Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From Plato But before we can arrive at them a certain process of initiation is necessary. Let us consider for a moment what these ultimate realities, or, as Plato called them, ideas, are. They are that which veritably Is, as opposed to that which Seems. They are that which is eternal and immutable, as opposed to that which comes into being, grows, passes, and vanishes. They are that which is One as opposed to that which is Many. They are the object of true knowledge, for true knowledge can concern itself only with what is fixed and stable; phenomena are the object of opinion only, conveyed through sensuous perception. They are related to phenomena as substance to shadow. Nothing that our sense makes us aware of in the material world has any real existence, save in so far as it partakes of the nature of an Idea. The Idea is the only reality, and the use of sensible objects is to awaken the mind to perceive the Idea. Paradoxical as it may seem, this insistance upon the empty and unreal character of the sensible world is intended to give true worth and meaning to that world, and is indeed the only way in which this can be done. The sensible universe must die to live. Only by realising its absolute unreality, as an object, can we come to understand its true value as the symbol and image of an object.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Republic of Plato Though Thrasymachus is easily silenced, his defeat is not the end of the discussion. Socrates reviewing the argument at the end of Book I. Says that until we know what justice and injustice are, we cannot really tell whether the just or the unjust life is the better. The two subjects are therefore united. The conversation is now directed towards the aim of so defining justice and injustice, and describing their necessary results on society and the soul of man, that an answer may be given to the question between the just and the unjust life based on such universal and ultimate facts of human experience that it must win the agreement of every man who will consent to use his reason. With this the rest of the dialogue is concerned, and at the end of Book IX. The results are gathered together. The superiority of the just life is established by three proofs one based on what we have learnt about justice and injustice from their effects on society, the second on what we now know of the constitution of the human soul, and the third on the account of the nature of reality and truth which has been discussed in Books VI. And VII. Finally, in Book X. The Myth of Er reaflirms this superiority from the standpoint of eternity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"He admits a solitary bankruptcy," said Amber. "Bankruptcy is the official recognition of genius." "It certainly is the shortest way to distinction," said Josephine. "Bankruptcy's a sort of English Legion of Honour, isn't it? - a kind of bourgeois decoration." "To genius," said Amber, with the nod of one who completes a quotation that some one else has begun. Mr. Richmond is really very clever." "Now you contradict yourself - a, moment ago you said he was a genius and being a genius is Just, the opposite to being clever," laughed Josephine. "Is this your syllogism: Geniuses become bankrupt, Mr. Richmond becomes bankrupt, therefore he is a genius?" "Well, that wasn't quite what was in my mind. I suppose that to have the Homeric attribute of nodding scarcely makes one a Homer? "If it did there would be no need for people to learn Greek.
