FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - PRISTINE BRAND NEW COPY - 334 pages. From Library Journal: "Considered by most scholars to be one of Plato's last works the Timaeus is less philosophical dialog than rhetorical display. Though it begins with Socrates reviewing his previous day's discussion of the various institutions of the ideal state the majority of the text is taken up by Timaeus' long philosophical disquisition on the creation of the world. Because the text sets out the foundations of a number of sciences astronomy chemistry cosmology and physics to name just a few it became a central text of Platonism in later antiquity and in the Middle Ages and is still studied as a central element in the canon of Plato's thought. Under the capable editorship of Reydams-Schils liberal studies Univ. Of Notre Dame the present volume brings together 13 essays by scholars from the United States Europe and Canada that address the influence and cultural status of the Timaeus since its appearance more than two millennia ago. Reydams-Schils's well-written and perceptive introduction deals with the reasons for the dialog's special place in Western thought and also serves to introduce the essays themselves which deal with topics as wide-ranging as its influence on our perception of the mind-body relation Richard Sorabji the Timaeus and Renaissance science M. J. B. Allen and the relationship between the Timaeus and the Chaldaean Oracles Luc Brisson. This collection is an excellent and reasonably priced support to studies of Plato's dialogs in general and the Timaeus in particular. Recommended for all academic libraries and larger public libraries with collections in the origins of Western thought." -- with a bonus offer--; 040643; Reydams-Schils Gretchen J.

Recollecting Plato's Meno Topic: Plato's Meno Plato Theory of Recollection

2005réf. 34909United Kingdom: Duckworth Pub. New. Hardcover. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request – – IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY BRAND NEW PRISTINE NEVER OPENED -- 240 pages; 6 x 9 inches - Plato’s Meno is a dynamic and entertaining examination of the nature and origin of the kind of excellence displayed by successful Greek leaders. That such excellence existed was difficult to deny but people expected to show it often disappointed and others expected to know about it seemed confused. Though it depended on something like knowledge it seemed impossible to pass on to others. Hence questions of social and political ethics also involve psychology and theory of knowledge. There is also an important focus on the nature of the learning process which is itself illustrated by the way characters in the dialogue respond or do not respond to the questions and encouragement of Plato’s protagonist Socrates. This book examines both the dialogue itself and the response to it of Plato’s successors from Aristotle and spurious Platonic dialogues through Cicero and an anonymous commentator on the Theaetetus to the Neoplatonists. It looks at which aspects of the dialogue they take most seriously and why. In the light of that response which often suggests a detailed reading of the text in its entirety Harold Tarrant develops a fresh and more integrated view of the original dialogue. - AUTHOR: Harold Tarrant is Professor of Classics and Head of the School of Liberal Arts at the University of Newcastle Australia.

To stimulate student discussion and comparison For reference Lincoln's address at Gettysburg is included in an appendix. Translations are in English including introduction and notes as well as literary and historical commentary. -- AUTHOR: Jud Herrman is Assistant Professor of Classical Studies at Allegheny College. -- FROM THE INTRODUCTION: "Throughout the fifth and fourth centuries BC at the close of each campaign season the Athenian state honored its war-dead in a public burial ceremony choosing a prominent orator to give the keynote address. This volume collects all of the surviving state funeral orations from classical Athens. Like tragedy these speeches present an image of an idealized Athens. The narratives of past Athenian glories found in these speeches feature many of the same mythical tales that were also presented on stage. Like many of the plays the funeral orations emphasize important themes such as Athenian unity their aid to suppliants and their willingness to drive away foreign invaders to protect the other Greeks. The selective version of more recent history found in the funeral orations also highlights these same qualities by focusing on the role of Athens during the Persian Wars 490-479 when the city helped save the other Greeks from invading foreigners and by passing over other events such as the Peloponnesian War 431–404 in which Athens opposed fellow Greeks. Although nearly all of the surviving Greek tragedies are set in the distant mythical past the significant exception is Aeschylus’ Persians the audience in the theater would recognize aspects of contemporary Athens in the depiction of ancient Athenian heroes such as Theseus. The funeral orations draw similar connections more explicitly by presenting a continuous narrative tying the present generation with the great heroes of long ago." -- with a bonus offer--; 520-Herrm; Thucydides Gorgias Lysias Plato Menexenus Demosthenes and Hyperides; with Herrman Judson Translation Introduction notes Commentary Athenian Funeral Orations ; Translations are in English including Introduction notes and literary and histori . 2003. 1585100781 .
