument in Late Plato - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Form and Argument in Late Plato - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Why did Plato put his philosophical arguments into dialogues, rather than presenting them in a plain and readily understandable fashion? In writing rich tales of philosophical encounters, does Plato desert clarity in favour of seducing his readers with fine words, or is there a philosophical reason behind the form of his argument? While recent work has focused on the literary brilliance of the early dialogues, the late dialogues present a particular problem: they lack the vivid literary character of Plato''s earlier works, and the dialogue structure seems to be a mere formality. Is there a philosophical reason why Plato''s late works are in the form of dialogues? In this volume, a group of internationally prominent scholars address that question. Their answers are fresh, varied, and powerfully argued. This volume offers both a series of first-class essays on major late Platonic dialogues and a discussion which has important implications for the study of philosophical method and the relation between philosophy and literature. It shows that the literary form and modes of dialectic of the late dialogues are richly rewarding to study, and that doing so is of deep importance for Plato''s philosophical project.

Plato Today (RLE: Plato) - R Crossman - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Plato Today (RLE: Plato) - R Crossman - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Plato was born around 2,500 years ago. He lived in a small city-state in Greece and busied himself with the problems of his fellow Greeks, a people living in scattered cities around the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. In all he tried to do for the Greeks he failed. Why, then, should people in the modern world bother to read what he had to say? Does it make sense to go to a Greek thinker for advice on the problems of an age so different from his own? To anyone who has questioned the relevance of Plato to the modern world Richard Crossman’s lively book provides a brilliant reply. The problems facing Plato’s world bear striking parallels to ours today, the author maintains, so who better to turn to than Plato, the most objective and most ruthless observer of the failures of Greek society. Crossman’s engaging text provides both an informed introduction to Greek ideas and an original and controversial view of Plato himself.
