Abstract:

How does Plato conceive the pleasures attendant on the virtuous life? Does he provide a specific account of them ? By reading through key passages from Laws book 5, Republic book 9 and the Philebus, I try to assess the way Plato endeavours to demonstrate that the virtuous life is also happy and thereby pleasant. I investigate to what extent these texts put forward any specificity of the pleasures of being virtuous, and how far the account they provide harmonizes with Plato’s general views about pleasure.

Abstract:

Plato has been read as a virulent opponent of democracy, a common interpretation that, among other things, either ignores or dismisses his perceptive account of the ways democracy can be a mistaken political culture. In Books 8-9 where he designs other cities that are less than his ideal city, Plato tries to show how the whole manner of living and esteeming of a ruling class pervert the preferences and decision-making of everyone living in the city. Attention to this account can reveal Plato not so much rejecting but contesting the democracy he designs-in-theory. In the city he models, freedom and equality are misdirected, its own political culture ultimately betrays itself. I argue that, for Plato, democracy’s failure is due largely though not exclusively to a remnant of oligarchy that remains within it —the underhanded and excessive pursuit of money— which undermine the freedom and equality that define its political culture.

Abstract:

The political teaching of the Republic is rooted in its peculiar use in book 4 of what would later be canonized as the four cardinal virtues. Socrates’ account of four deficient political regimes in Republic 8-9 is framed as an examination of four kinds of vice, and so may be read as a study of the political consequences of a serial loss of these same virtues. Socrates’ colorful description of the inferior regimes and their corresponding human types confirms that Plato has represented generational changes occasioning transitions in regime-types as just such a gradual breakdown of virtue as a whole. The particular virtues provide the main fourfold scheme underlying the seemingly historical logic of political decline, while realistic touches and psychological explanation supplement rather than determine the overall scheme. Close literary attention is necessary to bring out this character of Socrates’ analysis of political degeneration.

Abstract:

A Plato opposed to democracy fills the literature, and while some scholars question whether Plato adequately captures Socrates' possibly favorable views of democracy, Plato himself remains a paragon of elitism. I argue that Plato's response to democracy is far more theoretically interesting than simple disdain for the unenlightened masses. Rather, in Book 8 of the Republic he explores the fundamental tensions of a regime identified with freedom and equality, which he presents as characterized by formlessness, and the epistemological and theoretical problems posed by the absence of forms (eidê). Eidê give structure and identity to regimes and to their citizens; they are necessary for intellection and philosophy, but they are also the grounds for compulsion. Plato's analysis of democracy thus becomes a more serious challenge for democratic theorists than previously recognized.

Abstract:

In this paper, I argue that the two versions of divided line (the first in Book VI and the recalled version in Book VII) create problems that cannot be solved — with or without the hypothesis that the objects belonging to the level of διάνοια on the divided line are intermediates. I also argue that the discussion of arithmetic and calculation does not fit Aristotle’s attribution of intermediates to Plato and provides no support for the claim that Plato had such intermediates in mind when he talked about διάνοια in the Republic. The upshot of my argument is negative: even if Aristotle’s report about Plato and intermediates is correct, there is no evidence for such objects provided in the passages I review from the Republic. If they are to be found in Plato, it will have to be elsewhere that they are found.

Abstract:

This paper explores the tension between two views attributed to Plato: 1) that every person in a just society must fulfil his function, and 2) justice requires philosophical wisdom. It is argued that (2) is not Plato’s view in Republic, and that this can be seen as early as Book II.

Abstract:

AbstractIn Republic 8–9, Socrates describes four main kinds of vicious people, all of whose souls are “ruled” by an element other than reason, and in some of whom reason is said to be “enslaved.” What role does reason play in such souls? In this paper, I argue, based on Republic 8–9 and related passages, and in contrast to some common alternative views, that for Plato the “enslavement” of reason consists in this: instead of determining for itself what is good, reason is forced to desire and pursue as good a goal determined by the soul’s ruler.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTWe suggest that Book Five of theRepublic, where Plato discusses the status of women in the guardian class, is a superb source of Platonic insight. For it is precisely the discussion of women that is most vulnerable to co-optation by the modern vernacular of interest, a vernacular to which theRepublicis vehemently opposed. If students come to appreciate an alternative perspective regarding this most sensitive of modern issues, the full impact of the Socratic approach is available to them.

