Socratic Dialogues: The Complete Works of Plato

Autor Plato Traducere de Benjamin Jowett
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 ian 2024
These Socratic dialogues follow the infamous philosopher, skeptic, and gadfly Socrates during the final days before his execution for impiety and the corruption of the youth of Athens. Meno recounts his argument about virtue and knowledge with a fellow philosopher. Euthyphro records his debate about virtue and piety with a priest. The Apology documents his defense of the Socratic method and skepticism to a jury. And Crito recalls his discussion of justice with a friend.

Recenzii

These five dialogues depict the life, death, and philosophical methods of Socrates, as portrayed by his student and philosophical successor, Plato. Meno offers some of the clearest and most compelling examples of the Socratic method in application. In Euthyphro, Socrates examines the concept of piety and displays his propensity for questioning Athenian authorities. Next, in the Apology, we find Socrates defending himself in court against charges of impiety and corruption of the youth. Crito shows Socrates choosing to accept the resulting death sentence rather than escape Athens and avoid execution. And in Phaedo, Socrates reflects on the immortality of the soul before carrying out his own sentence.

“There is no better introduction to philosophy than Plato, and no better introduction to Plato than these five dialogues in this fresh, lively translation by Cathal Woods and Ryan Pack. The translation is faithful to the original in clear, readable English. Students will be able to follow Plato’s arguments, even when they are subtle, and the dramatic force and humour of the dialogues come through very well. Andrew Bailey’s introduction is excellent, providing the historical, religious, political, and philosophical context without overwhelming the reader. The notes are clear, helpful, and non-intrusive, and the dialogues have been given (properly) in dramatic order. This edition will become the standard.” — Steven Baldner, St. Francis Xavier University
Praise for the included translations and introductions:
“This new translation … is a lively and accessible account of the end of Socrates’ life. The text animates the paramount questions of piety, wisdom, justice, and the soul as they are addressed in the dialogues. Included is an introduction that provides an excellent and concise analysis of Socrates’ substantive philosophical positions.” — Ann Ward, University of Regina
“ … a new translation and fresh reappraisal of the dialogues that comprise the last days of Socrates. The book’s accessible analysis and critical suggestions make it a must-read for anyone interested in ancient Greek philosophy and, more importantly, basic philosophical questions.” — Andre Archie, Colorado State University
