  • Plato on Aporia and Self-Knowledge,” Argues That Socrates’ “Disavowal of Knowledge” in the Early Dialogues Evinces a Specific Kind of Self-Knowledge
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-11355-7 - Ancient Models of Mind: Studies in Human and Divine Rationality Edited by Andrea Nightingale and David Sedley Excerpt More information Introduction Andrea Nightingale and David Sedley i This book started life at a conference which its two editors organized to honour Tony Long, better known to the world of scholarship as A. A. Long. It was held at his own university, the University of California, Berkeley, in September 2007,tomarkhis70th birthday. “Models of Mind” was known to us as the working title of a long-term project of Long’s own, and seemed to us to capture a theme that has, more than any other, been the hallmark of his truly seminal contribution to the study of ancient philosophy over four decades and more. Tony Long was born in England in 1937.Since1991 he has been Irving Stone Professor of Literature in the Department of Classics at Berkeley, where he is also an affiliated professor in the departments of Philosophy and Rhetoric. But his education and the first part of his professional career were set elsewhere. He took his BA and PhD degrees at University College London. There, among many leading scholars who taught and influenced him, special mention must be made here of David Furley, whose exceptional incisiveness and intellectual clarity in the study of ancient philosophy clearly passed from teacher to pupil. However, Long was not yet specializing in ancient philosophy, and his doctoral thesis (completed in 1964 under T. B. L. Webster) was in fact on Sophocles, later becoming the basis of his highly regarded 1968 book Language and Thought in Sophocles: A Study of Abstract Nouns and Poetic Technique.

  • On the Challenges the Sons of Ariston Pose to Socrates in the Republic, Socrates’S Confounding Responses to Them, and the Character of Justice Part I: the Challenges†
    On the Challenges the Sons of Ariston Pose to Socrates in the Republic, Socrates’s Confounding Responses to Them, and the Character of Justice Part i: The Challenges† Erik Curiel‡ August 23, 2009 I respectfully and affectionately dedicate this paper, in memoriam, to Prof. Arthur W. H. Adkins, a scholar, a gentleman and an inspiration without peer, who radiated a gracious and dignified joy, always with a mischievious twinkle in his eye and not quite hidden smile, the natural expression of his eÎdaimoniko˜u life. Contents 1 Many Questions 2 2 Two Brothers 4 3 A Few Remarks 13 4 One Question 18 †This is the first of a series of three papers on the Republic, as I discuss in the opening section. ‡I thank Alan Code, Eric Brown, Casey Perin, Ian Mueller, Richard Kraut and Chris Bobonich for many discussions over many years touching directly and indirectly on the themes of this paper. I first proposed the core of this reading in a colloquium given at the Committee on Ancient Philosophy, at the University of California, Berkeley, in early 1999, and the arguments would be much the poorer without the enthusiastic (you know who you are) and salutary criticism of that audience. 1 On the Challenges the Sons of Ariston Pose to Socrates in the Republic 1 Many Questions “I went down yesterday to the Piræus with Glaukon, the son of Ariston, to pay my respects to the goddess. .” So begins the Republic.1 The questions already begin to press in on one fast and thick. Why does Plato place the dramatic action in this singularly determined way? The action of no other dialogue, besides those taking place at Socrates’s trial and execution, can be placed so exactly in time.2 Almost none else is narrated by Socrates himself.

