A Narrative Strategy from Aristophanes to Plato Protagorean Socrates, Socratic Protagoras: A Narrative Strategy from Aristophanes to Plato Michele Corradi Aix-Marseille Univ, ihp, Aix-en-Provence, France 1 Introduction In the Sophist, in the long quest for the definition of sophist—where Plato makes some of his most complex statements on being1—the Eleatic Stranger proposes an image of a nobler form of the sophistic art. He depicts it as the art of purifying someone, through dialectic, of his false opinions and his presumptions of knowing. Critics have correctly read this image as a very problematic presentation of Socrates’ elenchus.2 The Eleatic Stranger himself observes that there is a certain similarity between sophists and philosophers: as the wolf resembles the dog, the fiercest resembles the tamest. He also sets the elenchus within the sophistic art, as one of its noblest (γενναία) forms, very similar to philosophy (229e1–231b8). Certainly, since the early dialogues, one of Plato’s main goals was to clarify the relation between Socrates and the sophists. Such a goal was probably related to the apologetic intent of rehabilitating Socrates’ figure, whose memory was still at the center of disputes many years after his death, as proven both by the evidence concerning Polycrates’ 393 accusation (κατηγορία) and by the reaction of Socrates’ students.3 According to Plato, the popular contempt surrounding Socrates’ tragic death may be mostly ascribed to a confusion of the Socratic paideia with that of other contemporary figures considered responsible for the profound crisis of Athens at the end of the fifth century.4 In particular, Plato holds that this confusion is due largely to Socrates’ portrait in Aristophanes’ Clouds. Nevertheless, as the Sophist shows, Plato comes to a surprising conclusion: the experience of Socrates, as historical figure, has to be seen within the context of the sophistikê.5 Yet this is not a real 1 See at least Prior 1985, 127–167; Fronterotta 2007, 65–134; Solana 2013. 2 Cf. Centrone 2008, xvii–xxi. 3 Cf. Bandini and Dorion 2000, 79–81 n. 77. 4 On this specifically Platonic strategy to defend Socrates, see Notomi 2010; on Plato’s hostility towards the sophists see Kerferd 1981, 4–5, who correctly refers to Gorgias (462b3–465e1) and Sophist (221d1–236d4, 264c4–268d5) as “set-piece treatments.” 5 Cf. Taylor 2006. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2018 | doi: 10.1163/9789004341227_005 protagorean socrates, socratic protagoras 85 surprise, if we focus on the relation, established by Plato, between Socrates and the most important sophist, Protagoras. Among Socrates’ antagonists in Plato’s dialogues, Protagoras is one of the most important indeed. In the eponymous dialogue, Protagoras’ speech occu- pies almost nine Stephanus pages, singularly long in the Platonic dialogues (320c8–328d2 = 80 c 1 dk). The whole first part of the Theaetetus (151d7–187a6) is dedicated to the discussion of the man-measure doctrine (80 b 1 dk). We find explicit references to Protagoras in yet other works, including Cratylus (385e4– 386e5 = 80 a 13 dk; 391b9–c9 = 80 a 24 dk), Euthydemus (286b8–c4 = 80 a 19 dk), Hippias Major (282d3–e6 = 80 a 9 dk), Meno (91d2–92a2 = 80 a 8 dk), Phaedrus (267b10–c7 = 80 a 26 dk), Republic (10.600c3–e2), and Sophist (232b1– 233a7 = 80 b 8 dk).6 In his pages, Plato underlines the striking differences between Protagoras and Socrates, as many scholars have often noticed. Think alone of the opposition between Protagoras’ long speeches (μακρολογία) and Socrates’ dialectic in the Protagoras,7 or of Socrates’ inability to accept the rel- ativity of values consequent to the man-measure principle in the Theaetetus,8 or of compensation for the sophist’s doctrines (μαθήματα)(Cratylus, Hippias Major, Meno, Protagoras, Republic, Theaetetus).9 Despite these oppositions, Plato makes use of refined narrative strategies that aim at revealing unexpected points of convergence between the two figures.10 I refer principally to the over- turning of Socrates’ and Protagoras’ positions at the end of the Protagoras, fol- lowed by the sophist’s praise-prophecy speech about Socrates (361a3–e6), and to the curious image of the Theaetetus, where, as a ventriloquist, Socrates gives voice to a Protagoras redivivus, back from Hades to defend his own positions (166a2–168c2 = 80 a 21a dk). Through these strategies, Plato seems to make allusion to the possible overlapping of the two figures, discerning the Socratic aspects in Protagoras and the Protagorean aspects in Socrates. In this chapter, I shall concentrate mostly on these narrative strategies, on the converging role of 6 Cf. Nails 2002, 256–257. 7 The most careful analysis of this opposition in the dialogue is that by Giannantoni 2005, 48–74. 8 Cf. Sedley 2004, 62–65. 9 Cf. Tell 2011, 39–59; Schriefl 2013, 102–141. The polemic against the sophists’ earning money from teaching is not limited to Plato. For example, Xenophon’s Socrates considers taking fees for teaching to be an infringement of one’s freedom (cf. Mem. 1.2.6, 1.6.5). For a useful survey of ancient sources on the problem, see Blank 1985. 10 On the similarities between Socrates and Protagoras in Plato’s dialogues, see the recent study concerning the Platonic presentation of sophists by Corey 2015, at 39–66, 165–200..

