  • The Tragedy of Reason

    Toward a Platonic Conception of Logos

The very notion of defending Plato may seem strange. Why would a philosopher enshrined for centuries as "classic" need a defense? A defense against whom and what charge? What does it mean to defend an author so long dead? Can he ... En savoir plus

    Toward a Platonic Conception of Logos

    par David Roochnik ...
    Collections series Routledge Library Editions: Idealism

He ... En savoir plus

    par Jan H. Blits, Clifford Orwin, David Roochnik ...
    Collections series Applications of Political Theory
    It had been thought that theCleitophon was a spurious dialogue. Its brevity and the fact that Socrates does not respond to accusations from Cleitophon suggested to scholars that it was only a fragment. However, in the last fifteen years, the complete and authentic dialogue was rediscovered. Upon its discovery, scholars have almost universally agreed that the Cleitophon is the introduction to Plato ... En savoir plus

In their introduction, editors Gregory Recco and Eric Sanday explore the ... En savoir plus
