    Диалоги об Атлантиде

    Платон

    Что мы знаем об Атлантиде? И откуда вообще мы о ней узнали? Откуда возникла эта легенда и кто впервые рассказал о могущественном островном государстве, описал его особенности и попытку завоевать древнее государство афинян? Диалоги великого философа Платона «Тимей» и «Критий» – это единственный литературный источник, подробно рассказывающий нам об этом острове, где располагалось «удивительное по величине и могуществу царство» атлантов, погрязших в роскоши, алчности и гордыне и за это ввергнутых богами в морскую пучину. В состав предлагаемого сборника входят также диалоги, затрагивающие тему человеческих добродетелей. В формате PDF A4 сохранен издательский макет книги.

    Диалоги. Апология Сократа

    Платон

    «Апология Сократа» – это первый сохранившийся текст Платона, написанный вскоре после суда над Сократом и единственное его произведение, написанное не в форме диалога. Так почему же Афинское государство убило Сократа? Сократа, про которого дельфийская пифия сказала, что нет людей мудрее его. Сократа, который вошел в историю своим «Я знаю, что ничего не знаю». Сократа, который закончил свою речь на суде словами: «Но уже пора идти, мне – чтобы умереть, вам – чтобы жить, а что из этого лучше, никому неведомо, кроме бога». Все остальные произведения Платона имеют форму диалогов, в которых методом вопросов и ответов проясняются понятия долга и красоты, знания и невежества, истины и лжи, добра и зла. В сборник включены диалоги «Евтифрон», «Критон», «Федон», посвященные последним дням Сократа, а также «Пир» и «Федр». В формате PDF A4 сохранен издательский макет книги.

    Протагор

    Платон

    Встречаются как-то Сократ, Гиппократ, Протагор, Каллий, сын Гиппоника, Продик Кеосский и другие известнейшие граждане Афин и начинают вести диалог. Платон же с удивительной точностью исторического свидетеля описывает случившуюся встречу в доме богача Каллия и погружает нас в атмосферу города того времени. Действие диалога происходит до начала Пелопоннесской войны (432 г.) и в нем отлично демонстрируются наличие расхождений в философских убеждениях в IV веке до н. э. Помимо прочего мы узнаем глубже критический взгляд Сократа на релятивизм и софистику, которая усилиями таких ораторов, как Протагор, провозглашала человека мерилом всех вещей.

    Законы

    Платон

    Платон Афинский – древнегреческий философ-идеалист, ученик Сократа, учитель Аристотеля. Именно с Платона философия формируется как система знания. Что такое законы и почему их нужно выполнять? Зачем они нужны и на каких философских учениях должны быть основаны? Кому, по мнению Платона, предстоит воплотить эти законы и стать идеальным правителем? И каков он, идеальный правитель? Устами своих героев на эти и другие вопросы отвечает Платон в диалогах «Софист», «Политик», «Законы» и «Послезаконие». В формате a4.pdf сохранен издательский макет.

    Charmides

    Платон

    The Charmides (Greek: Χαρμίδης) is a dialogue of Plato, in which Socrates engages a handsome and popular boy in a conversation about the meaning of sophrosyne, a Greek word usually translated into English as «temperance», «self-control», or «restraint». As is typical with Platonic early dialogues, the two never arrive at a completely satisfactory definition, but the discussion nevertheless raises many important points. Famous dialogues of Plato – Early: Apology, Charmides, Crito, Euthyphro, Hippias MinorIon, Laches, Lysis; Transitional and middle: Cratylus, Euthydemus, Gorgias, Menexenus, Meno, Phaedo, Protagoras, Symposium; Later middle: Parmenides, Phaedrus, Republic, Theaetetus; Late: Critias, Laws, Philebus, Sophist, Statesman, Timaeus.