  • 6 X 10.Long New.P65
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83342-4 - The Cambridge Companion to Socrates Edited by Donald R. Morrison Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to SOCRATES The Cambridge Companion to Socrates is a collection of essays that provides a comprehensive guide to Socrates, the most famous Greek philosopher. Because Socrates himself wrote nothing, our evidence comes from the writings of his friends (above all Plato), his enemies, and later writers. Socrates is thus a literary figure as well as a historical person. Both aspects of Socrates’ legacy are covered in this volume. Socrates’ character is full of paradox, and so are his philosophical views. These paradoxes have led to deep differences in scholars’ interpretations of Socrates and his thought. Mirroring this wide range of thought about Socrates, this volume’s contributors are unusually diverse in their background and perspective. The chap- ters in this volume were authored by classical philologists, philoso- phers, and historians from Germany, Francophone Canada, Britain, and the United States, and they represent a range of interpretive and philosophical traditions. Donald R. Morrison is Professor of Philosophy and Classical Studies at Rice University. He has also been a Rockefeller Fellow at the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University, a Junior Fellow of the Center for Hellenic Studies, and a visiting professor at the University Paris I–Sorbonne. His publications have appeared in edited collections and scholarly journals, including Polis, Ancient Philosophy, and History of Political Thought. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83342-4 - The Cambridge Companion to Socrates Edited by Donald R.

  • Forgiveness Ancient and Modern
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87882-1 - Forgiveness: A Philosophical Exploration Charles L. Griswold Excerpt More information 1 Forgiveness Ancient and Modern Ancient pagan notions of forgiveness are a vast and poorly studied topic.1 That such notions existed is more than merely probable. The vocabulary for them was in place, along with a cluster of related notions – pardon, mercy, pity, compassion, apology, debt relief, excuse, among others – as was a sophisticated understanding of the emotions (in particular, retributive anger) to which forgiveness somehow responds. Similarly, the ends that forgiveness proposes, such as reconciliation, peace, and cer- tainly the forswearing of revenge, were well understood. I very much doubt that there existed a single view on any of these topics (something like “the ancient pagan view”), though establishing that point would require a careful and comprehensive study of ancient literature, law court speeches and jurisprudence, the writings of the historians and physicians, and of course the philosophical texts. As is true in respect of other ideas, it would not surprise if the philosophers rejected or modified common views about forgiveness and related notions. Nonetheless, such notions did circulate in pre-Christian pagan thought and culture (counting here the Roman as well as Greek), contrary to common wisdom. 1 Some help concerning their role in the Western tradition (to which my discussion is limited) may be found in K. Metzler, Die griechische Begriff des Verzeihens: Untersuch am Wort- stamm syngnome von den ersten Belegen bis zum vierten Jahrhundert n. Chr.

  • Letter from the Chair
    AUTUMN NEWSLETTER 2016 Letter from the Chair Stanford University’s celebration of 125 years has been a time to reflect on one-and- a-quarter centuries of Classics on the Farm. This is exactly what our recent PhD Mark Pyzyk has done in his exhibit, which evocatively showcases the first five or so decades of the department’s history. How different those times seem compared to our own, even as we classicists revisit some of the very same material with new perspectives and fresh approaches.

  • Politeiai and Reputation in Plato's Thought
    Politeiai and Reputation in Plato’s Thought Andreas Avgousti Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Andreas Avgousti All rights reserved ABSTRACT Politeiai and Reputation in Plato’s Thought Andreas Avgousti Despite the fact that reputation is a feature of Plato’s work and context, scholars have scarcely addressed the place of reputation in Plato’s thought. Herein I ask: ‘what is reputation (doxa) for Plato?’ and provide an answer by turning to the political orders (politeiai) described in the Republic, Laws, and Menexenus. In Chapter 1 I demonstrate the horizontal relationships of mutual dependence between rulers and ruled in the politeia of the Republic. It is in the epistemic configuration of the ruled where the economy of reputation is sourced and distributed. I argue that, first, the text explicitly engages with and seeks to correct the common opinions about justice and its relationship to political power and, second, that the philosopher must care about how philosophy appears to the city at large. I end with a consideration of how the Republic attempts to rehabilitate the reputation of philosophy. The images of the cave, the ship, and the bride show how and why philosophy’s bad reputation is contingent rather than necessary. In Chapter 2 I establish the role of reputation in the circumstances described and enacted in the founding of Magnesia, the politeia of the Laws. Through its exhortation to the incoming Dorian colonists to pursue a reputation for virtue, the law code exercises normative force over the disposition of human nature to excessive self-love and also transforms the colonists into Magnesian citizens.
