FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY BRAND NEW PRISTINE NEVER OPENED -- Platos "Politicus" "Statesman" stands both in date and in political thought between the Republic and the Laws. It presents his thoughts at the point when he was chastened by disappointment with his attempts to put theory into practice at Syracuse. The dialogue reflects contemporary controversies on the method of definition; but its logical exercises and the impressive myth of the two cosmic eras serve to bring out its essential political teaching. This volume contains the text in translation. In this second edition revised by the author for BCP in 1987 Skemp made corrections to his extensive introduction and running commentary and added a new appendix taking into account scholarship since the first 1952 edition. -- TABLE OF CONTENTS: FOREWORD Page 7 INTRODUCTORY ESSAY.

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY BRAND NEW PRISTINE NEVER OPENED -- 160 pages; 5 1/4 8 3/4 inches - SEE IMPORTANT INTRODUCTION BY THE EDITOR - A collection of Plato's work showing the unsurpassed power of his writing which ultimately lies in the fact that he was as much a literary as a philosophic genius. - Plato is without doubt one of the most important thinkers who has ever lived and his voice still resonates through all the disciplines of our time - politics justice law ethics beauty art education mathematics religion cosmology language and the afterlife are all embraced in his works. The new translations in this collection seek to reveal the unsurpassed power of his writing which ultimately lies in the fact that he was as much a literary as a philosophic genius. An introduction on the life works influences and philosophy of Plato sets the scene for the anthology of translations that follow which pay special attention to the meanings of key words and phrases and in several cases seek to replicate the structure and feel of the original Greek. The book concludes with a short essay on the philosophical dispute with Platos most famous pupil Aristotle. The Power of Plato is for all those searching for a first insight into the genius of Plato for students wishing to translate and understand his works and for those already familiar with his writings who welcome a fresh approach to the teachings of the greatest European philosopher. - TOC: Translators Note Introduction 1.

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
