Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plato's Best Thoughts: Compiled From Prof. Jowett's Translation of the Dialogues of Plato These quotations are not to be regarded as giving, in every case, the proper views of Plato, or even of Socrates. Other characters, Opposed and refuted, are made to speak. Their words are here given to be read and received as germs of thought, and stimulants to inquiry in the reader, even as they were first written by Plato, rather than as expressions of his own Opinions. Many fine passages have been necessarily omitted with re gret, because their introduction here would swell this volume beyond the dimensions designed for the ordinary reader. Every theme, therefore, upon which Plato dilates, has not been presented in full. But there has been such a selection as may give the reader a fair idea of his diversity of thought.

While those who are able to purchase, and desirous to peruse the complete translation of Prof. Jowett, will doubtless do this, yet there are many others to whom this volume will be welcome, as giving them the finest wheat of Plato in a ready, readable form, at a moderate rate. Even the possessor and reader of the fuller work may be glad to have with him a compendium of Platonic thought so available, - because alphabetical, - for cursory perusal and casual quotation. It is hoped, at least, by the compiler, that these limited morsels of Plato's Hymettian honey will excite the desire for a fuller feast from the rich banquet which Prof. Jowett has so laboriously and sumptuously provided for those who relish true thought and elegant language, whether coming from ancient or modern thinkers. The design at first was to interweave the choicest paragraphs of this Translator from his learned and thoughtful Introductions, but it was found that this would have made too large a book.

Download or read book Alcibiades I written by Plato and published by Aeterna Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE First Alcibiades is a conversation between Socrates and Alcibiades. Socrates is represented in the character which he attributes to himself in the Apology of a know-nothing who detects the conceit of knowledge in others. The two have met already in the Protagoras and in the Symposium; in the latter dialogue, as in this, the relation between them is that of a lover and his beloved. But the narrative of their loves is told differently in different places; for in the Symposium Alcibiades is depicted as the impassioned but rejected lover; here, as coldly receiving the advances of Socrates, who, for the best of purposes, lies in wait for the aspiring and ambitious youth.

Download or read book Selected Dialogues of Plato written by Plato and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2009-10-14 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Plato A Very Short Introduction written by Julia Annas and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2003-02-13 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lively and accessible introduction to Plato focuses on the philosophy and argument of his writings, drawing the reader into Plato's way of doing philosophy, and the general themes of his thinking. This is not a book to leave the reader standing in the outer court of introduction and background information, but leads directly into Plato's argument. It looks at Plato as a thinker grappling with philosophical problems in a variety of ways, rather than a philosopher with a fully worked-out system. It includes a brief account of Plato's life and the various interpretations that have been drawn from the sparse remains of information. It stresses the importance of the founding of the Academy and the conception of philosophy as a subject. Julia Annas discusses Plato's style of writing: his use of the dialogue form, his use of what we today call fiction, and his philosophical transformation of myths. She also looks at his discussions of love and philosophy, his attitude to women, and to homosexual love, explores Plato's claim that virtue is sufficient for happiness, and touches on his arguments for the immortality of the soul and his ideas about the nature of the universe. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
