politicus.txt 360 BC STATESMAN by Plato translated by Benjamin Jowett STATESMAN PERSONS OF THE DIALOGUE: THEODORUS; SOCRATES; THE ELEATIC STRANGER; THE YOUNGER SOCRATES Socrates. But the statesman is not a tender of individuals-not like the driver or groom of a single ox or horse; he is rather to be compared with the keeper of a drove of horses or oxen. I mean to say that when we were asked about a king and statesman of the present; and generation, we told of a shepherd of a human flock who belonged to the other cycle, and of one who was a god when he ought to have been a man; and this a great error. philosophy.eserver.org /plato/politicus.txt   (14415 words)

Notes for Colloquia familiaria: a selection Maecenas was a famous statesman, courtier, and patron of literature of the Augustan Age in Rome. Erasmus might argue that, because he is using the dialogue form, it is hard to pin this particular opinion on him because his characters are arguing both sides of the case. Eubulus is referring to the practice of people who, upon joining an order, give up their everyday clothes to don monastic robes both as an outward sign of commitment to their new life, and in order to identify themselves with a certain order. www.stoa.org /colloquia/index-notes.html   (1333 words)

The Benardete Archive A continuation of the prior course, where the Sophist’s companion dialogue Politicus, or Statesman, is considered. In this dialogue a student of Parmenides attempts to determine the being of Socrates in relation, on the one hand, to the contemporary sophists and, on the other, to all philosophers prior to Socrates. It is thus to be hoped that the two dialogues will illuminate each other, and unravel the ontological ground of politics and political foreground of ontology. www.benardetearchive.org /NScourses_print.html   (1708 words)

The Matter of Timaeus Archytas was also a statesman familiar with the beliefs and ways of many of the ancient people in this cosmopolitan part of the ancient world and from the dialogue between these two minds; Plato created the fabled character Timaeus. In the Socratic era of the Greek empire, a dialogue occurred between Plato and a Sicilian philosopher named Archtyas. Timaeus and the three states of being end the production by climbing onto a large three-dimensional geometric-shaped trapeze, and end high above the stage in a spinning pinwheel of bodies, arms, and legs. www.anunnaki.org /productions/timaeus.php   (523 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Republic (Oxford World's Classics): Books I would also recommend reading it in conjunction with some of Plato's other dialogues, the Statesman being particularly interest to see how Plato's approach to politics and wider society changes over the years. It is unclear whether Plato was aware of how self-serving his dialogue would seem, since his argument leads to the `natural' conclusion that the only ones who could really be in charge in such an ideal city would be the philosophers. Plato's 'Republic' is one of the most important works of ancient Greek philosophy, and one of the foundation pieces of political science and political philosophy of that and subsequent ages. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/0192833707   (1693 words)

indy.txt Thus a new myth was born, springing from the old myth: the Lost Dialogue of Plato. There is no historical record for Timaeus, but he seems to have been based on Archytas of Tarentum, a philosopher and statesman whom Plato once met.) Socrates is troubled. For Plato structured his dialogue into three books, each identified by their keynote speaker - first _Timaeus_, then _Critias_, and finally _Hermocrates_. lucasfic.mixnmojo.com /misc/indy.txt   (3899 words)

Straussian.net - Classical Resources Yet there are only three dialogues which indicate by their very titles that they are devoted to political philosophy: the Republic, the Statesman, and the Laws. Strictly, there is then no Platonic teaching; at most there is the teaching of the men who are the chief characters in his dialogues. But whereas Plato's writings are, so to speak, entirely Socratic, Xenophon's four Socratic writings (Memorabilia, Oeconomicus, Symposium, and Apology of Socrates) fill only one of the five volumes of the complete edition of his works. www2.bc.edu /~wilsonop/classical.html   (3899 words)

LaRouche Takes Battle To Defeat Synarchism to Mexico Nearly half the participants travelled by bus and car from as far away as Mexico City and the northwestern state of Sonora—drives of 12 and 20 hours, respectively—to engage in a lively, three-hour dialogue with the statesman and philosopher. After his press conference, LaRouche met with about 110 youth organized by the LaRouche Youth Movement of Mexico. "This approach to U.S.-Mexican relations, LaRouche noted, will furthermore undermine the efforts of the Synarchists and others, who are currently preparing for 'Hispanic' terrorism against the U.S., and simultaneous 'white ethnic' terrorism against Hispanics, as in the case of the notorious Harvard University racist, Samuel Huntington." www.larouchepub.com /other/2004/3113_lar_mexico.html   (677 words)

Hellenistic Astrology [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] Throughout the myths in this dialogue and others, he introduced the notion of a 'cosmos' or a rational order and ontological hierarchy of the spheres of heavenly beings, elements, daimons, and earthly inhabitants. Plato also expresses world ages, particularly in the Statesman or Politicus (269d-274d). Plutarch considered astrologers' claims that cities are subject to fate accessible by a chart cast for the beginning of their foundation to be extravagant. www.iep.utm.edu /a/astr-hel.htm   (19003 words)

As the national reconciliation conference was opened on 17 March, the exiled opposition, represented by the Coalition of Pro-Dialogue Parties and the Patriotic Front for Dialogue and National Reconciliation, called for a boycott. Congolese President Denis Sassou Nguesso's government insists on organising the dialogue on its own in Brazzaville, co-chaired by mediator Omar Bongo, while the exiled opposition claims the Brazzaville government does not have the right to convene the dialogue. www.afrol.com /News2001/cob003_bongo_mediate.htm   (604 words)

The First Alcibiades or Alcibiades I is a dialogue ascribed to Plato (Ancient Athenian philosopher; pupil of Socrates; teacher of Aristotle (428-347 BC)), but his authorship is doubtful.

