Protagoras de Plato

Protagoras

Autor Plato Traducere de Benjamin Jowett
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 oct 2018
Protagoras is a lively and often humorous look at virtue, knowledge, and the best means of acquiring them. Ostensibly a debate between Socrates and a sophist opponent over the education of a young man, the dialogue also concerns the nature of the contest itself. As told in retrospect by a somewhat frustrated Socrates, he is asked by Hippocrates to broker an introduction to Protagoras, a famous sophist with whom the young man wants to study. Socrates then begins a public debate with Protagoras in order to see what the sophist has to teach. The two men examine the nature of virtue - whether it can be taught, and whether all virtues are connected - but end up in conflict over their styles of discourse. Plato contrasts the crowd-pleasing oratory of Protagoras with the difficult and unglamorous questioning used by Socrates. The multiple layers of conflict and discussion make Protagorus one of Plato's most dramatically satisfying works, and an excellent starting point for those new to his philosophy.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'You are going to entrust your soul to the care of a sophist. But I should be surprised if you even know what a sophist is.'In the fifth century BC professional educators, the sophists, travelled the Greek world claiming to teach success in public and private life. In this dialogue Plato shows the pretensions of the leading sophist, Protagoras, challenged by the critical arguments of Socrates. From criticism of the educational aims and methods of the sophists the dialogue broadens out to consider the nature of the good life, and the role of pleasure and intellect in the context of that life.The dialogue combines subtlety of argument with intricacy of dramatic construction and brilliant characterization. This translation achieves both precision and colloquial naturalness while the notes and introduction set the arguments in their historical and philosophical context. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Notă biografică

Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher born in Athens during the Classical period in Ancient Greece. In Athens, Plato founded the Academy, a philosophical school where he taught the philosophical doctrines that would later become known as Platonism. Plato (or Platon) was a pen name derived, apparently, from the nickname given to him by his wrestling coach - allegedly a reference to his physical broadness. According to Alexander of Miletus quoted by Diogenes of Sinope his actual name was Aristocles, son of Ariston, of the deme Collytus (Collytus being a district of Athens).Plato was an innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms in philosophy. He raised problems for what later became all the major areas of both theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy. His most famous contribution is the Theory of forms, which has been interpreted as advancing a solution to what is now known as the problem of universals. He is also the namesake of Platonic love and the Platonic solids.His own most decisive philosophical influences are usually thought to have been, along with Socrates, the pre-Socratics Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Parmenides, although few of his predecessors' works remain extant and much of what we know about these figures today derives from Plato himself.[a]Along with his teacher, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle, Plato is a central figure in the history of philosophy.[b] Unlike the work of nearly all of his contemporaries, Plato's entire body of work is believed to have survived intact for over 2,400 years.[6] Although their popularity has fluctuated, Plato's works have consistently been read and studied. Through Neoplatonism Plato also greatly influenced both Christian and Islamic philosophy (through e.g. Al-Farabi). In modern times, Alfred North Whitehead famously said: "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato.
