This book opens by providing the historical context of Plato’s engagement with education, including an overview of Plato’s life as student and educator. The author organizes his discussion of education in the Platonic Corpus around Plato’s images, both the familiar – the cave, the gadfly, the torpedo fish, and the midwife – and the less familiar – the intellectual aviary, the wax tablet, and the kindled fire. These educational images reveal that, for Plato, philosophizing is inextricably linked to learning; that is, philosophy is fundamentally an educational endeavor. The book concludes by exploring Plato’s legacy in education, discussing the use of the “Socratic method” in schools and the Academy’s foundational place in the history of higher education. The characters in Plato’s dialogues often debate – sometimes with great passion – the purpose of education and the nature of learning. The claims about education in the Platonic corpus are so provocative, nuanced, insightful, and controversial that educational philosophers have reckoned with them for millennia. .

Private James Herbert (Herb) Gibson was 26 years old when he volunteered for service in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in the First World War. Born near Perth, Ontario and descended from Scottish settlers, Gibson enlisted against his father's wishes because he viewed the war as justified and felt he needed to do his part. "Without fear and with a manly heart" collects his personal letters and diaries as well as those sent to him by family and friends. They reveal his beliefs, hopes, realizations, and tragedies through an account of his contribution to the war. The letters trace Gibson's wartime service from 1916 to 1919 from his enlistment and training with the 130th (Lanark and Renfrew) Battalion to his service on the Western Front with the 75th Battalion. Gibson was wounded twice, first near Vimy during the Gas Raid of March 1917 and again more seriously during a night patrol in July 1918 which ended his war. He also had to deal with tragedy on the home front from afar. Gibson's religious beliefs significantly influenced and sustained him through his darkest hours. He felt himself a gentle man caught up "on an errand the full consequences of which we did not realize."

Dans l'herméneutique de Gadamer, l'interprétation est indissociable de la préoccupation plus large de se frayer un chemin dans la vie. Dans cet ouvrage, James Risser s'appuie sur cette idée de la juxtaposition de la vie humaine et de l'acte de comprendre en remontant l'herméneutique à l'expérience fondamentale de la philosophie telle que définie par Platon. Pour Risser, Platon fournit des ressources pour de nouvelles directions en herméneutique et de nouvelles possibilités pour « la vie de la compréhension » et « la compréhension de la vie ». Risser place Gadamer en dialogue avec Platon, avec la question de la mémoire comme point central conceptuel. Il développe des thèmes relevant de l'herméneutique tels que la récupération comme question de convalescence, l'exil comme aventure vers l'étranger, la formation à soi-même et à la vie avec les autres, l'expérience du langage dans l'herméneutique et la relation entre parler et écrire.

The Dialectic of Essence offers a systematic new account of Plato's metaphysics. Allan Silverman argues that the best way to make sense of the metaphysics as a whole is to examine carefully what Plato says about ousia (essence) from the Meno through the middle period dialogues, the Phaedo and the Republic, and into several late dialogues including the Parmenides, the Sophist, the Philebus, and the Timaeus. This book focuses on three fundamental facets of the metaphysics: the theory of Forms; the nature of particulars; and Plato's understanding of the nature of metaphysical inquiry. Silverman seeks to show how Plato conceives of "Being" as a unique way in which an essence is related to a Form. Conversely, partaking ("having") is the way in which a material particular is related to its properties: Particulars, thus, in an important sense lack essence. Additionally, the author closely analyzes Plato's idea that the relation between Forms and particulars is mediated by form-copies. Even when some late dialogues provide a richer account of particulars, Silverman maintains that particulars are still denied essence. Indeed, with the Timaeus's introduction of the receptacle, there are no particulars of the traditional variety. This book cogently demonstrates that when we understand that Plato's concern with essence lies at the root of his metaphysics, we are better equipped to find our way through the labyrinth of his dialogues and to better appreciate how they form a coherent theory.