  • The Roles of Solon in Plato's Dialogues
    The Roles of Solon in Plato’s Dialogues Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Samuel Ortencio Flores, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Bruce Heiden, Advisor Anthony Kaldellis Richard Fletcher Greg Anderson Copyrighy by Samuel Ortencio Flores 2013 Abstract This dissertation is a study of Plato’s use and adaptation of an earlier model and tradition of wisdom based on the thought and legacy of the sixth-century archon, legislator, and poet Solon. Solon is cited and/or quoted thirty-four times in Plato’s dialogues, and alluded to many more times. My study shows that these references and allusions have deeper meaning when contextualized within the reception of Solon in the classical period. For Plato, Solon is a rhetorically powerful figure in advancing the relatively new practice of philosophy in Athens. While Solon himself did not adequately establish justice in the city, his legacy provided a model upon which Platonic philosophy could improve. Chapter One surveys the passing references to Solon in the dialogues as an introduction to my chapters on the dialogues in which Solon is a very prominent figure, Timaeus- Critias, Republic, and Laws. Chapter Two examines Critias’ use of his ancestor Solon to establish his own philosophic credentials. Chapter Three suggests that Socrates re- appropriates the aims and themes of Solon’s political poetry for Socratic philosophy. Chapter Four suggests that Solon provides a legislative model which Plato reconstructs in the Laws for the philosopher to supplant the role of legislator in Greek thought.

  • Theory of Forms 1 Theory of Forms
    Theory of Forms 1 Theory of Forms Plato's theory of Forms or theory of Ideas[1] [2] [3] asserts that non-material abstract (but substantial) forms (or ideas), and not the material world of change known to us through sensation, possess the highest and most fundamental kind of reality.[4] When used in this sense, the word form is often capitalized.[5] Plato speaks of these entities only through the characters (primarily Socrates) of his dialogues who sometimes suggest that these Forms are the only true objects of study that can provide us with genuine knowledge; thus even apart from the very controversial status of the theory, Plato's own views are much in doubt.[6] Plato spoke of Forms in formulating a possible solution to the problem of universals. Forms Terminology: the Forms and the forms The English word "form" may be used to translate two distinct concepts that concerned Plato—the outward "form" or appearance of something, and "Form" in a new, technical nature, that never ...assumes a form like that of any of the things which enter into her; ... But the forms which enter into and go out of her are the likenesses of real existences modelled after their patterns in a wonderful and inexplicable manner.... The objects that are seen, according to Plato, are not real, but literally mimic the real Forms. In the allegory of the cave expressed in Republic, the things that are ordinarily perceived in the world are characterized as shadows of the real things, which are not perceived directly. That which the observer understands when he views the world mimics the archetypes of the many types and properties (that is, of universals) of things observed.

  • On the Arrangement of the Platonic Dialogues
    Ryan C. Fowler 25th Hour On the Arrangement of the Platonic Dialogues I. Thrasyllus a. Diogenes Laertius (D.L.), Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers 3.56: “But, just as long ago in tragedy the chorus was the only actor, and afterwards, in order to give the chorus breathing space, Thespis devised a single actor, Aeschylus a second, Sophocles a third, and thus tragedy was completed, so too with philosophy: in early times it discoursed on one subject only, namely physics, then Socrates added the second subject, ethics, and Plato the third, dialectics, and so brought philosophy to perfection. Thrasyllus says that he [Plato] published his dialogues in tetralogies, like those of the tragic poets. Thus they contended with four plays at the Dionysia, the Lenaea, the Panathenaea and the festival of Chytri. Of the four plays the last was a satiric drama; and the four together were called a tetralogy.” b.

  • Plato's Third Man Argument
    Greek Philosophy (Essays) Theo Todman Does the Third Man Argument refute the theory of forms? Fine [1993] recognises four versions of the Third Man Argument (TMA). However, she argues persuasively that these are similar arguments with similar tacit premises, though with different emphases. Consequently, we will consider only that in Parmenides 132a1- b2. Fine’s translation runs as follows, with Parmenides speaking to Socrates: I suppose it is because of the following sort of thing that you think that (1) each form is one: (2) Whenever many things seem large to you, there perhaps seems to you to be, when you have looked at them all, some one and the same idea. Hence you think (3) the large is one. …. (4) What, then, if in the same way you look in your soul at all these – at the large itself and the other large things? (5) Will not some one large appear again, by which all these will appear large? …. So another form of largeness will appear besides the large itself and its participants. (6) And in addition to these, yet another, by which all these will be large. (7) And so each of the forms will no longer be one for you, but infinitely many. There are two things we need to address in this essay. Firstly, we need to understand the TMA itself, determining its premises, logical structure and validity. Secondly, we need to determine what Plato wants us to learn from it, and what its consequences are for his theory of Forms. The Argument Vlastos [1954] generalises Fine’s steps (2) and (5) as: (V2) If a number of things a, b, c, are all F, there must be a single Form F-ness, in virtue of which we apprehend a, b, c as all F.

