Download or read book Plato s Defence of Poetry written by Julius A. Elias and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1984-06-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ignorant, irrational and irresponsible: these are the terms used by Plato when referring to poets. Yet the philosopher acknowledged that he was not insensible to the charms of poetry, and many would agree that Plato's myths are themselves poetry of the very first rank. In Plato's Defence of Poetry—the first full-scale treatment of the subject since 1905—Julius A. Elias demonstrates that Plato offers a defence of poetry in response to his own famous challenge. This study restores the myths to their proper place in the Platonic corpus by showing their methodological relationship to the dialectic and their substantive connection to Plato's theories of knowledge, ethics, politics, and aesthetics. While agreeing that for Plato, poetry must be harnessed to the service of truth and socially desirable values, Elias shows that poetry is indispensable to the philosopher: when the audience would reject a more obviously didactic approach, poetry makes accessible and palatable truths demonstrable by reason. Furthermore—and this is the most novel and important feature of this study—Elias argues that the myths embody the indemonstrable axioms of Plato's system. Plato was aware that in every system, including mathematics, certain fundamental presuppositions necessarily remain unproven. Rather than assert them dogmatically, Plato expresses these undercurrents poetically so as to capture their emotional persuasiveness while defining their relevance. In Plato's Defence of Poetry, the myths themselves are interpreted afresh in light of these claims.

Download or read book The State in Socialist Society written by Neil Harding and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1984-06-30 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of all the essays in this collection is the problem of state power in Communist regimes. The problematic nature of the relationship between state and society has troubled the marxist tradition since its inception and continues to be an unresolved issue for its contemporary theorists. Western attempts to characterise the state formations of Communist regimes are equally notoriously debatable and fraught with methodological problems. Both indigenous and Western attempts to theorise these formations are thoroughly reviewed in the early chapters of this book. Later chapters, each written by an expert in the field, go on to explore particular issues (the problem of nationalism within a multi-national state, for instance) or the recent experience of selected Communist regimes in attempting to adapt their institutions to meet new problems. Special attention is paid to the USSR in view of the enormous significance of the Soviet State and the extent to which it has served as a model. Other case studies have been included on the basis that these state formations display unique features (Yugoslavia), that size and importance commends them (China), or that failure in the process of institutional adaptation is instructive for their pathology (Poland). What this book sets out to do is to bring a variety of approaches and a varied expertise to bear upon a very large but relatively neglected issue in contemporary politics—the nature of the state formations of Communist regimes.

Book excerpt: Estudio en el que se comparan los efectos del trabajo de la mujer en el matrimonio en los paises capitalistas y socialistas. Las mujeres que se dedican exclusivamente al trabajo domestico suelen tener una relacion ambivalente respecto a la vida profesional del marido, se comunican y comparten menos. Los matrimonios en los que ambos trabajan tienen roles mas igualitarios aunque persiste la tradicion de que la mujer se ocupe de los hijos; ello se debe no tanto a actitudes individuales como al sentido que se le sigue dando al trabajo femenino como opcional y complementario y a la falta de apoyo institucional en cuanto a la flexibilizacion de horarios tanto para los hombres como para las mujeres, la distribucion igual de_ tareas y el cuestionamiento de la competitividad alienante en el trabajo.
