Proclus: Commentary on Plato's Timaeus: Volume 2, Book 2: Proclus on the Causes of the Cosmos and Its Creation
ISBN: 9780521848718 / Angielski / Twarda / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume of Proclus' commentary on Plato's Timaeus records Proclus' exegesis of Timaeus 27a-31b, in which Plato first discusses preliminary matters that precede his account of the creation of the universe, and then moves to the account of the creation of the universe as a totality. For Proclus this text is a grand opportunity to reflect on the nature of causation as it relates to the physical reality of our cosmos. The commentary deals with many subjects that have been of central interest to philosophers from Plato's time onwards, such as the question whether the cosmos was created in...

The Socratic Paradox and Its Enemies
ISBN: 9780226891736 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Socratic Paradox and Its Enemies, Roslyn Weiss argues that the Socratic paradoxes--no one does wrong willingly, virtue is knowledge, and all the virtues are one--are best understood as Socrates' way of combating sophistic views: that no one is willingly just, those who are just and temperate are ignorant fools, and only some virtues (courage and wisdom) but not others (justice, temperance, and piety) are marks of true excellence.
In Weiss's view, the paradoxes express Socrates' belief that wrongdoing fails to yield the happiness that all people want; it is therefore... In The Socratic Paradox and Its Enemies, Roslyn Weiss argues that the Socratic paradoxes--no one does wrong willingly, virtue is knowledge, and...

Epistemology After Protagoras: Responses to Relativism in Plato, Aristotle, and Democritus
ISBN: 9780199549283 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Relativism, the position that things are for each as they seem to each, was first formulated in Western philosophy by Protagoras, the fifth-century BC Greek orator and teacher. Mi-Kyoung Lee examines the challenge to the possibility of expert knowledge posed by Protagoras, together with responses by the three most important philosophers of the next generation, Plato, Aristotle, and Democritus. In his book Truth, Protagoras made vivid use of two provocative but imperfectly spelled out ideas: first, that we are all 'measures' of the truth and that we are each already capable of determining how...

Commentaries on Plato
ISBN: 9780674031197 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499), the Florentine scholar-philosopher-magus, was largely responsible for the Renaissance revival of Plato. The publication of his Latin translations of the dialogues in 1484 was an intellectual event of the first magnitude, making the Platonic canon accessible to western Europe after the passing of a millennium and establishing Plato as an authority for Renaissance thought. This volume contains Ficino's extended analysis and commentary on the Phaedrus, which he explicates as a meditation on "beauty in all its forms" and a sublime work of theology. In the...

The Handbook (The Encheiridion)
ISBN: 9780872200494 / Angielski / Twarda / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the Introduction: "Stoic philosophy, of which Epictetus (c. a.d. 50 130) is a representative, began as a recognizable movement around 300 b.c. Its founder was Zeno of Cytium (not to be confused with Zeno of Elea, who discovered the famous paradoxes). He was born in Cyprus about 336 b.c., but all of his philosophical activity took place in Athens. For more than 500 years Stoicism was one of the most influential and fruitful philosophical movements in the Graeco-Roman world. The works of the earlier Stoics survive only in fragmentary quotations from other authors, but from the Renaissance...

Theaetetus
ISBN: 9780872201583 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. M. J. Levett's elegant translation of Plato's "Theaetetus," first published in 1928, is here revised by Myles Burnyeat to reflect contemporary standards of accuracy while retaining the style, imagery, and idiomatic speech for which the Levett translation is unparalleled.

Political Authority and Obligation in Aristotle
ISBN: 9780199251506 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is commonly held that Aristotle's views on politics have little relevance to the preoccupations of modern political theory with authority and obligation. Andres Rosler's original study argues that, on the contrary, Aristotle does examine the question of political obligation and its limits, and that contemporary political theorists have much to learn from him. Rosler takes his exploration further, considering the ethical underpinning of Aristotle's political thought, the normativity of his ethical and political theory, and the concepts of political authority and obligation themselves.

Socrates in the Apology: An Essay on Plato's Apology of Socrates
ISBN: 9780872200883 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Reeve's book is an excellent companion to Plato's Apology and a valuable discussion of many of the main issues that arise in the early dialogues. Reeve is an extremely careful reader of texts, and his familiarity with the legal and cultural background of Socrates' trial allows him to correct many common misunderstandings of that event. In addition, he integrates his reading of the apology with a sophisticated discussion of Socrates' philosophy. The writing is clear and succinct, and the research is informed by a thorough acquaintance with the secondary literature. Reeve's book will be...

"Gill's and Ryan's Parmenides is, simply, superb: the Introduction, more than a hundred pages long, is transparently clear, takes the reader meticulously through the arguments, avoids perverseness, and still manages to make sense of the dialogue as a whole; there is a fine selective bibliography; and those parts of the translation I have looked at in detail suggest that it too is very good indeed." --Christopher Rowe, "Phronesis"

On Aristotle "On the Soul 2.1-6"
ISBN: 9780715632352 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In On The Soul 2.1-6, Aristotle differs from Plato in his account of the soul, by tying it to the body. The soul is the life-manifesting capacities that we all have and that distinguish living things, and explain their behaviour. He defines soul and life by reference to the capacities for using food to maintain structure and reproduce, for perceiving and desiring, and for rational thought. Capacities have to be defined by reference to the objects to which they are directed. The five senses, for example, are defined by reference to their objects which are primarily forms like colour....

Praktische Philosophie
ISBN: 9783050028965 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 191 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Der wirkungsmachtige Begriff einer praktischen Philosophie geht auf Aristoteles zuruck. Der Begriff ist ebenso wie sein Gegenbegriff, der der theoretischen Philosophie, ungewohnlich, sogar provokativ. Otfried Hoffe zeigt, dass Ethik als wissenschaftliche und zugleich sittlich engagierte Disziplin zu begreifen ist. Fur diesen Zweck bedarf es einer besonderen Rationalitatsform, einer Grundriss-Wissenschaft."

Above all, they re lucidly adorned, unpretentious, and in translating Plato that counts a good deal. The prose is, as English prose, persuasive, cogent, and as eloquent as it can be without departing from the text. --William Arrowsmith"

Poetics
ISBN: 9781854593337 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Aristotle was a pupil of Plato and author of numerous works on logic, the natural world and human society. He approaches poetry (drama) not as a literary critic but as an analytical philosopher. Poetics is credited as the source of the Aristotelian doctrine of the three unities - time, place and action - but in fact insists on only one of them. Much of its analysis of tragedy is questionable, though the idea of catharsis, of being purged by our experience of tragedy, has taken hold of the modern mind.
