Studies on the Reception of Plato and Greek Political Thought in Victorian Britain

Studies on the Reception of Plato and Greek Political Thought in Victorian Britain

This collection of essays focuses on the reception of Plato and Greek political thought in the work of some major (pre)Victorian classical scholars and expands on a remarkable range of hotly debated issues on the interpretation of Greek antiquity. The central figure in this volume is the radical philosopher utilitarian and Platonist George Grote whose works on the history of Greece and Plato moved away from traditional models of classical interpretation. His works and their background are critically explored in light of his philosophical commitment and political radicalism. Article IV brings to light a forgotten manuscript by Grote On the Character of Socrates produced in the 1820s. Grote sought to counter the current literature on ancient Greece and its predominant motifs which is here examined in its own right along with an independent study on Bishop Connop Thirlwall's influential History of Greece. The second half of this volume is devoted to analyzing important aspects of the revival of Platonic studies in the ideological and discursive context of early and middle Victorian times. This collection of essays presents comprehensive and illuminating contextual analyses of nineteenth-century works on classical reception providing simultaneously a rich bibliographic guide to further research. | Studies on the Reception of Plato and Greek Political Thought in Victorian Britain

Boundaries of Utopia - Imagining Communism from Plato to Stalin

Boundaries of Utopia - Imagining Communism from Plato to Stalin

The idea that socialism could be established in a single country was adopted as an official doctrine by the Soviet Union in 1925 Stalin and Bukharin being the main formulators of the policy. Before this there had been much debate as to whether the only way to secure socialism would be as a result of socialist revolution on a much broader scale across all Europe or wider still. This book traces the development of ideas about communist utopia from Plato onwards paying particular attention to debates about universalist ideology versus the possibility for socialism in one country. The book argues that although the prevailing view is that socialism in one country was a sharp break from a long tradition that tended to view socialism as only possible if universal in fact the territorially confined socialist project had long roots including in the writings of Marx and Engels. | Boundaries of Utopia - Imagining Communism from Plato to Stalin

Plato and the Creation of the Hebrew Bible

Plato and the Creation of the Hebrew Bible

Plato and the Creation of the Hebrew Bible for the first time compares the ancient law collections of the Ancient Near East the Greeks and the Pentateuch to determine the legal antecedents for the biblical laws. Following on from his 2006 work Berossus and Genesis Manetho and Exodus Gmirkin takes up his theory that the Pentateuch was written around 270 BCE using Greek sources found at the Great Library of Alexandria and applies this to an examination of the biblical law codes. A striking number of legal parallels are found between the Pentateuch and Athenian laws and specifically with those found in Plato's Laws of ca. 350 BCE. Constitutional features in biblical law Athenian law and Plato's Laws also contain close correspondences. Several genres of biblical law including the Decalogue are shown to have striking parallels with Greek legal collections and the synthesis of narrative and legal content is shown to be compatible with Greek literature. All this evidence points to direct influence from Greek writings especially Plato's Laws on the biblical legal tradition. Finally it is argued that the creation of the Hebrew Bible took place according to the program found in Plato's Laws for creating a legally authorized national ethical literature reinforcing the importance of this specific Greek text to the authors of the Torah and Hebrew Bible in the early Hellenistic Era. This study offers a fascinating analysis of the background to the Pentateuch and will be of interest not only to biblical scholars but also to students of Plato ancient law and Hellenistic literary traditions.

Xenophon’s Socratic Works

Xenophon’s Socratic Works

Xenophon’s Socratic Works demonstrates that Xenophon a student of Socrates military man and man of letters is an indispensable source for our understanding of the life and philosophy of Socrates. David M. Johnson restores Xenophon’s most ambitious Socratic work the Memorabilia (Socratic Recollections) to its original literary context enabling readers to experience it as Xenophon’s original audience would have rather than as a pale imitation of Platonic dialogue. He shows that the Memorabilia together with Xenophon’s Apology provides us with our best evidence for the trial of Socrates and a comprehensive and convincing refutation of the historical charges against Socrates. Johnson’s account of Socrates’ moral psychology shows how Xenophon’s emphasis on control of the passions can be reconciled with the intellectualism normally attributed to Socrates. Chapters on Xenophon’s Symposium and Oeconomicus (Estate Manager) reveal how Xenophon used all the literary tools of Socratic dialogue to defend Socratic sexual morality (Symposium) and debate the merits and limits of conventional elite values (Oeconomicus). Throughout the book Johnson argues that Xenophon’s portrait of Socrates is rich and coherent and largely compatible with the better-known portrait of Socrates in Plato. Xenophon aimed not to provide a rival portrait of Socrates Johnson shows but to supplement and clarify what others had said about Socrates. Xenophon’s Socratic Works thus provides readers with a far firmer basis for reconstruction of the trial of Socrates a key moment in the history of Athenian democracy and for our understanding of Socrates’ seminal impact on Greek philosophy. This volume introduces Xenophon’s Socratic works to a wide range of readers from undergraduate students encountering Socrates or ancient philosophy for the first time to scholars with interests in Socrates or ancient philosophy more broadly. It is also an important resource for readers interested in Socratic dialogue as a literary form the trial of Socrates Greek sexual morality (the central topic of Xenophon’s Symposium) or Greek social history (for which the Oeconomicus is a key text).

Copyright Law and Derivative Works Regulating Creativity

Copyright Law and Derivative Works Regulating Creativity

Copyright law regulates creativity. It affects the way people create works of authorship ex-ante and affects the status of works of authorship significantly ex-post. But does copyright law really understand creativity? Should legal theories alone inform our regulation of the creative process?This book views copyright law as a law of creativity. It asks whether copyright law understands authorship as other creativity studies fields do. It considers whether copyright law should incorporate non-legal theories and if so how it should be adjusted in their light. For this purpose the book focuses on one of the many rights that copyright law regulates – the right to make a derivative work. A work is considered derivative when it is based on one or more preexisting works. Today the owner of a work of authorship has the exclusive right to make derivative works based on her original work or to allow others to do so. The book suggests a new way to think about both the right the tension and copyright law at large. It proposes relying on non-legal fields like cognitive psychology and genre theories and offers new legal-theoretical justifications for the right to make derivative works. As the first book to consider the intersection between copyright law creativity and derivative works this will be a valuable resource for students scholars and practitioners interested in intellectual property and copyright law. | Copyright Law and Derivative Works Regulating Creativity

What Works (and Doesn't) in Reducing Recidivism

What Works (and Doesn't) in Reducing Recidivism

What Works (and Doesn’t) in Reducing Recidivism offers criminologists and students an evidence-based discussion of the latest trends in corrections. Experts Latessa Johnson and Koetzle translate the research and findings about what works and doesn’t work in reducing recidivism into understandable concepts and terms presenting them in a way that illustrates the value of research to practice. Over the last several decades research has clearly shown that rehabilitation efforts can be effective in reducing recidivism among criminal offenders but it is clear that treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Offenders vary by gender age crime type and/or addictions to name but a few ways and these individual needs must be addressed by providers. Finally issues such as leadership quality of staff and evaluation efforts affect the quality and delivery of treatment services. While other texts have addressed issues regarding treatment in corrections this text is unique in that it not only discusses the research on what works but also addresses the implementation issues faced as practitioners move from theory to practice as well as the importance of staff leadership and evaluation efforts. This book synthesizes the vast research for the student interested in correctional rehabilitation as well as for the practitioner working with offenders. | What Works (and Doesn't) in Reducing Recidivism
