19662312252Cleveland and New York: Meridian Books 1966. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Spine and wrappers rubbed. 1966 Trade Paperback. x 562 pp. "This book provides an introduction to Plato's work that gives a clear statement of what Plato has to say about the problems of thought and life. In particular it tells the reader just what Plato says and makes no attempt to force a system on the Platonic text or to trim Plato's works to suit contemporary philosophical tastes. The author also gives an account that has historical fidelity - we cannot really understand the Republic or the Gorgias if we forget that the Athens of the conversations is meant to be the Athens of Nicias or Cleon not the very different Athens of Plato's own manhood. To understand Plato's thought we must see it in the right historical perspective. Meridian Books paperback books

Edited by Wayne Somers. Introduction by Sven Peterson. "The Theaetetus is one of Plato's dialogues concerning the nature of knowledge written circa 369 BCE. In this dialogue Socrates and Theaetetus discuss three definitions of knowledge: knowledge as nothing but perception knowledge as true judgment and finally knowledge as a true judgment with an account. Each of these definitions is shown to be unsatisfactory. Socrates declares Theaetetus will have benefited from discovering what he does not know and that he may be better able to approach the topic in the future. The conversation ends with Socrates' announcement that he has to go to court to face a criminal indictment."--Wikipedia Union College paperback books

Around 1958 Ukrainian emigres in the US came up with the idea of building a memorial to "Ukraine's Favorite Son" author Taras Shevchenko as a way of making a statement about their community and of the situation in their homeland. The campaign gained momentum and in 1960 Congress passed a bill which allocated land in Washington DC for the Ukrainians to build a statue. Platon Stasiuk a prominent Ukrainian-American businessman and treasurer of the Shevchenko Memorial Committee went to Ukraine in 1961 intent on taking back a container of soil from Shevchenko's grave to be placed under the monument in Washington. Expecting an appreciative committee he was instead met with rejection as his bringing the soil was viewed as a Soviet ploy. Disappointed Stasiuk published a book describing his experience and the Soviet media denounced the dismissal as hostility towards a friendly gesture. Stasiuk returned the soil to Ukraine and wrote a second account the current one in which he included numerous letters of support he had received for his initiative. By the Author paperback books

Contemporary full leather morocco spine labels gilt titles and triple rules marbled edges and endpapers. French translation of The Laws a series of twelve Platonic dialogues written towards the end of his life. Grou a Jesuit fled to Holland when his order was suppressed in France and it was there that these Dialogues were published. Later he returned to Paris and adopted the alias Leclaire remaining there until the Revolution drove him into a second exile in England. As well as Platonic translations Grou published theological works of a popular nature including The Spiritual Life: A Comprehensive Manual for Catholics Seeking Salvation. The publisher includes a dedication to the then-living philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This set also includes a 1778 edition of La Science de Bonhomme Richard Sabin 78111 which is a French version of Benjamin Franklin's The Way to Wealth. This work includes the sayings of Poor Richard as well as the interrogation of Benjamin Franklin relating to the Stamp Act Pennsylvania's new constitution and the interrogation of William Penn by parliament. Franklin spent a good deal of time in France and was well-liked there. The Way to Wealth was his most popular work and though it first appeared in England in 1757 it was the French translation originally published in 1777 that first included his commentary on British taxation of the American colonies. Herein he presages the colonists' discontent with being taxed and ordered about by a foreign power. Marc-Michel Rey / Chez Ruault, Libraire unknown books
15573087Venice: Comin da Trino 1557. Graesse V.325 giving 1558 imprint; a second issue; the Italian Union Catalogue Catalogo Unico lists only 5 copies in Italian libraries. Rare first Italian-language edition of this Platonic dialogue somewhat anomalous in the Platonic corpus because of its extended treatment of the nature of physical matter and cosmology and a favorite among Renaissance readers for its myth of Atlantis which influenced other Renaissance utopias. The 1550s or thereabouts saw the first Italian translation of the most popular Platonic dialogues whether directly from Greek as here or via Ficinos Latin translation; the prestige of Ficinos Latin translation and wider readership for the original Greek probably explains why this Italian edition came so relatively late. The edition was translated by the littérateur Sebastiano Erizzo 1525-1585 a prolific writer of poetry fiction and belles lettres who provides some commentary in the way of printed marginal annotations; he would later translate a further selection of dialogues into Italian in which the Timaeus was reprinted 1574.

Born at Athens of a noble family Plato aspired to political activity. Dismayed at the inequities of the Athenian tyranny and later at the execution of his teacher Socrates under the democracy he turned towards philosophy in search of an alternative to the unstable and unjust public life of the time. He also sought unity behind the changing impressions of the visible universe.All Plato's writing except for The Apology and the Letters is in dialogue form.The Apology records Socrates' defense at his trial. These dialogues are philosophically inconclusive but are considered best to represent the historical Socrates." BenÈt's Reader's Encyclopedia810. "Phaedo a dialogue by Plato. In it Phaedo a disciple of Socrates describes the last hour of his teacher's life. Socrates and his friends discuss the possibility of the immortality of the soul. The doctrine of ideas and the theory of reminiscence are the most important arguments" BenÈt's Reader's Encyclopedia 797.
