Extractions: Introductory Comments Staff Contact Information In print, an index is a list of resources, but when an index is moved to the Internet and provides ready access to the resources it lists, it becomes a library. When these resources are carefully selected on the basis of their relevance to a particular topic and rendered searchable by a central mechanism, the result is a quality-controlled region of cyberspace that is, more or less, sealed off from the broader Internet and yet vast in its domain. With this site, we have taken the limited area search engine (LASE) technology developed at the University of Evansville first used to power Argos: Limited Area Search of the Ancient and Medieval Internet and modified it for a different purpose. In order to make accessible the wide range of resources related to Plato that are already available on the Internet and potentially enhance the study of Plato for anyone with an Internet connection, we have employed a search engine to track, catalogue and organize these resources. We have also presented them in an easy-to-navigate hierarchical index Users may search the items listed in this index in a variety of ways. They may browse through topical listings or use a search engine. We have divided resources into six domains, including articles and essays, bibliographies, book reviews, lecture notes, maps and images, and primary texts, each of which may be searched alone or in any combination with the others. Cascade search techniques allow searching downward from any point in the hierarchy, and we offer a full range of parameters for formulating search requests, including the use of boolean operators and both substrings and phrases.

Extractions: If Thales was the first of all the great Greek philosophers, Plato must remain the best known of all the Greeks. The original name of this Athenian aristocrat was Aristocles, but in his school days he received the nickname Platon (meaning "broad" ) because of his broad shoulders. (He is not the only great man to be known universally by a nickname. The Roman orator Cicero is another. ) Plato was born in Athens, about 427 B.C., and died there about 347 B.C. In early life Plato saw war service and had political ambitions. However, he was never really sympathetic to the Athenian democracy and he could not join wholeheartedly in its government. He was a devoted follower of Socrates, whose disciple he became in 409 B.C., and the execution of that philosopher by the democrats in 399 B.C. was a crushing blow. He left Athens, believing that until "kings were philosophers or philosophers were kin gs" things would never go well with the world. (He traced his descent from the early kings of Athens and perhaps he had himself in mind.) For several years he visited the Greek cities of Africa and Italy, absorbing

Extractions: Before giving details of Plato 's life we will take a few moments to discuss how definite the details are which we give below. The details are mostly given by Plato himself in letters which seem, on the face of it, to make them certain. However, it is disputed whether Plato did indeed write the letters so there are three possible interpretations. Firstly that Plato wrote the letters and therefore the details are accurate. Secondly that although not written by Plato, the letters were written by someone who knew him or at least had access to accurate information on his life. The third possibility, which unfortunately cannot be ruled out, is that they were written by someone as pure fiction. Next we should comment on the name 'Plato'. In [13] Rowe writes:- It was claimed that Plato's real name was Aristocles, and that 'Plato' was a nickname roughly 'the broad' derived either from the width of his shoulders, the results of training for wrestling, or from the breadth of his style, or from the size of his forehead.

http://plato.evansville.edu/life.htm

Extractions: Christopher Planeaux Plato was born around the year 428 BCE into an established Athenian household with a rich history of political connections including distant relations to both Solon and Pisistratus . Plato's parents were Ariston and Perictone , his older brothers were Adeimantus and Glaucon , and his younger sister was Potone . In keeping with his family heritage, Plato was destined for the political life. But the Peloponnesian War, which began a couple of years before he was born and continued until well after he was twenty, led to the decline of the Athenian Empire. The war was followed by a rabid conservative religious movement that led to the execution of Plato's mentor, Socrates . Together these events forever altered the course of Plato's life. The biographical tradition is unanimous in its observation that Plato engaged in many forms of poetry as a young man, only later turning to philosophy. Aristotle tells us that sometime during Plato's youth the philosopher-to-be became acquainted with the doctrines of Cratylus , a student of Heraclitus , who, along with other Presocratic thinkers such as Pythagoras and Parmenides , provided Plato with the foundations of his metaphysics and epistemology.

http://www.knuten.liu.se/~bjoch509/philosophers/pla.html

Extractions: Other Plato sites Plato was born in Athens of an aristocratic family. He recounts in the Seventh Letter , which, if genuine, is part of his autobiography, that the spectacle of the politics of his day brought him to the conclusion that only philosophers could be fit to rule. After the death of Socrates in 399, he travelled extensively. During this period he made his first trip to Sicily, with whose internal politics he became much entangled. He visited Sicily at least three times in all and may have been richly subsidised by Dionysius. On return from Sicily he began formal teaching at what became the Academy. Plato is generally regarded as the inventor of the philosphical argument as we know it, and many would claim that the depth and range of his thought have never been surpassed. Plato's fame rests on his Dialogues, which are all preserved. They are usually divided in three periods, early, middle, and late. The early dialogues establish the figure of Sokrates, portrayed as endlessly questioning, shattering the false claims of his contemporaries. The middle dialogues are not in dialogue form and do not exhibit the Socratic method. The middle dialogues defend the doctrines commonly thought of as Platonism. In the late works, especially the last and longest dialogue, the Laws, Plato returns to the character of the ideal republic in a more sober manner, with civic piety and religion taking much of the burden of education away from philosophy.

Site information : About the author " Mankind will not get rid of its evils until either the class of those who philosophize in truth and rectitude reach political power or those most powerful in cities, under some divine dispensation, really get to philosophizing. " VIIth Letter, 326a-b Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers , no earlier than the third century AD. And these bear very little resemblance with what we expect from a biography nowadays. To make things worse, Plato almost never talks about himself in his dialogues (he does so only twice, once in the Apology and once in the , each time in connection with the trial and death of Socrates). But, if we accept the authenticity of the VIIth Letter (which I do), we have there the closest thing to an autobiography we can dream of owing to the scarcity of our sources, though quite limited in scope despite its late date in Plato's life (it could not have been written before Dion's assassination in 354 BC, to which it refers, that is, at a time Plato was over 70).

http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/GREECE/PLATO.HTM

Extractions: The Republic , and, next to his account of Socrates's trial, The Apology The Republic is one of the single most influential works in Western philosophy. Essentially, it deals with the central problem of how to live a good life; this inquiry is shaped into the parallel questions (a) what is justice in the State, or what would an ideal State be like, and (b) what is a just individual? Naturally these questions also encompass many others, such as how the citizens of a state should be educated, what kinds of arts should be encouraged, what form its government should take, who should do the governing and for what rewards, what is the nature of the soul, and finally what (if any) divine sanctions and afterlife should be thought to exist. The dialogue, then, covers just about every aspect of Plato's thought. There are several central aspects to the dialogue that sum up Platonic thought extremely well: a.) what the nature of justice is; b.) the nature of an ideal republic; and c.) the allegory of the cave and the divided line, both of which explain Plato's theory of forms. The Nature of Justice . The question which opens this immense dialogue is: what is justice? Several inadequate definitions are put forward, but the most emphatically presented definition is given by a young Sophist, Thrasymachus. He defines justice as whatever the strongest decide it is, and that the strong decide that whatever is in their best interest is just (review again the Athenian position in

Think over this carefully: the visible world, that is, the world you see, has two kinds of visible objects in it. The first kind are shadows and reflections, that is, objects you see but aren't really there but derive from the second type of visible objects, that is, those that you see and are really there. The relation of the visible world to the intelligible world is identical to the relation of the world of reflections to the world of visible things that are real. More Greek Philosophy
