Plato and Aristotle have entered the pantheon of cultural history as the icons of Hellenism, proud antiquity, and Western cultural legacy, having inspired different streams of analytical methodology and having caused the ongoing debate over the purpose of existence, the correct pathway of human inquiry, proper values and systems of rule. Both philosophers, master and his outstanding student, became the shapers of intellectual history, propelling the foundation of the two noted trends in philosophy, known as Platonism and Aristotelianism, on the basis of the major differences in regards to the origins of the world and the social order. The canonical texts by Plato and Aristotle – The Republic and The Laws, and Politics and Constitution of Athens – seem to be the keys to understanding their respective differing schools of thought. In addition, we deal with common feature of both thinkers, i.e. the peculiar "forgetting" of the proto-Hellenic cultural foundation, posed by the, little mentioned in history, legacy of the Phoenicians, the Greek rivals and mentors, despite their transmitted tradition of governance. We deal with these intentionally forgotten signs within the controlled semiotic space, cultural memory and its whims. ; Plato and Aristotle have entered the pantheon of cultural history as the icons of Hellenism, proud antiquity, and Western cultural legacy, having inspired different streams of analytical methodology and having caused the ongoing debate over the purpose of existence, the correct pathway of human inquiry, proper values and systems of rule.

In Plato's Laws is the earliest surviving fully developed cosmological argument. His influence on the philosophy of religion is wide ranging and this book examines both that and the influence of religion on Plato.Central to Plato's thought is the theory of forms, which holds that there exists a realm of forms, perfect ideals of which things in this world are but imperfect copies. In this book, originally published in 1959, Feibleman finds two diverse strands in Plato's philosophy: an idealism centered upon the Forms denying full ontological status to the realm of becoming, a

The following text emerges as a result of accepting the challenge that Jacques Ranciere's issued in one of his texts, where the French philosopher, echoing Jean Borreil's words in L'Artiste Roi, describes the philosophical situation today as the one that takes a stand against Plato. Therefore, the challenge consists of suggesting an interpretation of his political, pedagogical and artistic theory as the places of Ranciere's thought that develop within an implicit debate with and against Plato. ; El siguiente texto surge como consecuencia de aceptar un reto lanzado por el propio Jacques Rancière en unos de sus textos. En dicho texto, el filósofo francés, haciéndose eco de unas palabras de Jean Borreil en L'Artiste Roi, caracteriza la situación filosófica actual como aquella que se desarrolla posicionándose frente a Platón. La tarea que realizaremos en este texto consistirá en abordar la obra de Rancière desde este prisma, preguntándonos en qué medida elige a Platón contra Platón. El reto, por tanto, es proponer una lectura de su teoría política, pedagógica y artística como aquellos lugares del pensamiento rancierano en los que se desarrollan en un debate implícito con y contra Platón.

Eingeführte Reihe. Der neue Band reiht sich in die - gar nicht mal so unüberschaubare - Menge der Platon-Einführungen ein, die schon ein leicht gehobenes Niveau haben, sich also mehr an Studienanfänger und stark interessierte Laien wenden. Nach einer ausführlichen Einführung in das Leben Platons und in sein Gesamtwerk, dessen Überlieferung und seine literarischen Besonderheiten, beschäftigt sich M. Erler gründlich mit wichtigen Themenkomplexen in Platons Philosophie und deren Ausformung in den einzelnen Werken. Dabei werden die einzelnen Dialoge vor allem systemastisch untersucht und miteinander in Beziehung gesetzt. Dadurch ergibt sich ein überaus gründlich anmutender Überblick über Platons Argumentationsweise und thematische Schwerpunkte. Das umfängliche Literaturverzeichnis ist auf dem neuesten Stand. Neben den Titeln von B. Zehnpfennig (BA 8/97) und M. Suhr (zuletzt BA 4/02) als aktuellste Einführung ab mittleren Beständen sinnvoll und möglich. (2)

Raphael Hythlodaeus, the philosopher of Thomas More's Utopia, is generally considered to be an uncompromising and inflexible political idealist. However, Raphael may be more subde and complex than he is usually thought to be. Raphael may be capable of practical, prudent political advice, and may even desire to give such advice in some way, as long as his active participation in politics is not required. If this is true, then his real fault or blindness could be his lack of awareness of how vulnerable he is to the accusation that he is avoiding his public duty and not political idealism.
