Plato's central conception of a universe of ideas Perfect Types of which material objects are imperfect forms and his ethical code based on action according to human nature developed by education which represents the authority of the State fitted in as well with the philosophical religious and political thought of western Europe in the 15th century striving to free itself from the shackles of scholasticism as it did with those of the Byzantine Greeks by whom Plato was repopularized in the western world The dialogues are pervaded by two dominant impulses: a love of truth and a passion for human improvement" PMM 27.

Plato; Tredennick Hugh Translator; Tarrant Harold Translator Introduction/Notes
The Last Days of Socrates: Euthyphro; Apology; Crito; Phaedo Penguin Classics
New York: Penguin Books 1993. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Good. Reprint. Faint crease to rear wrapper edges lightly toned. 1993 Trade Paperback. xxxi 237 pages. Translated by Hugh Tredennick & Harold Tarrant with introduction & notes by Harold Tarrant. "The trial and condemnation of Socrates 469-399 B.C. on charges of heresy and corrupting the minds of the young forms one of the most tragic episodes in the history of Athens in decline. Plato chose to set the four works of this volume despite their different subjects in the context of the events leading up to Socrates' execution. Euthyphro and Crito are typical Socratic dialogues showing the pungency of his mind in addressing the question of man's relationship with the gods and with society. The Apology is Plato's version of Socrates' speeches at his trial -- a brilliant and humorous manifesto for a life guided by self-responsibility though deliberately doomed to failure as a legal defence. In Phaedo Plato develops his own philosophy out of Socrates' calm confidence in the face of death." CONTENTS: Preface; General Introduction; Holiness -- Socrates in Confrontation: Euthyphro; Justice and Duty i -- Socrates Speaks at His Trial: The Apology; Justice and Duty ii -- Socrates in Prison: Crito; Wisdom and the Soul -- Socrates about to Die: Phaedo; Postscript: The Theory of Ideas in the Phaedo; Notes; Select Bibliography; Index.

Plato
1759 Edition of Plato's Dialogue Concerning the Beautifull
PLATO. The Greater Hippias: A Dialogue of Plato Concerning The Beautifull. London: H. Woodfall 1759. First Edition. Quarto 127 pages. Modern calf-backed marbled boards fresh endpapers. In the Greater  Hippias Socrates and Hippias set out to find a definition for "beauty" but are destined to fail due to their inability to formulate an answer which encompasses the entire concept. The text has an anatreptic purpose-- that is the result of the dialogue is to defeat commonly held opinions without necessarily offering a resolution. The Platonic concept of something "good in and of itself" makes its first appearance in this early dialogue which can be read as much as a serious philosophical work as a light satirical comedy with two actors. Translated by Floyer Sydenham whose Platonic scholarship was credited with "'just criticism and extensive learning an elegant taste and a genius naturally philosophic' by Thomas Taylor. Leaves rippled somewhat with light foxing. In very good condition. unknown books

After numerous arrests in Russia Kerzhentsev lived in exile in the UK France and the United States and was active in the Bolshevik groups abroad.

Plato: The Man and His Work Meridian MG 7
Cleveland and New York: Meridian Books 1966. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Spine and wrappers rubbed. 1966 Trade Paperback. x 562 pp. "This book provides an introduction to Plato's work that gives a clear statement of what Plato has to say about the problems of thought and life. In particular it tells the reader just what Plato says and makes no attempt to force a system on the Platonic text or to trim Plato's works to suit contemporary philosophical tastes. The author also gives an account that has historical fidelity - we cannot really understand the Republic or the Gorgias if we forget that the Athens of the conversations is meant to be the Athens of Nicias or Cleon not the very different Athens of Plato's own manhood. To understand Plato's thought we must see it in the right historical perspective. Meridian Books paperback books

Stasiuk Platon
Na chystu vodu. Druga diia istorii nepryiniatoi zemli z Shevchenkovoi Mogyly On Clean Water. A Second Story of the Rejected Soil from Shevchenko's Grave
Niu Iork New York: By the Author 1965. First Edition. Very good. First edition; 7 3/4 x 5 1/4; pp. 2 3-95; light-brown wraps printed in black; a small bump to tail of spine; minor creasing to corners; illustrated with frontis photographs and facsimile documents; very good to near fine condition. Around 1958 Ukrainian emigres in the US came up with the idea of building a memorial to "Ukraine's Favorite Son" author Taras Shevchenko as a way of making a statement about their community and of the situation in their homeland. The campaign gained momentum and in 1960 Congress passed a bill which allocated land in Washington DC for the Ukrainians to build a statue. Platon Stasiuk a prominent Ukrainian-American businessman and treasurer of the Shevchenko Memorial Committee went to Ukraine in 1961 intent on taking back a container of soil from Shevchenko's grave to be placed under the monument in Washington. Expecting an appreciative committee he was instead met with rejection as his bringing the soil was viewed as a Soviet ploy. Disappointed Stasiuk published a book describing his experience and the Soviet media denounced the dismissal as hostility towards a friendly gesture. Stasiuk returned the soil to Ukraine and wrote a second account the current one in which he included numerous letters of support he had received for his initiative. By the Author paperback books

Grou a Jesuit fled to Holland when his order was suppressed in France and it was there that these Dialogues were published.

This set also includes a 1778 edition of La Science de Bonhomme Richard Sabin 78111 which is a French version of Benjamin Franklin's The Way to Wealth. This work includes the sayings of Poor Richard as well as the interrogation of Benjamin Franklin relating to the Stamp Act Pennsylvania's new constitution and the interrogation of William Penn by parliament. Franklin spent a good deal of time in France and was well-liked there. The Way to Wealth was his most popular work and though it first appeared in England in 1757 it was the French translation originally published in 1777 that first included his commentary on British taxation of the American colonies. Herein he presages the colonists' discontent with being taxed and ordered about by a foreign power. Marc-Michel Rey / Chez Ruault, Libraire unknown books