  • Robert C. Bartlett, Trans., Plato: “Protagoras” and “Meno.” Ithaca and London: Cornell University Press, 2004, 155 Pp., $12.50 Paper
    Book Review: Plato: “Protagoras” and “Meno” 291 Robert C. Bartlett, trans., Plato: “Protagoras” and “Meno.” Ithaca and London: Cornell University Press, 2004, 155 pp., $12.50 paper. A NDREA L. KOWALCHUK UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS [email protected] Robert Bartlett’s Plato: “Protagoras” and “Meno” is a significant contribution to Platonic scholarship. His thoughtful translations are literal without being awkward, and consistent regarding words of philosophic importance. Where there are problems with the manuscripts, discrepancies are indicated, and where there are words that can be variously translated, alternatives are supplied. Notes regarding context, background, definitions, people, and history are also helpful without being burdensome. The interpretive essays are terse and brief, yet dense and full of penetrating questions, suggestions, and insights. Even for those who might disagree with Bartlett’s interpretations, these essays are valuable since they constitute a challenge to more generally accepted views of Platonic psychology, morality, and, ultimately, of the Platonic approach to philosophy simply. What emerges most prominently from Bartlett’s treatments of the two dialogues is the careful and consistent focus on the two title characters, in and through which we gain wonderful insight into the moral self-understanding (or lack thereof) of both Protagoras and Meno. Bartlett’s analysis brings to life, respectively, a sophist and a future criminal (and with less emphasis, a future accuser of Socrates in Anytus), by sifting through and illuminating the particular qualities of each character’s moral confusion, which he also shows to be connected with each man’s view of the cosmos. As the source or sources of their respective confusions come to sight, we are led further into the question of the philosopher’s relationship to virtue, and into the unifying question of the two dialogues: whether virtue can be taught—an “apparently epistemolog- ical question [that] is (also) a thoroughly political one” (138).

  • The Theaetetus Is a Dialogue Full of Puzzles, Not the Least of Which Is the Character of Socrates Himself
    Portrait of a Philosopher: Defining Philosophy and Philosophers in the Theaetetus Harper Lyon Union College The Theaetetus is a dialogue full of puzzles, not the least of which is the character of Socrates himself. While often considered the face of wisdom and knowledge in all of Plato’s works, in this work Socrates constantly proposes bad arguments, goes on long tangents, and leaves us with no definition of knowledge. If Socrates himself cannot be relied on, how can anyone hope to effectively do philosophy? Furthermore, if Socrates is not a proper philosopher himself, is there even one present in the dialogue? I argue that by examining three different ways of practicing philosophy in the Theaetetus, Socrates is shown to represent a single specific faculty of the philosopher, therefore practicing only one part of philosophy, explaining his shortcomings and thereby intimating a more robust platonic philosophical method. Part 1: The Philosopher of the Digression In what is roughly the middle of the Theaetetus, Socrates briefly changes both topic and interlocutor to enter a section called the digression. In this digression we find a detailed description of the philosopher. Framed as a discussion between Theodorus and Socrates on the difference between a statesman or lawyer and a philosopher, the digression seeks to answer questions about the wisdom of philosophers, primarily to explain why they seem foolish or useless to non-philosophers. Socrates answers by exploring the differences between two types of people: the statesmen who are raised in the courts (often referred to as “slaves” of the court) who focus their intellectual efforts on persuading a judge or tribunal to a specific view (172d-e), and the philosophers who care only for the truth and are willing to push their reasoning and discussion towards it at all costs (173c).

  • Plato's Introduction of Forms
    This page intentionally left blank PLATO’S INTRODUCTION OF FORMS Scholars of Plato are divided between those who emphasize the liter- ature of the dialogues and those who emphasize the argument of the dialogues, and between those who see a development in the thought of the dialogues and those who do not. In this important book, Russell Dancy focuses on the arguments and defends a developmental pic- ture. He explains the Theory of Forms of the Phaedo and Symposium as an outgrowth of the quest for definitions canvased in the Socratic dialogues, by constructing a Theory of Definition for the Socratic dialogues based on the refutations of definitions in those dialogues, and showing how that theory is mirrored in the Theory of Forms. His discussion, notable for both its clarity and its meticulous schol- arship, ranges in detail over a number of Plato’s early and middle dialogues, and will be of interest to readers in Plato studies and in ancient philosophy more generally. r. m. dancy is Professor of Philosophy at Florida State University. He is the author of Sense and Contradiction: A Study in Aristotle (1975) and TwoStudies in the Early Academy (1991), and editor of Kant and Critique (1993). PLATO’S INTRODUCTION OF FORMS R. M.
