Plato was a philosopher in Ancient Greece. He was an essential figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition, and he founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Platos dialogues have been used (and are still used) to teach a range of subjects, including philosophy, logic, ethics, rhetoric, religion and mathematics. His lasting themes include Platonic love, the theory of forms, the five regimes, innate knowledge, among others. His theory of forms launched a unique perspective on abstract objects, and led to a school of thought called Platonism.This collection contains the following works by Plato:Early WorksApologyCharmides, or TemperanceCritoEuthyphroGorgiasHippias, LesserHippias, GreaterIonLachesLysisProtagorasTransitional WorksCratylusEuthydemusMenoParmenidesPhaedoPhaedrusSymposiumThe RepublicMiddle WorksTheaetetusLate WorksCritiasLawsPhilebusSophistStatesmanTimaeus

The Laws is Platos last and longest dialogue. The conversation depicted in the works twelve books begins with the question of who is given the credit for establishing a civilizations laws. Its musings on the ethics of government and law have established it as a classic of political philosophy alongside Platos more widely read Republic.Scholars generally agree that Plato wrote this dialogue as an older man, having failed in his effort in Syracuse on the island of Sicily to guide a tyrants rule, instead having been thrown in prison. These events are alluded to in the Seventh Letter. The text is noteworthy as Platos only undisputed dialogue not to feature Socrates.

De natura deorum expone los fundamentos teológicos de las tres grandes escuelas filosóficas del tiempo de Cicerón: epicúrea, estoica y académica escéptica. El autor se inclina por la doctrina estoica de una providencia divina universal.Marco Tulio Ciceron escribio hacia el final de su vida, entre el 45 y el 44 a.C., una docena larga de tratados de contenido filosofico. Con esta actividad, que le procuro alivio en una epoca de gran angustia personal, realizo un proposito albergado durante largo tiempo: crear un corpus filosofico extenso en latin dotado de calidad literaria, segun su ideal de combinar sapientia y eloquentia, pues creia que la pragmatica sociedad romana necesitaba pulir un tanto su espiritu con cierta dosis de reflexion sistematica. La tarea era ardua, puesto que el latin carecia de una tradicion literaria filosofica y era todavia rudo para la expresion de contenidos abstractos.Sobre la naturaleza de los dioses (De natura deorum) forma parte de este grupo de tratados (como Disputaciones tusculanas y Sobre la adivinacion, tambien publicadas en Biblioteca Clasica Gredos). Junto con esta ultima y con De fato forma la llamada "teologia" de Ciceron. En ella compone el autor una pequeña enciclopedia del pensamiento filosofico y religioso de la Antiguedad, pero no con la asepsia del mero anticuario, sino como estudioso vivamente interesado en la materia y en su proyeccion social y politica, en una epoca en que los romanos ya experimentaban desapego e indiferencia hacia la religion tradicional que tanta fuerza habia conferido al Estado. La obra se situa en Roma hacia el 76 a.C. y consiste en la sucesion de cuatro monologos extensos de un epicureo, un estoico y un academico esceptico, este por dos veces, donde se pasa revista, con cierto talante polemico, a las diversas concepciones sobre lo divino y su relacion con lo humano, desde la perspectiva de las distintas escuelas filosoficas. Ciceron se pronuncia personalmente, al final de la obra, a favor de las tesis estoicas sobre una providencia divina que rige el devenir, de un universo identificado con la divinidad.

Tres tratados (uno de ellos, adaptación del diálogo platónico homónimo) sobre la capacidad de entrever acontecimientos futuros, en los que Cicerón se muestra muy racionalista y escéptico.Componen este volumen tres obras cuyo tema es la capacidad de los hombres para conocer lo que les depara la suerte o (caso de existir) el destino. El dialogo Sobre la adivinacion, publicado en el 44 a.C., trata de las doctrinas estoicas acerca del destino y la posibilidad de predecirlo. El dialogo, mantenido en la villa que Ciceron poseia en Tusculo, tiene como interlocutores a su hermano Quinto y a el mismo (Marco). El primero, que se muestra muy familiarizado con las concepciones estoicas, sostiene la validez de algunas formas de adivinacion, y opina que por prudencia debe mantenerse la adivinacion de asuntos de estado. Marco replica que el futuro puede obedecer al azar (en cuyo caso no puede conocerse de antemano) o esta predeterminado (y entonces de nada sirve conocerlo, puesto que no se puede modificar). De divinatione trata de combatir un creciente interes por la profecia religiosa y termina con un elocuente ataque a la supersticion, que se describe como "extendiendose por todo el mundo, oprimiendo la mente de casi todos y aprovechandose de la debilidad humana". En este tratado, pues, la religion no esta mas libre que cualquier otro asunto de la practica academica de oir a todas las partes, y se llega a demoler las supersticiones que habian recibido un trato respetuoso en Las leyes.Sobre el destino, del año 44 a.C., conservado solo en parte, analiza si las acciones humanas estan predeterminadas o no, y se opone al fatalismo estoico con varios argumentos que indican una prolongada reflexion sobre la materia. Completa este volumen la parte conservada de la adaptacion que Ciceron hizo del Timeo platonico, en el que el filosofo pitagorico que da nombre al dialogo trata de la creacion del universo por un dios creador o demiurgo bueno.

