Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Kalb's commentary on Plato's Euthyphro aims to simultaneously correct philosophical misapprehensions about the dialogue and establish its literary place and value. In addition to the active and passive voices of English and other Western languages, Ancient Greek possessed a middle voice. The famous "Euthyphro Dilemma," so called, is really based upon an equivocation between the passive and middle voice, one that cannot be rendered in English. Plato, in this supposedly early dialogue, solves metaphysically a key difficulty in the theory of Ideas presented in Parmenides, a supposedly late dialogue. This shows the division of Plato's dialogues into early, middle, and late periods to be based upon a simple misunderstanding of his doctrine. Moreover, it sheds great light upon Plato's doctrine of the soul. Euthyphro draws upon Greek epic and tragedy, especially Oedipus the King. However, the full meaning and value of Euthyphro only becomes apparent in the context of his whole corpus of dialogues. As always, Plato makes serious demands upon his reader.

Book excerpt: Euthyphro by Plato. Euthyphro by Plato, is a Socratic dialogue whose events occur in the weeks before the trial of Socrates (399 BC), for which Socrates and Euthyphro attempt to establish a definitive meaning for the word piety (virtue). This Euthyphro and Socrates are represented as meeting in the porch of the King Archon. (Compare Theaet.) Both have legal business in hand. Socrates is defendant in a suit for impiety which Meletus has brought against him (it is remarked by the way that he is not a likely man himself to have brought a suit against another); and Euthyphro too is plaintiff in an action for murder, which he has brought against his own father. The latter has originated in the following manner: -A poor dependant of the family had slain one of their domestic slaves in Naxos. The guilty person was bound and thrown into a ditch by the command of Euthyphro's father, who sent to the interpreters of religion at Athens to ask what should be done with him. Before the messenger came back the criminal had died from hunger and exposure
Download or read book The Final Days of Socrates written by Plato and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Final Days of Socrates is a book of four dialogues by Plato-Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo-centering, as most of Plato's dialogues do, around Socrates. These four dialogues cover the time leading up to Socrates' trial and through his death and depiction of the afterlife. Euthyphro concerns Socrates and Euthyphro, a known so-called religious expert, as they try to determine a definition for piety. Apology is Plato's version of Socrates' speech as he defends himself against the criminal charges of corrupting the youth and not believing in the same deities as the state. The Crito is a dialogue between Socrates and a friend about justice, injustice, and the reaction to injustice. Finally Phaedo, one of Plato's most famous Socratic dialogues, depicts the death of Socrates and his argument for the existence of an afterlife. All four works are also included in the Cosimo omnibus editions of The Works of Plato. One of the greatest Western philosophers who ever lived, PLATO (c. 428-347 B.C.) was a student of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle. Plato was greatly influenced by Socrates' teachings, often using him as a character in scripts and plays (Socratic dialogues), which he used to demonstrate philosophical ideas. Plato's dialogues were and still are used to teach a wide range of subjects, including politics, mathematics, rhetoric, logic, and, naturally, philosophy.
Download or read book Euthyphro written by Plato and published by Phoemixx Classics Ebooks. This book was released on 2021-09-19 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Euthyphro Plato - As the indisputable father of Western philosophy, Socrates stands as the archetype of free inquiry and intellectual honesty throughout history. He dared to explore the minds of men, to analyze the content of cherished beliefs, and to distinguish knowledge and truth from opinion. This philosophical gadfly irritated the people of Athens, who tried him for corrupting their youth, and subsequently sentenced him to death for his "crime."In these four short works by Plato, we come to experience the full range of Socrates' penetrating mind. In the Euthyphro, Socrates searches after the truth about the nature of piety, even as he makes his way to Athens to answer an indictment leveled against him.The Apology recounts Socrates' attempt to defend himself against the charge of impiety. Once condemned, Socrates finds himself imprisoned to await death.The Crito captures his views on his relationship with the state and what each has a right to expect from the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The European philosophical tradition. . .consists of a series of footnotes to Plato." -- Alfred North Whitehead The dialogues of Plato stand alongside the Bible and Homer's Iliad and Odyssey as foundational texts of Western civilization. The works of Plato collected under the title The Trial and Death of Socrates have been particularly influential. This is because they provide both an excellent point of entry into Plato's vast philosophy and a vivid portrait of Plato's mentor, Socrates - one of the most uncompromising intellectuals in the pantheon of human history. It is predominantly through Plato's account in these works of the words and actions of Socrates during his trial and execution for impiety that the latter's nobility and profound integrity have become known to succeeding generations.
