Plato On Soul And Agency

de Karel Thein

~~200,08€~~ 180,07€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Giving souls strong individuality is one of Plato's most influential but also most controversial innovations. This book addresses such souls' agency, which is a prerequisite of their many functions not only in human life but in the universe at large. Its conclusion is that the agency proper to the soul stands apart from other Platonic causes as the only full-blooded agent whose actions and passions organize our short moral and civic life, all the while participating, thanks to the soul's immortal existence and repeated incarnation, in the maintenance of the cosmos as a home to innumerable living species. Together with treating this multitude of the soul's tasks, the book pays attention to the unavoidable personification of the soul and to the carefully constructed images that impress on the reader its complexity.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Ce livre propose une nouvelle interpretation du Timee de Platon dans laquelle le mythe cosmologique est identifie a une experience de pensee. Le discours de Timee nous demande ce que nous ferions si nous etions un artisan divin charge de faconner l'univers en conferant de l'ordre a un milieu chaotique. Apres avoir adopte trois criteres a satisfaire pour appartenir a la categorie de l'experience de pensee (1 : contrefactualite ; 2 : necessite de la production d'images ; 3 : progres cognitif), il est defendu que le discours de Timee contient a la fois une sequence d'arguments deductifs et la possibilite de combiner ces arguments en differents modeles mentaux de l'univers. This book offers a new interpretation of Plato's Timaeus in which the cosmological myth is identified with a thought experiment. Timaeus' discourse asks us what we would do if we were a divine craftsman in charge of fashioning the universe by bestowing order upon a chaotic milieu. After having adopted three criteria to be satisfied to belong to the category of thought experiment (1: counterfactuality; 2: necessity of image productions; 3: cognitive progress), it is defended that Timaeus' speech contains both a sequence of deductive arguments and the possibility to combine these arguments into different mental models of the universe.

Plato'S Theodicy - The Forgotten Fount

de Viktor Ilievski

~~223,93€~~ 179,14€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Ever since antiquity, the presence of evil has been considered incompatible with the existence of God. This apparent contradiction gave rise to the argument from evil, which turned into a formidable weapon against theism. Faced with this challenge, theists of all creeds have been proposing theodicies, or justifications of God's ways. This monograph is the first book-length treatment of the subject from a Platonic perspective. Its essential message is that Plato devised a noteworthy and influential theodicy comprised of several theodicean strategies, some of which remain relevant even today. Hence, Plato's pioneering contribution to the field of theodicy deserves the attention of both philosophers and theologians.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book addresses a range of highly debated problems among scholars of Plato's Phaedo and provides an overall interpretation of the dialogue.

On the basis of this approach, From Death to Life: Key Themes in Plato's Phaedo intends to offer new contributions to the current scholarly discussion, particularly with regard to the knowability of the Forms, "recollection", the doctrine of the soul as a harmony, the problem of causes, and the so-called "second voyage". This book is expected to spark debate among scholars both in terms of the critical assessment of the theses it proposes and of the objections it raises against alternative interpretations.

Realm Of Mimesis In Plato - Orality, Writing, And The Ontology Of The Image

de Mariangela Esposito

~~209,35€~~ 167,48€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Plato's dialogues stand at a transition from orality to literacy. They are living contradictions-partly oral and partly literary. This relationship between orality and writing is one of the most vexed issues in the history of Platonic interpretation and has particular relevance for the progressive erosion of literacy in favour of digitalisation today. This book argues that the relationship between the oral and the written in Plato's dialogues is not a straightforward opposition, but is instead grounded in ontological analysis and exemplified by the ontology of the image, which appears throughout the Platonic canon. "This book makes a contribution to the topic, with some remarkable scholarly insights, and it may be useful for an introductory reading (in translation) of some key texts in the Platonic corpus, especially for those who are interested in the reception of the problem of mimesis in authors of the philosophical production of the 20th century." -Tomas N. Castro, University of Lisbon, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2024

