Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on the Platonic Ethics, Vol. 1 The following essays on the Republic, Protagoras, Meno, Gorgias, and Philebus, are taken altogether from the text of Plato. They develop views diametrically opposed to those of Mr. Grote. But, as the opinions of the great historian are identical with the tenets, which Plato spent his life in opposing, and as they exhibit modern Positivism in its most improved form, the admirer of Plato will not regret Mr. Grote's critique: One stroke he aims, That may determine, and not need repeat As not of power. And we may be tolerably certain, that if Mr, Grote's exposition, which is professedly derived from the text of Plato, pure and simple, can be answered without exceeding the same limits, the Academy need fear no new assault. It has been thought advisable to limit the discussion to the Dialogues specified, as they contain all that is necessary for understanding the Ethics of Plato.

This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle, Vol. 1 Having, for these reasons, dispensed with 'introductory Essays, ' I have been obliged to make a good many of the notes somewhat long; and being anxious that every important passage, as it occurred, should there and then impress the student with its full weight - its weight being often the weight of Aristotle's whole Philosophy brought to bear through some technical term - I have not been very careful to avoid repetitions. The quotations from other works of Aristotle, and from Plato, have been printed in full, in order that the junior student may be able to read conveniently, within the limits of these volumes, what he certainly must read, if he is to understand the Ethics in a concrete way as part of Aristotle's entire Philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1866 edition. Excerpt: ...that is, the relation of Self, of the individual Will, of the moral Subject to the objective in the sphere of action. This point of view Aristotle's principle does not touch. Mso-ots expresses the objective law of beauty in action, and, as correlative with it, the critical moral faculty in our minds, but the law of right in action as something binding on the moral subject it leaves unexpressed. To some extent this want is supplied by Aristotle's doctrine of the riXos, which raises a beautiful action into something absolute, and makes it the end of our being. But still the theory of 'Duty' cannot be said to exist in ristotle, and all that relates to the moral will is with him only in its infancy. Meo-orqs, we have seen, expresses the beauty of good acts, but leaves something in the goodness of them unexpressed. In conclusion, we must remember that 'Apery with Aristotle did not mean quite the same as 'virtue' with us; he meant the excellence, or perfection of man, just as he spoke elsewhere of the Aperf of a horse. It is no wonder then that with his Greek views he resolved this into a sort of moral beauty. IV. We have now traced the application of some of his leading philosophical forms in the Ethics of Aristotle. We have observed how he takes the same point of view in discussing man as in treating of nature in general. End, form, and actuality, are in human life, as in. all nature, the good. If we look into the Ethics of Eudemus, and into those three books of his which are our only exposition of part of Aristotle's system, we see a carrying out of the same tendency, an effort to bring the psychology of the Will under some broader and more general law, and to express action and purpose under the form of a logical syllogism. It is uncertain...

Download or read book Platonic Ethics Old and New written by Julia Annas and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julia Annas here offers a fundamental reexamination of Plato's ethical thought by investigating the Middle Platonist perspective, which emerged at the end of Plato's own school, the Academy. She highlights the differences between ancient and modern assumptions about Plato's ethics—and stresses the need to be more critical about our own. One of these modern assumptions is the notion that the dialogues record the development of Plato's thought. Annas shows how the Middle Platonists, by contrast, viewed the dialogues as multiple presentations of a single Platonic ethical philosophy, differing in form and purpose but ultimately coherent. They also read Plato's ethics as consistently defending the view that virtue is sufficient for happiness, and see it as converging in its main points with the ethics of the Stoics. Annas goes on to explore the Platonic idea that humankind's final end is "becoming like God"—an idea that is well known among the ancients but virtually ignored in modern interpretations. She also maintains that modern interpretations, beginning in the nineteenth century, have placed undue emphasis on the Republic, and have treated it too much as a political work, whereas the ancients rightly saw it as a continuation of Plato's ethical writings.
Download or read book The Platonic Dialogues Vol 3 written by William Whewell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Platonic Dialogues, Vol. 3: For English Readers These Dialogues differ in their aim and sub stance from those which I have already published, in that they are not negative but positive, not critical merely but constructive. Two previous Classes of these Dialogues - the Dialogues of the Socratic School, and the anti-sophist Dialogues - are employed in analysing and disproving defi nitions and opinions there propounded; and the other Class, the Dialogues connected with the Trial and Death of Socrates, contains hardly any positive doctrine except that of the Immortality of the Soul. The Dialogues now presented, on the other hand, are full of positive doctrines, ethical, political, and physical, given along with their professed proofs. The Republic contains, especially, a theory respecting the foundations of morality which, if true, supplies an answer to many of the questions discussed in the previous Classes of Dialogues. In those previous Classes, Plato was in search of ethical definitions and ethi cal truths: in the Republic, he conceives himself to have found such definitions and such truths. There he was an enquirer and a critic: here he is a theorist and a moralist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