This volume is dedicated to an intriguing Platonic work, the Laws. Probably the last dialogue Plato wrote, the Laws represents the philosopher's most fully developed views on many crucial questions that he had raised in earlier works. Yet it remains a largely unread and underexplored dialogue. Abounding in unique and valuable references to dance and music, customs and norms, the Laws seems to suggest a comprehensive model of culture for the entire polis - something unparalleled in Plato. This exceptionally rich discussion of cultural matters in the Laws requires the scrutiny of scholars whose expertise resides beyond the boundaries of pure philosophical inquiry. The volume offers contributions by fourteen scholars who work in the broader areas of literary, cultural and performance studies.

A. G. Long presents a new account of the importance of conversation in Plato's philosophy. He provides close studies of eight dialogues, including some of Plato's most famous works and traces the emergence of internal dialogue or self-questioning as an alternative to the Socratic conversation from which Plato starts.

Der siebte Brief Platons ist der berühmteste Brief der philosophischen Weltliteratur. In ihm skizziert Platon, nur wenige Jahre vor seinem Tod (347 v. Chr.), Stationen seines Lebens und gibt einen Grundriss seiner Philosophie. Dies ist die einzige uns überlieferte Äußerung Platons über sich selbst und sein Philosophieren. Der sogenannte philosophische Exkurs des Briefes bringt die konstituierenden Elemente seines philosophischen Denkens komprimiert zur Darstellung. Vor dem Hintergrund der neuesten Forschung zum Siebten Brief geht die vorliegende Untersuchung von einem bisher übersehenen Ansatz aus. Denn insoweit die Welt der Erscheinung Abbild der Ideen ist, ist die Welt der Erscheinung Zeichen: Zeichen der Ideen. Da die Ideenlehre auch im Siebten Brief von axiomatischer Gültigkeit ist und hier der Begriff des Zeichens eine Schlüsselfunktion hat, unternimmt die vorliegende Untersuchung die Interpretation zum ersten Male unter dem Gesichtspunkt von Platons eigener Zeichentheorie, seiner Semiotik. Obwohl die semiotische Interpretation gemäß Platons eigener Denkvoraussetzung naheliegt, ist eine solche bisher in der Platonforschung in Bezug auf den Siebten Brief bislang nicht zur Anwendung gebracht worden.

Ce volume s’occupe du Lexique platonicien de Timée le Sophiste, auteur qui a appartenu à la deuxième sophistique. Une introduction de Jonathan Barnes présente l’histoire des manuscrits de ce lexique et de ses éditions, ainsi qu’une analyse de sa structure et une évaluation de son importance pour la lexicographie ancienne et pour les études platoniciennes. La première partie du livre présente une nouvelle édition du texte avec une traduction française et quatre apparats, des scolies du manuscrit, des loci platonici , des loci similes , et l’apparat critique. La deuxième partie du livre présente un commentaire fourni, qui considère la relation du lexique avec les lexiques atticistes et byzantins, les scolies et les commentaires platoniciens, ainsi que les textes philosophiques. This book is an edition of the Lexicon to Plato written by Timaeus the Sophist. An Introduction by Jonathan Barnes discusses the history of the manuscripts and editions of the Lexicon , analyses the structure and nature of the work, sites it in the history of ancient lexicography, and attempts to assess its virtues and its importance. The first part of the book contains a new edition of the Greek text, faced by a French translation and equipped with four apparatuses. The second part of the book is the commentary: it is primarily concerned to connect the entries of the Lexicon to appropriate passages in Plato, to trace the links between Timaeus and the ancient tradition of Platonic scholarship, and to locate the Lexicon in thevoluminous and complex history of ancient lexicography.

Plato's dialogues are usually understood as simple examples of philosophy in action. In this book Professor Rowe treats them rather as literary-philosophical artefacts, shaped by Plato's desire to persuade his readers to exchange their view of life and the universe for a different view which, from their present perspective, they will barely begin to comprehend. What emerges is a radically new Plato: a Socratic throughout, who even in the late dialogues is still essentially the Plato (and the Socrates) of the Apology and the so-called 'Socratic' dialogues. This book aims to understand Plato both as a philosopher and as a writer, on the assumption that neither of these aspects of the dialogues can be understood without the other. The argument of the book is closely based in Plato's text, but should be accessible to any serious reader of Plato, whether professional philosopher, classicist, or student.
