Republique, Livre 7

Symposium attempts to find the ultimate manifestation of the love that controls the world, leading to mystic union with eternal & supercosmic beauty. Phaedrus discusses the psychology of love, resulting in the concept of the familiar Platonic "forms" as objects of transcendental emotion.

Le Banquet/Phèdre

The Alcibiades was widely read in antiquity as the very best introduction to Plato. In spite of its ancient reputation, many modern scholars have thought that the Alcibiades is not by Plato and it has therefore lacked a decent commentary. This edition remedies that situation. The notes explain difficulties of linguistic, literary and philosophical detail. The introduction includes a discussion of the dialogue's authenticity, and of the consequences that acknowledging its authenticity has for our conception of Plato's intellectual development.

Alcibiade

Timaeus, one of Plato's acknowledged masterpieces, is an attempt to construct the universe & explain its contents by means of as few axioms as possible. The result is a brilliant, bizarre & surreal cosmos--the product of the rational thinking of a creator god & his astral assistants, & of purely mechanistic causes based on the behavior of the four elements. At times dazzlingly clear, at times intriguingly opaque, this was state-of-the-art science in the middle of the 4th century BCE. The world is presented as a battlefield of forces that are unified only by the will of God, who had to do the best he could with recalcitrant building materials. The unfinished companion piece, Critias, is the foundational text for the story of Atlantis. It tells how a model society became corrupt, & how a lost race of Athenians defeated the aggression of the invading Atlanteans.

Timée/Critias

Socrate est accusé de ne pas croire aux dieux de la cité et de corrompre ainsi la jeunesse. Il argue de son innocence sans le fard et sans le lustre d’une rhétorique pourtant si prisée en son temps. Avec sa désemparante ironie, avec son art consommé de la dialectique, Socrate ne ménage ni ses juges ni l’assistance : il leur démontre sans complaisance leur cécité, morale et politique, comme il s’est efforcé toute sa vie de révéler à ses concitoyens l’incohérence de leurs opinions et de leur conduite. Cette défense de Socrate, telle que nous la rapporte Platon, est une éminente leçon de philosophie, si par philosophie on entend l’accord de soi avec soi, en usant de sa raison, non en vue de vivre ou de fuir la mort, mais en vue de bien vivre.

Apologie De Socrate

The Apology is Plato's version of the speech given by Socrates as he defended himself in 399 BCE against the charges of "corrupting the young, & by not believing in the gods in whom the city believes, but in other daimonia that are novel" (24b). "Apology" here has its earlier meaning (now usually expressed by the word "apologia") of speaking in defense of a cause or of one's beliefs or actions (from the Ancient Greek ἀπολογία). The Apology can be divided into three parts. The 1st is Socrates' own defense of himself & includes the most famous parts of the text, namely his recounting of the Oracle at Delphi & his cross-examination of Meletus. The 2nd part is the verdict. The 3rd part is the sentencing.