    The Republic

    Платон

    he Republic (Greek: Πολιτεία, Politeia; Latin: Res Publica) is a Socratic dialogue, written by Plato around 375 BC, concerning justice (δικαιοσύνη), the order and character of the just city-state, and the just man. It is Plato's best-known work, and has proven to be one of the world's most influential works of philosophy and political theory, both intellectually and historically. In the dialogue, Socrates talks with various Athenians and foreigners about the meaning of justice and whether the just man is happier than the unjust man. They consider the natures of existing regimes and then propose a series of different, hypothetical cities in comparison, culminating in Kallipolis (Καλλίπολις), a city-state ruled by a philosopher king. They also discuss the theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the role of the philosopher and of poetry in society. The dialogue's setting seems to be during the Peloponnesian War. The Republic is generally placed in the middle period of Plato's dialogues—that is, it is believed to be written after the early period dialogues but before the late period dialogues. However, the distinction of this group from the early dialogues is not as clear as the distinction of the late dialogues from all the others. Nonetheless, Ritter, Arnim, and Baron—with their separate methodologies—all agreed that the Republic was well distinguished, along with Parmenides, Phaedrus and Theaetetus.

    The Apology of Socrates

    Платон

    The Apology of Socrates was written by Plato. In fact, it’s a defensive speech of Socrates that he said in a court noted down by Plato. The main subject of the speech is a problem of the evil. Socrates insists that neither death nor death sentence is evil. We shouldn’t be afraid of the death because we don’t know anything about it. Socrates proved that the death shouldn’t be taken as the evil with the following dilemma: the death is either a peace or a transit from this life to the next. Both can’t be called evil. Consequently, the death shouldn’t be treated as evil.

    The Allegory of the Cave

    Платон

    The Allegory of the Cave, or Plato's Cave, was presented by the Greek philosopher Plato in his work Republic (514a–520a) to compare «the effect of education (παιδεία) and the lack of it on our nature». It is written as a dialogue between Plato's brother Glaucon and his mentor Socrates, narrated by the latter. The allegory is presented after the analogy of the sun (508b–509c) and the analogy of the divided line (509d–511e). All three are characterized in relation to dialectic at the end of Books VII and VIII (531d–534e). Plato has Socrates describe a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them, and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality.

    Symposium

    Платон

    The Symposium (Ancient Greek: Συμπόσιον, Sympósion [sympósi̯on]) is a philosophical text by Plato dated c. 385–370 BC. It depicts a friendly contest of extemporaneous speeches given by a group of notable men attending a banquet. The men include the philosopher Socrates, the general and political figure Alcibiades, and the comic playwright Aristophanes. The speeches are to be given in praise of Eros, the god of love and desire. In the Symposium, Eros is recognized both as erotic love and as a phenomenon capable of inspiring courage, valor, great deeds and works, and vanquishing man's natural fear of death. It is seen as transcending its earthly origins and attaining spiritual heights. This extraordinary elevation of the concept of love raises a question of whether some of the most extreme extents of meaning might be intended as humor or farce. Eros is almost always translated as «love», and the English word has its own varieties and ambiguities that provide additional challenges to the effort to understand the Eros of ancient Athens. The event depicted in the Symposium is a banquet attended by a group of men, who have come to the symposium, which was, in ancient Greece, a traditional part of the same banquet that took place after the meal, when drinking for pleasure was accompanied by music, dancing, recitals, or conversation. The setting means that the participants will be drinking wine, meaning that the men might be induced to say things they wouldn't say elsewhere or when sober. They might speak more frankly, or take more risks, or else be prone to hubris—they might even be inspired to make speeches that are particularly heartfelt and noble. The host has challenged the men to deliver, each, in turn, an encomium—a speech in praise of Love (Eros). Though other participants comply with this challenge, Socrates notably refuses to participate in such an act of praise and instead takes a very different approach to the topic. The party takes place at the house of the tragedian Agathon in Athens. This dialogue is one of Plato's major works, and is appreciated for both its philosophical content and its literary qualities.

    Plato: Five Dialogues: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Phaedo

    Платон

    Plato was a philosopher in Classical Greece and the founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. He is widely considered the most pivotal figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition. Unlike nearly all of Plato's philosophical contemporaries, Plato's entire body of work is believed to have survived intact for over 2,400 years. The works which are most often assigned to Plato's early years are all considered to be Socratic dialogues, written from 399 to 387. Plato's Middle dialogues were writtten from 387 to 361 and Plato's latter dialogues were written in the period between 361 and his death in 347. This anthology volume includes Five Dialogues of Plato; Euthyphro – Apology – Crito – Phaedo – Meno. Apology, Crito, and Phaedo are dialogues in which Plato details the Philosopher Socrates' last days.
