Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Day in Athens With Socrates: Translations From the Protagoras and the Republic of Plato Ethical problems, to solve which was the avowed object of this new school bf philosophy, but too frequently were abandoned for a training intended to ensure worldly success and fame; high ideals, sometimes even moral standards, were practically ignored; ability in discussion, facility of expression, came to be regarded not merely as helps to reach truth, but as the sole end of education, the greatest good of man.2 It is doubtless true that to class all the immediate predecessors of Socrates indiscriminately in one school is as unfair as to make their supposed method a mere synonyme for specious argument Also in their favour it should be remembered that an inestimable service was ren dered by these men in preparing the ground for Socrates himself, and through him for all subsequent philosophers. Had the doctrine that Man is the measure of all things not been proclaimed by Protagoras, the conclusion would less soon have been reached, that not only IS philosophy made for man, but that man also is made for philosophy; and that hence his bounden duty, nay, his privilege it is, to apply to each act of his life the test whereby the true may be separated from the false, the real from the unreal.

Download or read book How Philosophy Became Socratic written by Laurence Lampert and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plato’s dialogues show Socrates at different ages, beginning when he was about nineteen and already deeply immersed in philosophy and ending with his execution five decades later. By presenting his model philosopher across a fifty-year span of his life, Plato leads his readers to wonder: does that time period correspond to the development of Socrates’ thought? In this magisterial investigation of the evolution of Socrates’ philosophy, Laurence Lampert answers in the affirmative. The chronological route that Plato maps for us, Lampert argues, reveals the enduring record of philosophy as it gradually took the form that came to dominate the life of the mind in the West. The reader accompanies Socrates as he breaks with the century-old tradition of philosophy, turns to his own path, gradually enters into a deeper understanding of nature and human nature, and discovers the successful way to transmit his wisdom to the wider world. Focusing on the final and most prominent step in that process and offering detailed textual analysis of Plato’s Protagoras, Charmides, and Republic, How Philosophy Became Socratic charts Socrates’ gradual discovery of a proper politics to shelter and advance philosophy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plato Protagoras: With the Commentary of Hermann Sauppe, Translated With Additions by James A. Towle, Principal of the Robbins School The commentary to this edition of the Protagoras of Plato is in the main a translation of that of the fourth German edition by the venerable and distinguished scholar, Dr. Hermann Sauppe, Pro fessor in the University of Gottingen and Privy Councillor of State. The critical notes have been somewhat abridged, and the commentary has received such additions as seemed needful for those students who begin the study of Plato with this dialogue. The American editor trusts that the extreme pleasure which he has found in the preparation of this volume will be shared by those who shall here meet the Platonic Socrates. He makes grateful acknowledgments to Professor Sauppe for his very cor dial permission to give to American students the use of his ad mirable work; and expresses his thanks to Professor Seymour.

Download or read book The Theaetetus of Plato written by Benjamin Hall Kennedy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theaetetus of Plato: With Translation and Notes I. The dialogues of Plato, which I 'chose, from time to time, for the school work of my Sixth Form, were chiefly the Protagoras, the Euthydemus, and the Hippias Major; since this last, if not Platonic, is very amusing and instructive. But\ I' seldom allowed any of my foremost boys to leave school without reading with them privately in the evenings the Theaetetus also, as the best preparative for their deeper study of Plato and of Greek philosophy in general: often adding to it the earlier books (1 - 4) of Aristotle's Ethics. In the past year, 1880, I took it for the sub ject of my Cambridge Lectures, reading a translation to my class, and commenting as occasion required. This was executed in the first instance quite indepen dently, without reference to Professor Jowett's ver sion; but in revising my translation for the press I have compared the two, with frequent advantage, as might be expected, to the correction of my own work. Still the result is, that I have generally departed less widely from the literal Greek than my confrere in the Sister University: and the reason of this is evident.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Platonis Protagoras: With Introduction Notes and Appendices The Protagoras of Plato is one of the few dialogues whose authenticity has never been called in question by any eminent scholar. None of the dialogues attributed to Plato is so full of fallacious reasoning; perhaps none contains an ethical theory so difficult to reconcile with ordinary Platonic teaching; but the extraordinary vivacity and power of the dramatic representation, as well as the charm of style, have furnished proofs of authenticity which even the most sceptical critics have been unable to resist.

Download or read book Plato and Protagoras written by Oded Balaban and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are human beings antithetical in nature? Is there a radical difference between pleasure, efficiency, and moral good, or is the conflict only imaginary? These have traditionally been considered the central questions of Plato's most vivid dialogue, the Protagoras. Many interpreters have seen this dialogue as a confrontation between the moralist (Plato) and the relativist (Protagoras). This dichotomy is manifest when Plato and Protagoras discuss theoretical questions concerning either knowledge of facts or knowledge of values. Through a careful examination of the text, specifically of practical questions about values, Oded Balaban breaks with tradition by concluding that Plato and Protagoras do not exemplify characteristic moralism or relativism at all. He finds that the issue at the crux of the discussion is instead that of the criterion for knowledge and valuation; the Protagoras thus describes the search for a standard by which anything may be known and valued. Balaban applies the fundamental question of standards to that of the entire field of rhetoric: Should a discourse be short or long, simple or complex? What is the standard for conducting literary criticism? The author's revolutionary approach to the Protagoras also involves a study of the myth of Protagoras and situates the dialogue within its framework.

Download or read book Sophistry and Political Philosophy written by Robert C. Bartlett and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was Nietzsche who first identified the similarities between the radical sophistry of antiquity and the contemporary relativism that has come to characterize modern thought. The anti-foundationalism of contemporary thought can be said to have been born with the Sophists, and, of all the Sophists who have come down to us, Protagoras is the most famous and challenging of them. Robert Bartlett s masterful book is the first to examine Plato s Protagoras and Theaetetus together to uncover what lies at the heart of Protagoras teaching, both its moral and political components and its theoretical and epistemological groundings. His superb exegesis of these two dialogues allows one to see more clearly the power of radical relativism: its strengths and its deficiencies. Bartlett notes that political philosophy has been supplanted in the modern era either by the study of the history of political philosophy or by relativism. Although "Understanding Political Philosophy and Sophistry" can certainly be taken as an example of the former, it is much more than that. It seeks to uncover what Socrates, in responding to that teaching, begins to reveal of his own understanding and characteristic activity. It helps us begin to understand, in other words, the phenomenon of philosophy, not just as a system of thought, but as Socrates lived it."