Kancelaria Prezydenta RP The activities of the Forum promoting debates on the global issues and problems of our time are the best tribute to Chancellor Bruno Kreisky - an Austrian statesman whose immense contribution to international peace, human rights, tolerance and dialogue of cultures is widely known and admired.

Names and Nature in Plato's Cratylus - Rachel Barney - Microsoft Reader eBook The key to understanding this argument is to see that the Cratylus, Plato's most extended discussion of language, is essentially a normative inquiry, to be interpreted alongside his ethical and political works: it seeks to determine what deserves the name 'name', much as the Statesman determines who should count as a statesman. By the end of the dialogue, however, Plato's project turns out to have a paradoxical and pessimistic result: for names are found to be a kind of imitation, and as such incapable of real correctness. This study offers a comprehensive new interpretation of one of Plato's most enigmatic and controversial dialogues, the Cratylus, showing it to present a complex and unified argument for a positive conclusion. www.ebookmall.com /ebook/81981-ebook.htm   (1731 words)

Special Report A possible statesman whose alliance is also currently being sought is Metn MP Nasib Lahoud, the most reasonable and influential Maronite leader of his generation, who has enough legitimacy to stand up for his sect, and enough moderation to conduct dialogue with Syria. Having cleared the stage of troublemakers, the Syrian regime began grooming more moderate Christian figures for leadership, and promoted Elias Hrawi, a seasoned Lebanese statesman, to the presidency in 1991. Unlike Hrawi, whose political career dated back to the 1960s, Lahoud was a newcomer to the scene, and could play only by Syria’s rules—thereby losing any form of legitimacy within radical Christian circles. www.wrmea.com /archives/may-june01/0105021.html   (2284 words)

Pundits question relevancy of Asian values Many who gathered at Ayudhya in a seminar held to commemorate the centenary of the late Pridi Banomyong, senior statesman and pioneer of Thai democracyentitled, "Social Justice, Democracy and Alternative Politics: An Asian-European Dialogue" last week gave the subject a pretty thorough going-over. The seminar was organised by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Foundation (FES), the Spirit in Education Movement (SEM) and Thammasat University to commemorate the centenary of the late Pridi Banomyong, senior statesman and pioneer of Thai democracy. AFTER a decade which has seen economic boom and bust followed by a slow turnaround in Asia, one might wonder if the concept of "Asian values" is still relevant. www.singapore-window.org /sw00/000514na.htm   (849 words)

Article Al Sharpton Just Won't Let Racial Wounds Heal Sharpton might behave if he were indeed the statesman his Washington allies pretend he is. If he had even a scintilla of interest in actually improving policecommunity affairs, he would seize this moment to restart the dialogue between the NYPD and minority New Yorkers. Sharpton's transformation from racial agitator to "statesman" appears complete. Sharpton's highplaced admirers are indifferent to his history of racial rabble rousing and character assassination (exemplified by the neverrepudiated Tawana Brawley hoax), they should visit New York to see what their ambassador for minority rights is doing for racial harmony and policecommunity relations there. www.manhattan-institute.org /html/_wsj-al_sharpton.htm   (913 words)

Untitled Document In the excerpt, which probably formed the conclusion to the dialogue, Cicero describes his vision of the cosmos and the rewards of immortality that the good statesman can expect after death. The Dream of Scipio was excerpted in late antiquity from Cicero's De Republica, a dialogue in six books which now only survives in fragmentary form. Cicero's essay On Friendship ( Laelius de amicitia) is of interest as much for the light it sheds on Roman society as for its embodiment of ancient philosophical views on the subjects of friendship. www.arisandphillips.com /ap/Cicero.Friend.html   (913 words)

Plato, Statesman: Reading Guide This dialogue is referred to as Pol., short for Politicus, Latin for 'statesman'.

Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius Boethius' best-known work is the "Consolations of Philosophy" written during his imprisonment -- "by far the most interesting example of prison literature the world has ever seen." It is a dialogue between Philosophy and Boethius, in which the Queen of Sciences strives to console the fallen statesman. Perhaps the medieval student of Boethius understood better than we do that a strictly formal dialogue on the consolation of philosophy should adhere rigorously to the realm of "natural truth" and leave out of consideration the lesson to be derived from the moral maxims of Christianity -- "supernatural truth". The local cult of Boethius at Pavia was sanctioned when, in 1883, the Sacred Congregation of Rites confirmed the custom prevailing in that diocese of honouring St. Severinus Boethius, on the 23rd of October. catholicity.com /encyclopedia/b/boethius,anicius_manlius_severinus.html   (1408 words)

Rhetorical "Rivers of Blood" Overall, the presentation of the speech fragments focuses on those most graphic and disturbing images (the "whip hand," the letterbox excreta, and the "river of blood") to the exclusion of historical and international contexts, Powell's argument about the duty of the "statesman," or the statistical and legal argumentation within the text of the speech itself. The speech itself begins with a review of the duties of a statesman, the chief of which is "to provide against preventable evils," While the speech did not deviate from his general nationalist, capitalist political themes, it seemed aimed more at galvanizing political support than at opening a genuine dialogue regarding race and immigration. www.latrobe.edu.au /screeningthepast/firstrelease/fr0300/kpfr9b.htm   (5748 words)

Commentary on Poem Gaius Fabricius Luscinus was a Roman statesman and general in the early 3rd century BCE, extolled as an example of old-fashioned Roman virtue and honesty. : Gaius Laelius Sapiens, the chief speaker of this dialogue, is speaking here to his sons-in-law, Fannius and Scaevola. Although we have no reason to think that Hannibal was unusually cruel, the Romans stereotyped the entire Carthaginian people as cruel and treacherous. www.iona.edu /latin/cicero3/commentpoem4.html   (5748 words)
