Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato

Thomas Taylor

Beschreibung

In "Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato," Thomas Taylor expertly navigates the complex terrain of Platonic thought, elucidating the foundational concepts and dialogues that have shaped Western philosophy. Taylor employs a didactic literary style, combining rigorous analysis with accessible prose that invites both scholars and lay readers alike into the intricacies of Plato's ideas. His contextualization of Plato within the broader framework of Ancient Greek philosophy reveals both the interconnectedness of philosophical thought and the relevance of Platonic ideals in contemporary discourse. Through meticulous examination of dialogues such as "The Republic" and "Phaedrus," Taylor offers insight into the allegorical subtleties and metaphysical underpinnings of Plato's work. Thomas Taylor, renowned as one of the foremost Neoplatonist philosophers and translators in the early 19th century, was greatly influenced by both classical thought and mystical philosophy. His extensive background in Ancient Greek literature and dedication to reviving Platonic texts positioned him uniquely to provide readers with a richly informed perspective on Plato's philosophies. This work reflects Taylor's passion for uncovering the spiritual dimensions of Plato's dialogues, which resonates with his own philosophical inquiries. I highly recommend "Introduction to the Philosophy and Writings of Plato" to anyone interested in the enduring legacy of Platonic thought. Whether you are a seasoned philosopher seeking a deeper understanding or a newcomer curious about the origins of Western philosophy, Taylor's comprehensive guide will illuminate the nuances of Plato's writings and inspire further exploration into the philosophical dialogue that continues to shape our world.

A Rare Recording of Corrie ten...

Corrie ten Boom

Cornelia Arnolda Johanna "Corrie" ten Boom (April 15, 1892 - April 15, 1983) was a Dutch watchmaker who worked with her father Casper and other family members to help, reportedly, 800 Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II by hiding them in their home. Eventually, the family was caught, and ten Boom was arrested and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp, but released after ten months due to a clerical error. Later in life, ten Boom wrote, "The Hiding Place," a biography that recounts the story of her family's efforts and how she was able to find hope while imprisoned at the concentration camp. It was later made in to a movie. The following is part one of a speech ten Boom gave called, Authority Over Demons.

The Ascent of Affect - Genealogy...

Ruth Leys

In recent years, emotions have become a major, vibrant topic of research not merely in the biological and psychological sciences but throughout a wide swath of the humanities and social sciences as well. Yet, surprisingly, there is still no consensus on their basic nature or workings.   Ruth Leys’s brilliant, much anticipated history, therefore, is a story of controversy and disagreement. The Ascent of Affect focuses on the post–World War II period, when interest in emotions as an object of study began to revive. Leys analyzes the ongoing debate over how to understand emotions, paying particular attention to the continual conflict between camps that argue for the intentionality or meaning of emotions but have trouble explaining their presence in non-human animals and those that argue for the universality of emotions but struggle when the question turns to meaning. Addressing the work of key figures from across the spectrum, considering the potentially misleading appeal of neuroscience for those working in the humanities, and bringing her story fully up to date by taking in the latest debates, Leys presents here the most thorough analysis available of how we have tried to think about how we feel.