Abstract:

Much is said in the text-books about Plato’s hankering after answers to moral questions which would offer scientific accuracy and absolute truth. It is to dialectic it seems that Plato turns in the hope of finding such accuracy. The Republic values Platonic dialectic rather higher than mathematical procedures, if only because the mathematician fails to explain the ultimate terms through which he conducts his inquiry. But the epistemologica! status of mathematics is at least as high as that of physical inquiry, whereas it is certainly higher than that of all this-worldly images. The images of the imitative artist were criticised for their distance from Platonic reality in Book X of the Republic, and it is not at all clear that they differ in this respect from the stories which Plato believes should be used at the commencement of his city’s education programme in Republic II (376e ff.). If myths are images, and images are low in epistemological status in the Republic and related middle period dialogues, then why does Plato use myths so prominently in precisely these dialogues?

Abstract:

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO<br>A cadência argumentativa da República de Platão é organizada principalmente em torno de um único recurso formal, a analogia alma-cidade. Para entendermos melhor como ela funciona e que uso Platão poderia esperar dela, procuramos entender, nesta dissertação, os sentidos de proporção e elementos empregados neste contexto, tendo por instrumento a explicitação de uma comparação que o próprio Platão faz por meio de Sócrates: aquela entre o ordenamento das letras em palavras e o de partes que compõem conjuntos unitários (sejam eles indivíduos ou cidades). A partir desta estrutura podemos entender mais qualificadamente as tripartições da cidade e da alma sugeridas pelo diálogo, a teoria do desejo contida nelas e a possível harmonização das nossas motivações conflitantes, que levam a um conceito coletivo de felicidade.<br>The course of the argument in Plato s Republic is primarily organized around a single formal engine, the city-soul analogy. To better understand its procedure and the use that Plato might have expected from it, we will seek to understand, in this dissertation, the meanings of proportion and elements employed therein by making more explicit the comparison that Plato himself makes through Socrates: the one between the order of letters in words and the sets of parts that make up units (either in the case of individuals or cities). From this understanding we can address more throughly the tripartions of the city and the soul the dialogue suggests, the theory of desire contained therein and the possible harmonization of our conflicting motivations, which lead to a collective concept of happiness.

Abstract:

Cette étude porte sur la réfutation (elenchos) dans la République de Platon, et montre que la présence de cette méthode au livre I ne saurait être un signe de la rédaction antérieure de ce livre, ni de la volonté de Platon de critiquer cette forme de la dialectique. Les deux premiers chapitres traitent de l'aspect épistémologique de la question : le premier montre que l'exposition de la dialectique au livre VII inclut l'elenchos, et le second que la défaillance des arguments du livre I doit être interprétée par des motifs pédagogiques, et non par une intention satirique de l'auteur. Les deux derniers chapitres se penchent sur la dimension morale de l'elenchos. Ainsi, le troisième chapitre affirme que Platon nous présente, au livre I, l'elenchos comme un outil efficace d'éducation morale, tandis que le quatrième chapitre cherche à expliquer la critique morale de l'elenchos du livre VII par la différence entre l'éducation dans une cité parfaite et celle dans une société corrompue. La conclusion de l'ouvrage explique le délaissement de la méthode élenctique dans les neuf derniers livres de la République par des raisons autres que par la perte de confiance de Platon en les capacités de cette méthode.<br>This study is about refutation (elenchus) in Plato's Republic. I claim that Socrates' use of this method in Book I cannot be considered evidence that the text belongs to an earlier draft of this book, nor of an implicit critique of the elenctic method by Plato. My first chapter shows that the dialectic described in Book VII actually includes the elenchus. The second chapter studies the arguments of Book I and shows that their many flaws should be interpreted in term of Plato's pedagogical motives, and do not suggest that he intended to write a satire. Chapter three shows that, far from criticizing Socrates' method on moral grounds, Book I actually presents the elenchus as a successful tool for moral education. Chapter four explains the moral criticism of the elenchus in Book VII by contrasting education in a perfect city with Socrates' education of already-corrupted men. I conclude by explaining why the Republic's main books do not make use of refutation.

