  • PLATO in the ACADEMY: SOME CAUTIOUS REFLECTIONS John Glucker
    - 1 - PLATO IN THE ACADEMY: SOME CAUTIOUS REFLECTIONS John Glucker I shall deal here with a question of method: how to be fair to scanty evidence. Plato lived in his house near the Academy for over forty years, and one assumes that this is where he wrote most, or all, of his dialogues. Yet we have extremely meagre indications of his other activities in this hub of scholarship and thought. I shall not deal here with his activity as a philosophical thinker except in a few contexts where some of it may have some bearing on our main theme. As we all know, Plato has been depicted over the generations as a Socratic Pythagorean with Heraclitean infuences; a sceptic; a para-Stoic; a Neo-Platonist; a precursor of Christianity; a prefiguration of Hegelian ontology; a destroyer – together with Euripides and Socrates – of the true Tragic Spirit of the Greeks; a neo-Kantian; an existentialist; an analytic philosopher manqué, and a post-modern pharmacist. All this where we have volumes of ancient evidence – but there we are faced, of course, with the lubricous issue of philosophical exegesis. Our problem in the present study is of a different nature. It is chiefly historical, and we have more lacunae than solid facts in our meagre evidence. Indeed, the issue of Plato’s teaching activities is like a jigsaw puzzle where most of the parts are missing. Philosophical scholars tend, by and large, to imitate nature in not liking a vacuum. They have, therefore, the tendency to bridge over the gaps and make 1 assumptions where evidence is lacking.

  • In Plato's Republic, There Is an Usual and Seldom-Noticed Bit of Advice on Leaders and Military Leadership
    “Forgetful Warriors” --Neglected Lessons on Leadership from Plato’s Republic-- G. R. Lucas Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis) Toward the middle of Plato’s Republic,1 Socrates is portrayed as offering a somewhat unusual piece of advice concerning warriors and leadership. The advice is buried in the midst of a lengthy and somewhat rambling discussion, extending from Book III through VII, concerning the selection and education of a nation’s warriors and, ultimately, its political leaders. The commentary I wish to highlight occurs early in Book VI, immediately after the better-known discussions in Book V that culminate in Socrates’ famous suggestion that philosophers alone are qualified to rule the State [473 d]. The wide-ranging discussion to this point has led to consensus among the dinner- party participants that the proper education and training of the warrior and leader is a curriculum in what Socrates explicitly terms “military science” [πολεμική]2. Such a curriculum properly consists (Socrates maintains) in a careful study of the core subjects that we now identify as “the liberal arts.” Having early on [Book III] discussed gymnastics, and “music” (which, with due caution about their heady effects on the young, encompasses literature and poetry), Socrates subsequent adds to these studies of “imitative” and transient subjects the study of what is timeless and enduring, 3 as the 1 I have used the translation by Raymond Larson, with introduction by Eva T.

  • The Lessons of Cassandra: Classical Learning and the Classical Legacy of Jane Addams and Hull House
    Published on Classicizing Chicago (http://www.classicizingchicago.northwestern.edu) Home > The Lessons of Cassandra: Classical Learning and the Classical Legacy of Jane Addams and Hull House The Lessons of Cassandra: Classical Learning and the Classical Legacy of Jane Addams and Hull House Author: Hallett, Judith P. [1] Date of publication: 2011 Unlike the capital cities of major European countries, Washington, D.C. houses no permanent collection of classical art. In the summer of 1990, however, its National Museum of American History acquired a new, permanent exhibition of artifacts that affirms the importance given to Greek and Roman antiquity by a major contributor to our distinctive American cultural heritage. Entitled ?From Parlor to Politics: Women and Reform in America 1890 through 1925,? this exhibition highlights the accomplishments of perhaps the most distinguished and influential woman reformer of that period, Jane Addams (1860-1935), as founder and director of Hull House in Chicago (Mayo ?Parlor to Politics?).1 A statement made in 1902 by one of Addams? friends, the philosopher and educator John Dewey, accompanies the photographs and printed materials displayed to illustrate the varied activities organized at this pioneering urban social settlement. ?The work of Hull House,? says Dewey, ?has been primarily not that of conveying intellectual instruction, but of being a social clearing house? (Mayo ?Parlor to Politics?).2 Yet, as Allen F. Davis observes, ?from the beginning Hull House was an educational institution. Central to its early goals was a desire to extend the advantages of a college education to the working men? (Davis 130-131).3 The items on display in the museum exhibit include three program bulletins that document the educational, and indeed intellectual, emphases of Hull House during its formative years.

I was then busy with Orion and so could not undertake the task for several months, and after I began, my progress was often interrupted. But here it is at last. Much of what I write comes from my memories, and I say a good deal about my own experiences in the Berkeley Classics Department and its predecessors. I have known every member of these departments who was active after 1925. The personal touch, I hope, will enliven this history. My thanks are due to James Kantor and Marie C. Thornton of University Archives for much assistance in finding needed records, papers, and photographs, and to Mrs Kay Gedge for a photograph of her greatgreat-grandfather, George Woodbury Bunnell.

    Plato’s Legacy: Whether the Republic or the Timaeus Reigns Supreme Thomas Arralde, 2013 ________________________________________________ The Republic, considered by many to be Plato’s magnum opus, is “Plato’s most comprehensive dialogue.”1 In its ten books, Plato goes through questions of justice, the good life, what is intelligible, and even what is truly real. Central to the work as a whole is the theory of metaphysics, delivered brilliantly in Book VII through the illustrious “Allegory of the Cave.” Eva Brann asks rhetorically, “Who has spent a lifetime reading Plato’s writings and does not regard the Republic as his central work?”2 This, however, is the exact assumption I set out to explore: was the Republic indeed Plato’s central work, or did his opinions change about his most important theories with time? In Raphael’s fresco The School of Athens, we see the two titans of Greek Philosophy at the center, conversing, each holding one of his own philosophic works. Aristotle is holding the Nichomachean Ethics, but Plato is not holding his magnus opus, the Republic. Instead 1 Kenneth Dorter, The Transformation of Plato’s Republic (New York: Lexington Books, 2006), ix. 2 Eva Brann, The Music of the Republic (Philadelphia: Paul Dry Books, 2004), xiii. 12 he holds the Timaeus. Raphael’s philosophic opinions of Plato are irrelevant, but his choice does underline an important debate over the relationship between the theories proposed in the Republic and the Timaeus. Does the Timaeus supersede the Republic as the defining work of Platonic metaphysics? And if the central doctrine of the Republic is called into question, what does that mean for the rest of its teachings? To begin any discussion on the relationship between the Republic and the Timaeus one must inevitably consider when the two works were produced, or at least what order the two were written in.
