    av

    Stephen G. Miller

    ISBN: 9780520258334 - UTGIVEN: 2009-11-04

    This book explores the provenance of the so-called Berkeley Herm of Plato, a sculptural portrait that Stephen G. Miller first encountered over thirty years ago in a university storage basement.

  2. Plato: Clitophon

    ISBN: 9780521031066 - UTGIVEN: 2006-11

    The Clitophon, a dialogue generally ascribed to Plato, is significant for focusing on Socrates' role as an exhorter of other people to engage in philosophy. It was almost certainly intended to bear closely on Plato's Republic and is a fascinating specimen of the philosophical protreptic, an importan[...]

    av

    Mary Margaret McCabe

    ISBN: 9780521033794 - UTGIVEN: 2007-04

    How does Plato view his philosophical antecedents? Plato and his Predecessors considers how Plato represents his philosophical predecessors in a late quartet of dialogues: the Theaetetus, the Sophist, the Politicus and the Philebus.

  4. Plato's "Cratylus" (Häftad)

    av

    Mary Margaret McCabe

    ISBN: 9780521034029 - UTGIVEN: 200709

    Plato's Cratylus is a brilliant but enigmatic dialogue. It bears on a topic, the relation of language to knowledge, which has never ceased to be of central philosophical importance, but tackles it in ways which at times look alien to us. In this reappraisal of the dialogue, Professor Sedley argues t[...]

  5. Method and Politics in Plato's Statesman

    ISBN: 9780521036870 - UTGIVEN: 2007-05

    Among Plato's works, the Statesman is usually seen as transitional between the Republic and the Laws. This book argues that the dialogue deserves a special place of its own. Whereas Plato is usually thought of as defending unchanging knowledge, Dr Lane demonstrates how, by placing change at the hear[...]

  7. Cambridge Studies in the Dialogues of Plato (häftad)

    ISBN: 9780521104685 - UTGIVEN: 2009-03

    Given its brevity, Plato's Meno covers an astonishingly wide array of topics: politics, education, virtue, definition, philosophical method, mathematics, the nature and acquisition of knowledge and immortality. Its treatment of these, though profound, is tantalisingly short, leaving the reader with [...]

  8. Plato and the Art of Philosophical Writing (Häftad)

    ISBN: 9780521131261 - UTGIVEN: 2010-02

    Plato's dialogues are usually understood as simple examples of philosophy in action. In this book Professor Rowe treats them rather as literary-philosophical artefacts, shaped by Plato's desire to persuade his readers to exchange their view of life and the universe for a different view which, from t[...]

    ISBN: 9780521349628 - UTGIVEN: 2011-07

    At the beginning of his Metaphysics, Aristotle attributed several strange-sounding theses to Plato. Generations of Plato scholars have assumed that these could not be found in the dialogues. In heated arguments, they have debated the significance of these claims, some arguing that they constituted a[...]

    ISBN: 9780521436106 - UTGIVEN: 1992-10

    Plato stands as the fount of our philosophical tradition, being the first Western thinker to produce a body of writing that touches upon a wide range of topics still discussed by philosophers today.