Apparences Et Dialectique : Un Commentaire Du Sophiste De Platon

de Nicolas Zaks

~~316,68€~~ 253,34€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Dans le Sophiste de Platon, un mysterieux etranger venu d'Elee entreprend de definir methodiquement le rival le plus farouche du philosophe, le sophiste. Sa definition est cependant interrompue par une tentative de refuter l'ontologie de Parmenide. La signification propre de cette refutation et sa relation exacte avec la chasse au sophiste demeurent tres controversees dans la litterature secondaire. Ce livre propose un commentaire suivi du dialogue montrant comment la distinction, souvent negligee, entre dialectique et apparences permet de trancher dans les controverses suscitees par le Sophiste, tout en restaurant l'unite et l'originalite profondes de la pensee de Platon. In Plato's Sophist, a mysterious Eleatic Stranger, the main character of the dialogue, undertakes a systematic definition of the philosopher's fiercest rival, the sophist. His hunt for a definition of the sophist, however, is interrupted by an attempt to refute the ontology of Parmenides. The philosophical significance of this refutation and its exact relationship to the sought-after definition remains a matter of great scholarly dispute. This book, by means of a running commentary on the dialogue, argues that the oft-neglected distinction between dialectic and appearances is not only the key to solving this and other exegetical conundrums, but also reveals the unity and originality of Plato's argument in the Sophist.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 What is knowledge? This fundamental question is treated with unprecedented depth by Plato in his Theaetetus, where it opens the path to many puzzles and issues we are still coping with in our days: what is the nature of perception, belief, justification, truth? Which objects can be properly known? How are we to account for cognitive mistakes? How can the mind be "in touch" with the world? This book provides fresh, rigorous and original explorations of the main themes of the dialogue by well-established scholars who work on Plato and Platonism, especially on Plato's theory of knowledge.

Time And Cosmology In Plato And The Platonic Tradition

~~120,58€~~ 96,46€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The way Plato discusses time and its relation to the cosmos has puzzled and divided his readers from the very beginning. This originated rich and diverse readings that shaped and contributed to the cosmological discussion of the Hellenistic and Late Antiquity periods. Modern scholars too, have offered many and often opposed views on the matter. This book assembles an international team of scholars to move forward the study of Plato's conception of time, to find fresh insights for interpreting his cosmology, and to reimagine the ancient Platonic tradition.

Ma Des Menschen - Platons Antwort An Protagoras Im 'Theaitetos' Und Im 'Protagoras'

de Edwin J. De Sterke

~~482,30€~~ 385,84€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Protagoras beansprucht, die Jugend erziehen zu konnen. Warum nicht? Wenn Mensch Ma aller Dinge ist, kann jeder jeden 'besser' machen... Fur Plato geht das nicht auf. Insofern Padagogik Menschen dazu bringen will, 'bessere' Wesen zu werden, verlangt sie nach Plato ein gesundes Verstandnis von 'Sein' uberhaupt. Diese Studie untersucht die ontologischen Implikationen des Homo mensura-Satzes, Protagoras' Pramisse, im 'Theaitetos' - einem Dialog, der selten ontologisch gelesen wird. Wenn der protagoraische Pramisse den padagogischen Anspruch nicht tragt, durfte der 'Protagoras' gar nicht eigentlich von den erzieherischen Fragen handeln, die diskutiert werden. Es konnte sich herausstellen, dass er einen 'verborgenen' Diskurs enthalt... Protagoras claims to be able to educate the young. If Man is Measure of Everything , anybody can make everybody 'better'... To Plato, this doesn't add up. Insofar as pedagogy aims at making humans become better beings, to Plato it supposes a sound conception of 'being' per se. This study explores the ontological implications of homo mensura, Protagoras' premiss, in the 'Theaetetus' - a dialogue which is rarely read ontologically. If the Protagorean premiss doesn't support the pedagogical claim, the 'Protagoras' might not even be about the educational questions under discussion, but turn out to contain a 'hidden' discourse...

