One of the most celebrated of Plato's ideas was that if human society was ever to function successfully then philosophers would need to become kings, or kings philosophers. In a perfect state, therefore, philosophic wisdom should be wedded to political power. In antiquity, who were or aspired to be philosopher-kings? What was their understanding of wisdom and the limits of knowledge? What influence have they had on periods beyond antiquity? This volume focuses on Plato and his contemporaries; Alexander the Great and his Hellenistic successors; Marcus Aurelius and the ‘good emperors'; Moses, Solomon and early Hebrew leaders; and Julian the Apostate, the last of the pagans. In conclusion it looks at the re-emergence of the Platonic ideal in important moments of European history, such as the Enlightenment. The theme of the philosopher-king is significant for Greco-Roman antiquity as a whole, and this work is unique in detailing the development of an idea through major periods of Greek and Roman history, and beyond; 256 pages

Former owner's name in pencil to ffep. Book is fine. DJ has some yellowing to rear panel with light shelfwear. ; The Cratylus has puzzled many readers with its lengthy discussion of the 'true meanings' of more than a hundred Greek names. This book aims to give a coherent interpretation of the whole dialogue, paying particular attention to these etymologies. The book discusses the rival theories of naming offered by Cratylus, Hermogenes, and Socrates, arguing that Socrates presents a prescriptive theory, laying down what names should be, rather than describing what they are. This distinction between prescriptive and descriptive theories is elaborated and used to illuminate the etymologies themselves. After discussing possible sources for the etymologies, the author argues that the etymological section amounts to a Platonic critique of the muddled attitude of Greek poets and thinkers towards names. ; Philosophia Antiqua LVIII; 206 pages

Gutes Exemplar; Einband berieben u. stw. beschabt; fliegendes Vorsatz beschnitten u. m. hs. Anmerkungen; einige Seiten minimal fleckig. - Latein und griechisch. - Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Daniel Albert Wyttenbach (* 7. August 1746 in Bern; † 17. Januar 1820 in Oegstgeest) war ein Schweizer Philologe. ... Er war Professor am Athenaeum Illustre Amsterdam. 1799 bis 1818 war er Professor an der Universität Leiden. 1811 wurde er zum korrespondierenden Mitglied der Göttinger Akademie der Wissenschaften und 1814 zum auswärtigen Mitglied der Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres gewählt. … (wiki) // Der Phaidon (Phaídon, latinisiert Phaedo) ist ein in Dialogform verfasstes Werk des griechischen Philosophen Platon. Wiedergegeben wird ein literarisch gestaltetes Gespräch, das in eine Rahmenhandlung eingebettet ist. Der Philosoph Phaidon von Elis, nach dem der Dialog benannt ist, tritt in der Rahmenhandlung als Erzähler auf. Er ist wie Platon ein Schüler des Sokrates. Dieser ist vor kurzem in Athen wegen Asebie (Religionsfrevel) und Verführung der Jugend zum Tode verurteilt und hingerichtet worden. Phaidon schildert als Augenzeuge einer Gruppe von Zuhörern die Ereignisse des Todestags, den der Verurteilte im Gefängnis im Kreis von Freunden verbrachte. Den Hauptteil seiner Darstellung bildet die vollständige Wiedergabe einer philosophischen Diskussion, die Sokrates führte. Anschließend berichtet Phaidon von den letzten Handlungen und Äußerungen des zum Tode Verurteilten. Die Gesprächspartner des Sokrates sind neben Phaidon zwei weitere seiner Schüler, Kebes und Simmias von Theben. Das Hauptthema ist die Seele: Es geht um ihre Beschaffenheit, ihr Verhältnis zum Körper, den sie beseelt, und ihr mutmaßliches Schicksal nach dem Tod. Sokrates versucht die Unsterblichkeit der Seele plausibel zu machen. Zu diesem Zweck trägt er mehrere Argumente vor, die seine These stützen sollen. Er betrachtet die individuelle Seele als unzerstörbar und sieht in ihr den Träger der Kenntnisse, Fähigkeiten und Erinnerungen des Menschen. Nach seinem Verständnis bewohnt, beherrscht und bewegt die Seele den Körper, sie verleiht ihm durch ihre Anwesenheit das Leben. Beim Tod trennt sie sich von ihm, was seinen Zerfall zur Folge hat. Im Verlauf der Seelenwanderung verbindet sie sich nacheinander mit verschiedenen Körpern. Demnach besteht kein Grund zur Todesfurcht, denn der Tod bedeutet nur Zerstörung des jeweiligen Körpers, die Person aber ist die Seele, die immer intakt erhalten bleibt. Sokrates verteidigt dieses anthropologische Modell gegen Einwände von Simmias und Kebes. Insbesondere wendet er sich gegen ein Alternativmodell, dem zufolge "Seele" nur eine Bezeichnung für die Harmonie der materiellen Elemente des Körpers ist. Wenn man die Seele als Harmonie auffasst, muss man annehmen, dass sie vernichtet wird, wenn der Körper stirbt und infolgedessen seine Struktur zerfällt. Nach Sokrates' Überzeugung hängt das Schicksal der Seele nach dem Tod von ihrem Verhalten während des Lebens ab; optimal ist eine philosophische Lebensführung, wie er selbst sie praktiziert hat. Diese Sichtweise verhilft ihm zu einer gelassenen Haltung und einem heiteren, unbeschwerten Sterben, während die anderen tief betrübt sind und weinen. ... (wiki)

Slight fading to DJ spine. ; In this exciting new interpretation of the "Odyssey", renowed scholar Seth Benardete suggests that Homer may have been the first to philosophize in a Platonic sense. He argues that the "Odyssey" concerns precisely the relation between philosophy and poetry and, more broadly, the rational and the irrational in human beings. In light of this possibility, Bernardete works back and forth from Homer to Plato to examine the relation between wisdom and justice and tries to recover an original understanding of philosophy that Plato, too, recovered by reflecting on the wisdom of the poet. At stake in his argument is no less than the history of philosophy and the ancient understanding of poetry. "The Bow and the Lyre" is a book that every classicist and historian of philosophy should have. ; 9.5 x 0.75 x 6.5 Inches; 194 pages
