Abstract:
The authors of the collective monograph set themselves the goal of understanding the nature of the absolute in law, through which its value dimension is revealed. In the history of philosophical and legal thought, this understanding of the essence of law was mainly realized through its correlation with the highest moral idea, primarily in the forms of the idea of absolute goodness and the idea of justice. From this point of view, the teachings of Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Marsilius of Padua, Jean Bodin, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Niccolo Machiavelli, Hugo Grotius, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Solo

Abstract:
I defend four main theses: (1) Knowledge, in Plato’s vocabulary, is a kind of conceptual competence, involving ‘knowing what it is’ about something like virtue or justice; (2) There is a corresponding special meaning of the verb ‘is’ that occurs in the expression ‘knowing what it is’, which is key to understanding what Plato means by claiming that Forms have a superior kind of being; (3) When one knows ‘what it is’ about such concepts, one knows neither a proposition, nor set of propositions, nor an object, but something like a type.

Abstract:
It is a familiar contrast between Plato and Aristotle that Plato identifies pleasure with a process of replenishment, Aristotle with an activity (or quality of an activity) that contains its end within itself. It complicates the contrast that the Philebus does not actually insist on any single account, whereas the Rhetoric invokes the Platonic conception, but then extends it indefinitely. Aristotle’s discussions of pleasure in the Ethics can be interpreted as being of a piece, and as applying to a wide range of perceptions and activities. However, a distinction between being glad to be acting

Scientism is expounded. Then its two major challenges are stated and responses to them sketched. The first challenge is to its epistemology of mathematics-how we know the necessary truths of mathematics. The second challenge is to the very coherence of its eliminativist account of cognition. The first of these problems is likely to be taken more seriously by philosophers than by other advocates of scientism. It is a problem that has absorbed philosophers since Plato and on which little progress has been made. The second is often unnoticed, even among those who endorse scientism, since they don

(2) Plato does not suppose that education, properly understood, should have as its primary aim putting knowledge into souls that do not already have it.

Mainly, it underscores tensions between the goals of public unity, political stability, and institutional endurance in relation to pluralism, contention, and change.

Plato’s Moral Psychology is concerned with Plato’s account of the soul insofar as it bears on our living well or badly, virtuously or viciously. The core of Plato’s moral psychology is his account of human motivation, and PMP argues that throughout the dialogues Plato maintains that human beings have a natural desire for our own good, and that actions and conditions contrary to this desire are involuntary (from which follows the ‘Socratic paradox’ that wrongdoing is involuntary). Our natural desire for our own good may be manifested in different ways: by our pursuit of what we calculate is bes

Of all the long-standing debates that raise doubts about progress in philosophy, that concerning the nature of representation in the arts stands out. For Plato's analysis, charitably interpreted and amplified, holds up remarkably well in the face of strong criticism earlier in this century and yet more recent revisions. And the question that he raised about the value of representation as he analysed it, while less prominent as a philosophical topic, proves still difficult to answer, although here it is much clearer that Plato is wrong in the negative answer he gave.

This inquiry attempts to probe the essence of politics in-itself, something that has been singularly discerned by Plato in Republic, grounded in his theory of universal forms and gradually but fully developed through a consideration of the elements of the City in Speech.

Chapter 13 takes as its theme the deep roots in the Platonic tradition of Coleridge’s view of contemplation as the experience of nóēsis, for Plato the highest form of epistēmē, being the knowledge of ‘Ideas’ beyond diánoia (discursive and conceptual understanding). Coleridge’s theory of the symbol only makes sense within this metaphysical-theological context. Plotinus’s decisive contribution within Coleridge’s metaphysics is often overlooked. Contemplation, for Plotinus, is connected to Gift. Contemplation is always a return to the ‘Giving’ of the One (rooted in Plato’s ‘unbegrudging’ Goodness

The latter is required for knowing ‘what it is’ in respect of types or concepts, which is the subject of the quest. Because Theaetetus does not understand that recognizing tokens differs from grasping types, he is unable to solve the problem that ensues from his attempts to reduce the episteme of types to some subset of the doxa of tokens.

This tradition eventually gave rise to modern science.

It is the laws structuring the rulers’ education which are the most basic to the existence of the ideal state, while legislation that we would consider fundamental, such as courts, is treated as more minor.
