Platonic Dialogue and the Education of the Reader by A. K. Cotton Pdf

In this volume, Cotton examines Plato's ideas about education and learning. With a particular focus on the experiences a learner must go through in developing philosophical understanding, the book argues that a reader's experience can be parallel in kind and value to that of the interlocutors we see conversing in the dialogues, in constituting learning. The study suggests that, just as Socratic conversation acts as a context for the interlocutors development of dialectical virtues, so the corpus of Plato's works presents an arena for readers to progress through the different stages of learning, providing them with the stimuli appropriate to their philosophical advancement at each point and encouraging them to take increasing responsibility for their own learning. Accordingly, the study proposes that the shape of the corpus, and the changes we observe between early, middle, and late dialogues, are best interpreted with reference to the changing needs of receivers at different stages of their philosophical development. Individual chapters focus on characterization, argumentation, structure and unity, plot, and myth as means by which the dialogues encourage their readers to engage in this productive and distinctive way.

The Platonic Dialogues for English Readers Volume 3 by Plato Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1860 edition. Excerpt: ...to that. The intermediate line cannot be the best line." 81 Crito then expresses the difficulty which he feels about the education of his sons. He says, " I chose their mother with care, I have collected a fortune for them with diligence; it would be absurd to care less for their education than for those matters; yet when I look at the character of our professed teachers, I am discomfited; they seem to me in general so worthless." 82 Socrates replies, that " the worthlessness of those who profess to teach philosophy does not deprive philosophy of its value. That we must well and carefully weigh the thing itself. If you find it bad, reject it; but if good, as I think it is, follow it courageously, and study it diligently, you and your children." And so the dialogue ends. REMARKS ON THE EUTHYDEMUS. Ast holds the Euthydemua to be spurious, on the ground of its being beneath the high and scientific view of Platonic composition; and of its being employed in the empty ridicule of empty quibbling. And he holds further, that a person familiar with the Platonic spirit cannot believe that Plato has devoted an especial Dialogue to the exposure of Sophistry and Wrangling--a subject which is so worthless, and which he had so often exposed in his bye-play. To say that any one who differs from us as to the genuineness of any of the Platonic dialogues is unacquainted with the Platonic spirit, is an easy way of disposing of the subject: only it has this disadvantage, that it can be employed on one side as easily as the other, by any one who does not shrink from the dogmatism and presumption which it involves. A person will best show his acquaintance with the Platonic spirit, by catching and pointing out the opinions, doctrines, arguments and illustrations...

Being and Logos by John Sallis Pdf

[Being and Logos is] a philosophical adventure of rare inspiration. . . . Its power to illuminate the text . . . , its ecumenicity of inspiration, its methodological rigor, its originality, and its philosophical profundity—all together make it one of the few philosophical interpretations that the philosopher will want to re-read along with the dialogues themselves. A superadded gift is the author’s prose, which is a model of lucidity and grace." —International Philosophical Quarterly John Sallis's luminous reading of six major Platonic dialogues—Apology, Meno, Phaedrus, Cratylus, Republic, and Sophist—weaves discussion of dramatic and mythical aspects together with basic philosophical issues. Being and Logos fundamentally reorients our reading and understanding of the platonic dialogues. This new edition of this classic of philosophical interpretation augments the Collected Writings of John Sallis, published by Indiana University Press.

A Plato Reader by Plato Pdf

A Plato Reader offers eight of Plato's best-known works--Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Phaedo, Symposium, Phaedrus, and Republic--unabridged, expertly introduced and annotated, and in widely admired translations by C. D. C. Reeve, G. M. A. Grube, Alexander Nehamas, and Paul Woodruff. The collection features Socrates as its central character and a model of the examined life. Its range allows us to see him in action in very different settings and philosophical modes: from the elenctic Socrates of the Meno and the dialogues concerning his trial and death, to the erotic Socrates of the Symposium and Phaedrus, to the dialectician of the Republic. Of Reeve's translation of this final masterpiece, Lloyd P. Gerson writes, "Taking full advantage of S. R. Slings' new Greek text of the Republic, Reeve has given us a translation both accurate and limpid. Loving attention to detail and deep familiarity with Plato's thought are evident on every page. Reeve's brilliant decision to cast the dialogue into direct speech produces a compelling impression of immediacy unmatched by other English translations currently available."
