Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forty-three dialogues included here, in author John O'Loughlin's collected philosophical dialogues, span the period 1977–84, when he also wrote essays and had not as yet abandoned such genres in favour, first, of his 'supernotational writings' (as a kind of cross between essays and aphorisms) and, then, of the aphoristic and even maximistic purism (whether independently or in combined formats) which took his philosophy to greater heights of truthful insight and, in a manner of speaking, metaphysical truth. – A Centretruths Editorial

Download or read book On Awareness written by Nicholas J. Pappas and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reader of this book is invited to enjoy a tasty feast of bite-sized philosophical dialogues. One reader might choose to enjoy a single dialogue at a time. Other readers might prefer to try a few at a time, in a “dim sum” approach to thoughtful inquiry. Either way, the reader will find a variety of individual themes that reflect upon each other and add up to a larger discussion. Sections center on notions including Peace, Dread, Daring, Ignoring, Hiding, Doubt, Sparks, Time, Patience, Fluff, Dwelling, Revealing, Stepping Back, Knowing, Worry, and Gratitude. As with the author's previous two books with Algora, the main character, Director, leads his interlocutors through an analysis of the issues in question in each dialogue. Sometimes the characters reach agreement; sometimes they don't. But in all cases light is shed on the questions at hand. Readers will find that the book stimulates thought about important topics, and that, if read with other people, it stimulates conversation. A reader might not agree with the conclusion that the characters draw in a particular dialogue, or even how they handled the discussion, but the reader will often find him or herself smiling nonetheless. Like Nick's previous two books, the style here is that of a Platonic dialogue; the language is concise, pointed, and fun.

He is considered an essential figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition, and he founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Along with his teacher Socrates and his most famous student, Aristotle, Plato laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science. Alfred North Whitehead once noted: “the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato.” Plato’s dialogues have been used to teach a range of subjects, including philosophy, logic, ethics, rhetoric, religion and mathematics. His lasting themes include Platonic love, the theory of forms, the five regimes, innate knowledge, among others. His theory of forms launched a unique perspective on abstract objects, and led to a school of thought called Platonism. Plato’s writings have been published in several fashions; this has led to several conventions regarding the naming and referencing of Plato’s texts. —BOOKS BY PLATO— CHARMIDES LYSIS LACHES PROTAGORAS EUTHYDEMUS CRATYLUS PHAEDRUS ION SYMPOSIUM MENO EUTHYPHRO APOLOGY CRITO PHAEDO GORGIAS LESSER HIPPIAS ALCIBIADES I MENEXENUS ALCIBIADES II ERYXIAS THE REPUBLIC TIMAEUS CRITIAS PARMENIDES THEAETETUS SOPHIST STATESMAN PHILEBUS LAWS —SPURIOUS TEXTS— HIPPARCHUS THE RIVAL LOVERS THEAGES MINOS EPINOMIS SISYPHUS AXIOCHUS DEMODOCUS HALCYON ON JUSTICE ON VIRTUE DEFINITIONS EPIGRAMS THE EPISTLES —BOOKS ABOUT PLATO— INTRODUCTION TO THE PHILOSOPHY AND WRITINGS OF PLATO by Thomas Taylor PLATO AND PLATONISM by Walter Pater THE INFLUENCE OF PLATO ON SAINT BASIL by Theodore Leslie Shear ARTICLES ON PLATO by Various PUBLISHER: CATHOLIC WAY PUBLISHING

Download or read book Philosophy as Drama written by Hallvard Fossheim and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plato's philosophical dialogues can be seen as his creation of a new genre. Plato borrows from, as well as rejects, earlier and contemporary authors, and he is constantly in conversation with established genres, such as tragedy, comedy, lyric poetry, and rhetoric in a variety of ways. This intertextuality reinforces the relevance of material from other types of literary works, as well as a general knowledge of classical culture in Plato's time, and the political and moral environment that Plato addressed, when reading his dramatic dialogues. The authors of Philosophy as Drama show that any interpretation of these works must include the literary and narrative dimensions of each text, as much as serious the attention given to the progression of the argument in each piece. Each dialogue is read on its own merit, and critical comparisons of several dialogues explore the differences and likenesses between them on a dramatic as well as on a logical level. This collection of essays moves debates in Plato scholarship forward when it comes to understanding both particular aspects of Plato's dialogues and the approach itself. Containing 11 chapters of close readings of individual dialogues, with 2 chapters discussing specific themes running through them, such as music and sensuousness, pleasure, perception, and images, this book displays the range and diversity within Plato's corpus.

