Plato; (Translated By Quincy, Keith)Biblio.com

Plato Unmasked: The Dialogues Made New A New Translation of The Dialogues of Plato PLATONIC PHILOSOPHY SOCRATES

200433677Spokane Washington U.S.A.: Eastern Washington Univ Pr. New. 2004. Hardcover. 0910055904 . FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY BRAND NEW NEVER OPENED 559 pages -- A daring translator Quincy gives the most acclaimed of ancient thinkers a saucy new voice: colloquial pungent and terse. Animated by a new tone the characters in Plato's classic dialogues speak with vernacular directness as they ask Socrates why he is "always hanging around" or as they complain that he's "driving them nuts." But even as he gives Plato's characters license to speak in casual idioms Quincy trims their speeches abridging dialogues he judges verbose. As if such tampering with Plato's words weren't enough to scandalize traditionalists Quincy supplements the chronologically arranged dialogues with historical notes that cast unflattering shadows on the Greek philosopher and his famous tutor: Plato stands exposed as a propagandist hiding his own political blunders Socrates as an ill-tempered slanderer of a gifted rival. Such irreverence will send some readers scurrying for the cover of canonical translations. But Quincy's brashness will attract many readers glad to see Plato and Socrates rescued from their honorific spots among the museum alabasters set free to again discomfit and perplex the complacent." Bryce Christensen BookList American Library Association. " - "Entirely new vastly readable and shockingly less polite than the standard versions Keith Quincys new translation of Platos dialogues makes these texts truly accessible and restores to them some of their original power to provoke and inspire. Presented in chronological order rather than the usual thematic groups Quincys dialogues present a sense of the evolution of Platos thought making him more clearly a subject than he appears to be in other collections. Each dialogue is preceded by an introduction linking it to historical characters and events and providing biographical sketches of the principals and their relationship to Socrates and Plato. The resulting picture is not always flattering; some of the revelations challenge the prevailing view of Socrates as an almost saintly figure and of Plato as his devotedly brilliant disciple. But there is good evidence for Quincys view and it gives a new and enlivening slant to these treasured texts." -- with a bonus offer-- . Eastern Washington Univ Pr hardcover

Plato; Reydams-Schils, Gretchen J (editor)Biblio.com

Plato's Timaeus As Cultural Icon

200369984Chicago Illinois U.S.A.: Univ of Notre Dame Pr. New. 2003. Paperback. 0268038724 . FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - PRISTINE BRAND NEW COPY - 334 pages. From Library Journal: "Considered by most scholars to be one of Plato's last works the Timaeus is less philosophical dialog than rhetorical display. Though it begins with Socrates reviewing his previous day's discussion of the various institutions of the ideal state the majority of the text is taken up by Timaeus' long philosophical disquisition on the creation of the world. Because the text sets out the foundations of a number of sciences astronomy chemistry cosmology and physics to name just a few it became a central text of Platonism in later antiquity and in the Middle Ages and is still studied as a central element in the canon of Plato's thought. Under the capable editorship of Reydams-Schils liberal studies Univ. Of Notre Dame the present volume brings together 13 essays by scholars from the United States Europe and Canada that address the influence and cultural status of the Timaeus since its appearance more than two millennia ago. Reydams-Schils's well-written and perceptive introduction deals with the reasons for the dialog's special place in Western thought and also serves to introduce the essays themselves which deal with topics as wide-ranging as its influence on our perception of the mind-body relation Richard Sorabji the Timaeus and Renaissance science M. J. B. Allen and the relationship between the Timaeus and the Chaldaean Oracles Luc Brisson. This collection is an excellent and reasonably priced support to studies of Plato's dialogs in general and the Timaeus in particular. Recommended for all academic libraries and larger public libraries with collections in the origins of Western thought." -- with a bonus offer-- . Univ of Notre Dame Pr paperback

To stimulate student discussion and comparison For reference Lincoln's address at Gettysburg is included in an appendix. Translations are in English including introduction and notes as well as literary and historical commentary. -- AUTHOR: Jud Herrman is Assistant Professor of Classical Studies at Allegheny College. -- FROM THE INTRODUCTION: "Throughout the fifth and fourth centuries BC at the close of each campaign season the Athenian state honored its war-dead in a public burial ceremony choosing a prominent orator to give the keynote address. This volume collects all of the surviving state funeral orations from classical Athens. Like tragedy these speeches present an image of an idealized Athens. The narratives of past Athenian glories found in these speeches feature many of the same mythical tales that were also presented on stage. Like many of the plays the funeral orations emphasize important themes such as Athenian unity their aid to suppliants and their willingness to drive away foreign invaders to protect the other Greeks. The selective version of more recent history found in the funeral orations also highlights these same qualities by focusing on the role of Athens during the Persian Wars 490-479 when the city helped save the other Greeks from invading foreigners and by passing over other events such as the Peloponnesian War 431404 in which Athens opposed fellow Greeks. Although nearly all of the surviving Greek tragedies are set in the distant mythical past the significant exception is Aeschylus Persians the audience in the theater would recognize aspects of contemporary Athens in the depiction of ancient Athenian heroes such as Theseus. The funeral orations draw similar connections more explicitly by presenting a continuous narrative tying the present generation with the great heroes of long ago." -- with a bonus offer-- .