Abstract:

This new edition provides a thorough reappraisal of one of the most remarkable and controversial sections of the Republic. Book 5's radical proposals for the ideal state include an argument for the essential equality of the sexes; provision for full female participation in the work of the Guardians (including warfare); the abolition of the family for this same ruling class, with a sexual as well as economic system of communism; and a policy of eugenic control. Plato feared that some of this material would arouse amusement in his readers; in fact, parts of Book 5 have been subsequently used to support a charge of totalitarianism against Plato, while other elements have led to description of him as the first feminist. Book 5 also examines the relation between knowledge and belief, and in doing so embarks on the great structure of metaphysical thought which forms the centrepiece of the entire work. All these topics receive fresh and detailed consideration in the introduction and commentary, which are designed to make this important work accessible to a wide range of readers. Greek text with translation, commentary and notes.

Abstract:

This chapter provides the original text and translation of Book X of Plato's the Republic, which has been reprinted from J. Burnet's Platonis Res Publica. It explains how Book X completes the main argument of the Republic by defining justice and addressing the question concerning poetry about human beings. It also looks at the reasons why Socrates regarded the poets as unwholesome and dangerous as they pretend to know many things, but they actually know nothing. This chapter explores the immortality of the soul, which can only be destroyed by what is bad for the person. It discusses how injustice and certain vices are bad for the soul, but it cannot destroy it as the soul is immortal.

Abstract:

This chapter provides the original text and translation of the fifth book of Plato's Republic, which replaces J. Burnet's apparatus criticus with a deliberately minimal apparatus. It looks at passages where Burnet diverges from the main messages, printed conjectures, and alternative readings of some note. It also checks Burnet's apparatus against other sources of information, and in a few places have supplemented it. For the readings of minor manuscripts, this chapter refers to Borer's monograph. It emphasizes that the translation is intended as a reasonably close guide to the sense of the Greek and balances it against the aim of providing a version that is tolerably readable.

Abstract:

This chapter introduces Book X of the Republic, which is the largest and greatest work written by Plato. It talks about the nature of justice as the major theme of the Republic, which comes to be interpreted as the central value in both the unity of human societies and the harmony of individual souls. It also discusses how Book X has sometimes been judged an 'after thought' or later addition to the rest of the Republic and how its status may be regarded as that of a coda that completes the larger design. This chapter looks at the argument of Book X, which unfolds in stages that reflect the nature of exploratory dialectic. It also describes major elements of Book X, which includes a renewed challenge to the credentials and effects of poetry, an argument for the immortality of the soul, and a mythical vision of the realization of justice.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the fifth book of Plato's Republic as a philosophical enquiry into the nature of justice and analyses its theme into a peculiarly complex development of arguments, ideas and images. It explains how justice is given the status of the master-virtue in both individual souls and of human communities. It also looks at large parts of the fifth book that are framed as an attempt to explore the relationship between the two levels of ethical analysis: psychological and political. The chapter begins with some typically Platonic touches of dramatic detail, such as a tug at the shoulder of Adeimantus's cloak and some whispered words between him and Polemarchus. It also mentions Socrates speaking of the realms of 'pure', immutable, and transcendent reality.

Abstract:

This chapter assesses the explanations on Book X of Plato's the Republic. It talks about Socrates's suggestion on the examination of justice, which should be conducted first in terms of the city and only subsequently of the individual. It also discusses the “city” as a kind of allegory of the constitution of the just man's soul and Platonic use of political imagery for ethical and psychological ideas. This chapter looks at the possibility of an admissible and non-mimetic type of poetry and reviews the implicit qualification that has sometimes been emphasized by defenders of Plato. It investigates Socrates's intimacy that indicates his criticisms of poetry and art that strike at central and powerful elements in Greek or Athenian culture.