Framing The Dialogues: How To Read Openings And Closures In Plato

~~225,25€~~ 180,20€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Framing the Dialogues: How to Read Openings and Closures in Plato is a collection of 14 chapters with an Introduction that focuses on the intricate and multifarious ways in which Plato frames his dialogues. Its main aim is to explore both the association between inner and outer framework and how this relationship contributes to, and sheds light upon, the framed dialogues and their philosophical content. All contributors to the volume advocate the significance of closures and especially openings in Plato, arguing that platonic frames should not be treated merely as 'trimmings' or decorative literary devices but as an integral part of the central philosophical discourse. The volume will prove to be an invaluable companion to all those interested in Plato as well as in classical literature in general.

Emotions In Plato

~~254,40€~~ 203,52€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Emotions (pathe) such as anger, fear, shame, and envy, but also pity, wonder, love and friendship have long been underestimated in Plato's philosophy. The aim of Emotions in Plato is to provide a consistent account of the role of emotions in Plato's psychology, epistemology, ethics and political theory. The volume focuses on three main issues: taxonomy of emotions, their epistemic status, and their relevance for the ethical and political theory and practice. This volume, which is the first edited volume entirely dedicated to emotions in Plato's philosophy, shows how Plato, in many aspects, was positively interested in these affective states in order to support the rule of reason. "Emotions in Plato is a rich and illuminating book, which will probably make not a few readers change their view of Plato's attitude to emotions." -Margalit Finkelberg, Tel Aviv University, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2021.10.16

Thinking, Knowing, Acting: Epistemology And Ethics In Plato And Ancient Platonism

~~280,90€~~ 224,72€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The volume Thinking, Knowing, Acting: Epistemology and Ethics in Plato and Ancient Platonism aims to offer a fresh perspective on the correlation between epistemology and ethics, a topic of central importance in the Platonic tradition which has not yet received the attention it deserves. The first part deals with the social, juridical premises of Plato's philosophy, with particular regard to the relation between science and practical reason. The second part investigates the reception and development of these problems in Aristotle and the Platonic tradition. Other papers, on Solon and Galen, show that the conflict between knowledge and political action was also a central topic for the other Greek thinkers and contribute by contrast to a better evaluation of the originality of Platonism.

Gatekeeper: Narrative Voice In Plato'S Dialogues

de Margalit Finkelberg

~~221,28€~~ 177,02€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In The Gatekeeper: Narrative Voice in Plato's Dialogues Margalit Finkelberg offers the first narratological analysis of all of Plato's transmitted dialogues. The book explores the dialogues as works of literary fiction, giving special emphasis to such topics as narrative levels, focalization, narrative frame, and metalepsis. The main conclusion of the book is that in Plato the plurality of the speakers' opinions is not accompanied by a plurality of points of view. Only one perspective is available, that of the narrator. Contrary to the widespread view, Plato's dialogues cannot be considered multivocal, or "dialogic" in Bakhtin's sense. By skillful use of narrative voice, Plato unobtrusively regulates the readers' reception and response. The narrator is the dialogue's gatekeeper, a filter whose main function is to control how the dialogue is received by the reader by sustaining a certain perspective of it.

Plaisir A L'Epreuve De La Pensee - Lecture Du Protagoras, Du Gorgias Et Du Philebe De Platon

de Emmanuelle Jouet-Pastre

~~312,70€~~ 250,16€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Que peut bien repondre Socrate a celui qui, comme Callicles, declare, toute honte bue, que la vie bonne consiste dans la satisfaction de tous les plaisirs sans frein ni limite aucune ? Quel logos opposer a la puissante evidence du plaisir, surtout lorsque ceux qui la proclament haut et fort refusent de jouer le jeu du dialogue ? Comment depasser l'opposition si tenace entre plaisir et raison ? Le plaisir a l'epreuve de la pensee explore le lien complexe tisse par Platon entre plaisir et pensee dans le Protagoras, le Gorgias et le Philebe, trois dialogues ou Socrate essaie par tous les moyens d'amener ses interlocuteurs a formuler dans un discours argumente ce qui a leurs yeux ne fait que s'eprouver : la positivite du plaisir. Cet effort, loin de n'avoir qu'une visee refutative par laquelle le philosophe chercherait a montrer les limites d'une ethique du plaisir, tente de renouer le lien entre ce qui paraissait d'abord incompatible : le plaisir et la pensee.
