  • Glaucon's Fate: History, Myth, and Character in Plato's Republic

    de Jacob Howland ...
    “Glaucon's Fate is one of the most interesting and insightful treatments of Plato's Republic in years . . . We may never know the real Socrates, but Howland's mastery and interpretation of an impressive array of works from Plato's time, along with his insight into many Platonic dialogues, including and especially the Republic, makes this book a must-read for anyone interested in Plato, Socrates, ...

  • Readings of Plato's Apology of Socrates

    Defending the Philosophical Life

    de Vivil Valvik Haraldsen, Olof Pettersson, Oda E. Wiese Tvedt, Kristin Sampson, Knut Ågotnes, Jacob Howland, Gro Rørstadbotten, Hallvard Fossheim0, Elena Irrera1, Arlene W. Saxonhouse2, Paul Woodruff3 ...
    In Plato’s Apology of Socrates we see a philosopher in collision with his society—a society he nonetheless claims to have benefited through his philosophic activity. It has often been asked why democratic Athens condemned a philosopher of Socrates' character to death. This anthology examines the contribution made by Plato’s Apology of Socrates to our understanding of the character of Socrates as ... Leer más

  • Socratic Philosophy and Its Others

    de Denise Schaeffer, Christopher Dustin, Michael Davis, Catherine H. Zuckert, Gwenda-lin Grewal, Mary P. Nichols, Christopher A. Colmo, David Corey, Matthew Dinan0, Jacob Howland1, Evanthia Speliotis2, Ronna Burger3 ...
    The overall aim of the volume is to explore the relation of Socratic philosophizing, as Plato represents it, to those activities to which it is typically opposed. The essays address a range of figures who appear in the dialogues as distinct “others” against whom Socrates is contrasted—most obviously, the figure of the sophist, but also the tragic hero, the rhetorician, the tyrant, and the poet. ...

  • Plato and the Talmud

    de Jacob Howland ...
    This innovative study sees the relationship between Athens and Jerusalem through the lens of the Platonic dialogues and the Talmud. Howland argues that these texts are animated by comparable conceptions of the proper roles of inquiry and reasoned debate in religious life, and by a profound awareness of the limits of our understanding of things divine. Insightful readings of Plato's Apology, ... Leer más

  • The Platonic Art of Philosophy

    Edición de George Boys-Stones, Dimitri El Murr, Christopher Gill ...
    This is a collection of essays written by leading experts in honour of Christopher Rowe, and inspired by his groundbreaking work in the exegesis of Plato. The authors represent scholarly traditions which are sometimes very different in their approaches and interests, and so rarely brought into dialogue with each other. This volume, by contrast, aims to explore synergies between them. Key topics ... Leer más

  • The Ethics (Ethica Ordine Geometrico Demonstrata)

    de Spinoza, Benedict de ...
    The book is perhaps the most ambitious attempt to apply the method of Euclid in philosophy. Spinoza puts forward a small number of definitions and axioms from which he attempts to derive hundreds of propositions and corollaries, such as "When the Mind imagines its own lack of power, it is saddened by it", "A free man thinks of nothing less than of death", and "The human Mind cannot be absolutely ...

  • Aristotle: Eudemian Ethics

    de Brad Inwood, Raphael Woolf ...
    Series series Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy
    Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics has been unjustly neglected in comparison with its more famous counterpart the Nicomachean Ethics. This is in large part due to the fact that until recently no complete translation of the work has been available. But the Eudemian Ethics is a masterpiece in its own right, offering valuable insights into Aristotle's ideas on virtue, happiness and the good life. This ... Leer más

  • A New Stoicism

    Revised Edition

    de Lawrence C. Becker ...
    What would stoic ethics be like today if stoicism had survived as a systematic approach to ethical theory, if it had coped successfully with the challenges of modern philosophy and experimental science? A New Stoicism proposes an answer to that question, offered from within the stoic tradition but without the metaphysical and psychological assumptions that modern philosophy and science have ...

  • Lost Masters

    Rediscovering the Mysticism of the Ancient Greek Philosophers

    de Linda Johnsen ...
    Series series Eckhart Tolle Editions
    Ashrams in Europe twenty-five hundred years ago? Greek philosophers studying in India? Meditation classes in ancient Rome? It sounds unbelievable, but it’s historically true. Alexander the Great had an Indian guru. Pythagoras, Empedocles, and Plotinus all encouraged their students to meditate. Apollonius, the most famous Western sage of the first century c.e., visited both India and Egypt — and ... Leer más
