Locke As an account of political organization on the larger scale, Plato 's defense of an aristocratic government was unlikely to win broad approval in democratic Athens. He used the characters Glaucon and Adeimantus to voice practical objections against the plan. They are especially concerned (as Plato's Athenian contemporaries may well have been) with some of its provisions for the guardian class, including the participation of both men and women, the elimination of families, and the education of children. Republic ) Thus, Plato maintained that prospective guardians, both male and female, should receive the same education and be assigned to the same vital functions within the society. In addition, Plato believed that the interests of the state are best preserved if children are raised and educated by the society as a whole, rather than by their biological parents. So he proposed a simple (if startlingly unfamiliar) scheme for the breeding, nurturing, and training of children in the guardian class. (Note that the same children who are not permitted to watch and listen to "dangerous" art are encouraged to witness first-hand the violence of war.) The presumed pleasures of family life, Plato held, are among the benefits that the higher classes of a society must be prepared to forego. A general objection to the impracticability of the entire enterprise remains. Even if we are persuaded that

    Extractions: 1 star out of 4 The end of Cold War deprived the world of the movies featuring rugged individuals who save free people from Red Menace. All those nostalgic for those good old times could find traces of Hollywood's Cold War in the plot of PLATO'S RUN, 1997 action film directed by James Becket. Protagonist of the film is Plato Smith (played by Gary Busey), mine expert, former Navy SEAL and former CIA covert operative. After the end of Cold War he is utterly bored and spends all of its time hanging out with equally bored Cold War veterans in South Florida. Lack of money and persuasive powers of his former flame Marta (played by Tiani Warden) are reasons why he agrees to conduct covert operation for Gomez (played by Salvador Levy), powerful Cuban American. Gomez' son has been rotting in Castro's prison so Plato goes to Cuba to rescue him. But when it turns out that "son" was actually an assassin hired to kill Gomez, all hell breaks lose. Plato is set up for murder and must hide himself not only from police and vengeful Gomez's men, but also from Alexander Senarkian (played by Roy Scheider), menacing arms dealer.

    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

31. Plato [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
    Biography and description of the philosophy of plato.  
    http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/p/plato.htm
    
    Extractions: Plato Plato is one of the world's best known and most widely read and studied philosophers. Known as the student of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle, he wrote in the middle of the fourth century B.C.E. His earliest works are regarded as the most reliable of the ancient sources on Socrates. His later works, including his most famous work, the Republic, blend ethics, political philosophy, moral psychology, epistemology, and metaphysics into an interconnected and systematic philosophy. It is most of all from Plato that we get the theory of Forms, according to which the world we know through the senses is only an imitation of the pure, eternal, and unchanging world of the Forms. Plato's works also contain the origins of the familiar complaint that the arts work by inflaming the passions, the ideal of "Platonic love," and the myth of Atlantis.

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

" 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).

38. On Plato’s Criticism Of Democracy
    Essay accepting plato's observations of the weaknesses of democracy, but recognizing that the weaknesses can be minimized.  
    http://web.singnet.com.sg/~chlim/plato.html
    
    Extractions: In this essay I shall argue that while Plato has successfully shown the inherent weakness of democracy in its potential to collapse into tyranny, he has failed to recognise that this weakness can be minimised, and hence I don’t share his low opinion of democracy. Before I begin my discussion of Plato’s argument for the inherent weakness of democracy in The Republic , I have to clarify what is meant by ‘democracy’ in this context. By ‘democracy’ Plato is not referring to modern democracy, which he would have perceived as alien. Nor is he referring to the democracy of Athens in this argument. In this argument, Plato characterises democracy as being ‘the extreme of popular liberty’, where ‘slaves - male and female - have the same liberty as their owners’ and where there is ‘complete equality and liberty in the relations between the sexes’ (563b). Democracy as the ‘extreme of popular liberty’ is further illustrated as follows: ‘Then in democracy,’ I went on, ‘there’s no compulsion either to exercise authority if you are capable of it, or to submit to authority if you don’t want to; you needn’t fight if there’s a war, or you can wage a private war in peacetime if you don’t like peace; and if there’s any law that debars you from political or judicial office, you will none the less take either if they come your way. It’s a wonderfully pleasant way of carrying on in the short run, isn’t it? ‘In the short run perhaps.’

    Extractions: Other languages: Dansk Deutsch Esperanto Eesti ... Simple English From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Plato (c. 427 BC - c. 347 BC ) was an immensely influential classical Greek philosopher , student of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle . One of his most famous works is The Republic (Greek Politeia, 'city') in which he outlines Socrates's vision of an "ideal" state. It is most famous not for its content, but rather the formula for philosophical inquiry, often known as the socratic method. Plato also wrote the Laws and many dialogues in which Socrates is the main participant. Plato's works typically take the form of a dialogue between Socrates and other characters about the "true" nature of some abstract ideal, such as justice, piety, love, virtue, etc., etc. Though the works are framed as transcribed conversations, it is clear from their length and depth that many liberties have been taken with the speakers' words, and given the evolution of the philosophical ideas presented, it is clear that at least in later dialogues Plato has his fictional Socrates espouse ideas that may never have occurred to the actual Socrates.