Download or read book Philosophical Dialogues written by Voltaire and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new translation directly from the original French manuscript of Voltaire's 1728 Philosophical Dialogues (original title "Dialogues philosophiques"). This edition also contains supplemental material on Voltaire including an afterword by the translator, a timeline of Voltaire's life and works, summaries of each of the works in his corpus, and a glossary of Philosophic terminology used by Voltaire. Voltaire wrote this during the beginning of the Enlightenment period, which was a time of seismic intellectual and philosophical change in central Europe. Philosophical Dialogues is a collection of theoretical conversations between various historical characters including Eramus, ancient philosophers, Protestant Reformers and Materialist European philosophers, in which they discuss topics such as religion, science, and morality. The work was important because it challenged traditional religious beliefs, contrasting vastly different worldviews and great thinkers, and sparked debate about the role of reason and science in society on top of the massive conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism. These dialogues are fascinating "fake" conversations between ideologies that remain tremendously relevant today.

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.

Download or read book Plato s Dialogues written by Carol Dunn and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 8 lectures, Basel and Dornach, December 22, 1918 - January 1, 1919 (CW 187) "This is the goal toward which mankind strives through the new wisdom, in the new spirit: To find in the spirit itself the power to overcome egotism and the falseness of life, to overcome self-seeking through love, the sham of life through truth, illness through health-giving thoughts that put us into immediate accord with the harmonies of the universe, because they flow from the harmonies of the harmonies of the universe" (Rudolf Steiner). Steiner examines the inner history of Christianity, explaining its relationship to ancient Judaism, Hellenism, Romanism, Gnosticism, and Egypto-Chaldean initiation. He describes the hidden spiritual battle raging today and the need for a renewal of the mysteries in a modern form. Today's road to Christ must involve a new, formative thinking whose Christian character is shown in the advent of selflessness, health, and a sense for truth. George O'Neil describes the nature of these lectures in his foreword: "As always, Rudolf Steiner spoke freely without using notes. Most of his audience had studied--or were at least familiar with--his written works and the published lecture cycles on the Gospels and related themes. A similar background will be needed for reading How Can Mankind Find the Christ Again? Such a background will prepare the reader for challenges and vistas not encountered elsewhere. Steiner's message of the new Christ Light midst the shadow existence of our age speaks to the modern soul in search of a cognitive reach" How Can Mankind Find the Christ Again? is a translation of Wie kan die Menschheit den Christus wiederfinden? Das dreifache Schattendasein unserer Zeit und das neue Christus-Licht (GA 187).

Download or read book Contemporary Philosophical Dialogues Collection written by Carlo Magno Simental Torres and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-02 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the goals of the book is to show people that they can live much longer than the current average life span.The theme of the book is varied, since it is philosophy; it ranges from Newton's laws to Einstein's theory of relativity; curiously applied to the life of the human being, seeking to improve it. It has a very spiritual touch, and its intellectual aspect. You can see in it a bit about the physiology of the body, seeking to keep it in perfect condition; since our body is the one that allows us to enjoy all the pleasures of life. It relies on some aspects on events that the Bible describes, since it is a source of information that can reveal some mysteries that man still does not understand, even with all the technology and wisdom that are around; and by prevailing prejudices. Without ruling out the analysis of some concepts of outstanding characters of recent times.For a better understanding of the points it is developed in the form of dialogues between teacher and disciple; making it more entertaining by unfolding in different scenarios, and creating different visual scenes in our mind.M: Everything is governed by Laws. Take a stone, throw it up: What's wrong?D: It falls again.M: You have applied a force to lift the stone, and another to throw it upwards, but the stone stopped and returned to the ground, not exactly where you took it from. I'm going to tell you in a simpler way: Man is all power, as you apply your potential, likewise you will overcome the opposing force ...D: That means: Are we more incomplete? What can be done?M: Be constant in acquiring wisdom and applying it. If a man wants life he must learn what it is made of, look around him and contemplate Nature; he must know that every moment he is valuable and decisive, that his decision today transcends or defeats him...CONTENT1.
