This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a well-known fact that Kant used the lament of the Trojan queen, Hecuba, from Ovid’s Metamorphoses to describe the fate of metaphysics. But these words could equally be used to describe the peculiar fate of the Alcibiades Major. There was a time when this small dialogue was held in high regard and enjoyed much authority.2 The Alcibiades Major was unreservedly attributed to Plato. It was much read, quoted and alluded to. And it is no exaggeration to say that it was one of the key works of the corpus platonicum. The contrast with the present could hardly be more striking.

Book excerpt: “This is an exceptional book. James M. Magrini combines original scholarship with an innovative reading of Plato's dialogue, which develops into a study that highlights and, importantly, recuperates the importance of the Alcibiades for reflections on ethics, justice, and self-cultivation. By conducting a stringent analysis of Plato's Alcibiades in terms of politics, power, ethics, and their inter-relationship, Magrini uncovers the striking actuality of the dialogue in today's political climate. I strongly recommend Magrini's text to scholars and students alike within the Humanities and the Social Sciences.”--Elias Schwieler, Professor, Stockholm University.

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.

Book excerpt: The First Alcibiades or Alcibiades I is a dialogue featuring Alcibiades in conversation with Socrates. It is ascribed to Plato, although scholars are divided on the question of its authenticity. In the preface Alcibiades is described as an ambitious young man who is eager to enter public life. He is extremely proud of his good looks, noble birth, many friends, possessions and his connection to Pericles, the leader of the Athenian state. Alcibiades has many admirers but they have all run away, afraid of his coldness. Socrates was the first of his admirers but he has not spoken to him for many years. Now the older man tries to help the youth with his questions before Alcibiades presents himself in front of the Athenian assembly. For the rest of the dialogue Socrates explains the many reasons why Alcibiades needs him. By the end of Alcibiades I, the youth is much persuaded by Socrates' reasoning, and accepts him as his mentor. Odin's Library Classics is dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankind's literature from throughout the ages. Carefully selected, each work is unabridged from classic works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or drama.