Estos dos tratados, de autoría dudosa, inauguran una línea de estudios sobre la expresión del carácter y las emociones en los rasgos anatómicos que influiría en la crítica de arte hasta el Renacimiento.Este estudio de la expresion del caracter y las emociones en los rasgos anatomicos se ha atribuido a Aristoteles, aunque tal autoria es dudosa. En todo caso, pone de manifiesto la admiracion hacia el saber enciclopedico del filosofo de Estagira y de la escuela peripatetica, puesto que este tratado inaugura una linea de estudios que tuvo gran influencia en la composicion y la recepcion del arte hasta bien entrado el Renacimiento.

The Nicomachean Ethics is Aristotles best-known work on this subject. It consists of ten books and is based on notes from his lectures at the Lyceum. The theme of the work is the Socratic question of how men should best live. Before Socrates, philosophy was merely theoretical. This changed dramatically with Aristotles works, which bind philosophy to human issues. The Nicomachean Ethics are therefore practical rather than theoretical, in the original Aristotelian senses of these terms. This edition is annotated with more than 250 notes.

The Constitution of Athens is a thorough description of the political system of that ancient state. The treatise was composed between 330 and 322 BC and consists of two parts. The first part deals with the different forms of the constitution, the second part describes the citys institutions, including the terms of access to citizenship, magistrates and the courts.

Politics is Aristotles most known work on political philosophy. The treatise is the logical sequel to the Nicomachean Ethics, as both works deal with the "philosophy of human affairs." The whole treatise consists of eight books and chapters about constitutions, democracy, oligarchy, citizenships, states and political theories.

The Organon is another name for the standard collection of Aristotles six works on logic. They still belong to the most significant works on this subject and were highly influential throughout history for many philosophical tendencies, especially the Scholastics. This edition contains all six works. Contents: Categories On Interpretation Prior Analytics Posterior Analytics Topics Sophistical Refutations

"Introducing Aristotle" guides the reader through an explosion of theories, from the establishment of systematic logic to the earliest rules of science. Aristotles authority extended beyond his own lifetime to influence fundamentally Islamic philosophy and medieval scholasticism. For fifteen centuries, he remained the paradigm of knowledge itself. But can Aristotelian realism still be used to underpin our conception of the world today?

O Crátilo, de Platão, é o tratado sobre a linguagem mais antigo da cultura ocidental. O diálogo apresenta uma discussão de Sócrates com dois interlocutores que defendem concepções opostas sobre a cor

"Introducing Plato" begins by explaining how philosophers like Socrates and Pythagoras influenced Platos thought. It provides a clear account of Platos puzzling theory of knowledge, and explains how this theory then directed his provocative views on politics, ethics and individual liberty. It offers detailed critical commentaries on all of the key doctrines of Platonism, especially the very odd theory of Forms, and concludes by revealing how Platos philosophy stimulated the work of important modern thinkers such as Karl Popper, Martha Nussbaum, and Jacques Derrida.

Jorge Luis Borges philosophical fiction and Platos intellectual dramas are perhaps the most intricate records in Western history of attempts to artfully interweave mythos and logos, argumentation and narrative, thought and imagination. Their juxtaposition, presented in the following study, aims at demonstrating the complex connections between classical and modern literature and thought. The study shows how the Platonic viewpoint sheds new light on Borges essayistic and fictional work, providing what Wittgenstein calls an aspect change in considering Borges literary and theoretical work as a whole textual corpus. The first part of the study deals with three theoretical themes: the interrelation of myth and logos, the quest for knowledge, and the theory of the archetypes. The second part is more aesthetically oriented, attending to artistic inspiration, literary representation, narrative identity, the nature of the written word, the act of reading, and the act of writing. All in all, the study strives to manifest the extent to which Borges thought is deeply rooted in classical doctrines and Platonic themes, and, based on that, to provide new interpretations to Borgesian stories and poems.

Epicuro ensinava filosofia no subúrbio de Atenas, em uma pequena casa, doada por amigos, circundada por um jardim, e numa pequena propriedade. Foi definitivamente ali, aberto ao grande público, que ele se ocupou em consolidar sua filosofia, edificada sob tres seguimentos: metodologico, teorico e etico. Dividido em duas partes, este livro pe em questo e analisa, por um lado, o modo como esses tres segmentos (o da Canonica, o da Fisica e o da Etica) se articulam entre si, e juntos constituem uma unidade; por outro, expe os pressupostos teoricos da Canonica: aqueles com os quais Epicuro assentou as bases da doutrina e especificou o modelo epicurista de filosofar.

Le argomentazioni presentate in questo volume costituiscono le premesse di un lavoro di ricerca che ha investito linsieme dei "Dialoghi italiani" di Giordano Bruno, riuscendo a reperire e a far emergere quello che pare il nucleo piu profondo e importante della speculazione bruniana: la presenza attiva di un concetto triadico di natura teologico-politica: il Padre, il Figlio e lo Spirito Santo della tradizione trinitaria cristiana. Esso viene riformulato, attraverso il capovolgimento rivoluzionario di quella stessa tradizione, grazie alla riaffermazione del concetto creativo e dialettico dellinfinito.In questo volume questa struttura viene fatta gradualmente emergere e viene portata ad evidenza attraverso la critica operata progressivamente da Giordano Bruno ed il ribaltamento della logica che innerva tre testi aristotelici fondamentali: la "Metafisica", la "Fisica", "Il cielo".
