Подзаголовок: The dialectical character of plato`s "republic"
Рейтинг:
Поставляется из: Англии
Описание:

In this slim but elegantly written volume, Roochnik (philosophy, Boston Univ.) treats Platos Republic as a dialogue, which is to say that he is attentive to the fact that The Republic develops and builds as a conversation might, with progressive revisions, qualifications, and attention to the method of the dialectic itself.... Roochniks approach is persuasive and highly recommended to scholars of the classical world. Summing Up: Highly recommended. ? Choice

To the vast literature on Platos Republic comes a new interpretation. In Beautiful City, David Roochnik argues convincingly that Platos masterpiece is misunderstood by modern readers. The work must, he explains, be read dialectically, its parts understood as forming a unified whole. Approached in this way, the text no longer appears to defend an authoritarian and monolithic political system, but rather supplies a qualified defense of democracy and the values of diversity.

Writing in clear and straightforward prose, Roochnik demonstrates how Platos treatment of the city and the soul evolves throughout the dialogue and can be appreciated only by considering the Republic in its entirety. He shows that the views expressed in the early parts of the text do not represent Platos final judgment on these subjects but are in fact dialectical moments intended to be both partial and provisional. Books 5-7 of the Republic are, he maintains, meant to revise and improve upon books 2-4. Similarly, he sees the usually neglected books 8-10 as advancing beyond the thoughts presented in the previous books. Paying particular attention to these later books, Roochnik details, for instance, how the stories of the mistaken regimes, which are often seen as unimportant, are actually crucial in Platos account of the soul.

Beautiful City is certain to be controversial, as the authors insights and opinions will engage and challenge philosophers, classicists, and political theorists.

Описание: What role does food play in the shaping of humanity? Is sharing a good meal with friends and family an experience of life at its best, or is food merely a burdensome necessity? David Roochnik explores these questions by discussing classical works of Greek literature and philosophy in which food and drink play an important role. With thoughts on Homer's The Odyssey , Euripides' Bacchae , Plato's philosopher kings and Dionysian intoxication, Roochnik shows how foregrounding food in philosophy can open up new ways of understanding these thinkers and their approaches to the purpose and meaning of life. The book features philosophical explanation interspersed with reflections from the author on cooking, eating, drinking and sharing meals, making it important reading for students of philosophy, classical studies, and food studies.
