Extractions: Introduction. The The There To The Euthydemus is, of all the Dialogues of Plato, that in which he approaches most nearly to the comic poet. The mirth is broader, the irony more sustained, the contrast between Socrates and the two Sophists, although veiled, penetrates deeper than in any other of his writings. Even Thrasymachus, in the Republic, is at last pacified, and becomes a friendly and interested auditor of the great discourse. But in the Euthydemus the mask is never dropped; the accustomed irony of Socrates continues to the end... Socrates narrates to Crito a remarkable scene in which he has himself taken part, and in which the two brothers, Dionysodorus and Euthydemus, are the chief performers. They are natives of Chios, who had settled at Thurii, but were driven out, and in former days had been known at Athens as professors of rhetoric and of the art of fighting in armour. To this they have now added a new accomplishmentthe art of Eristic, or fighting with words, which they are likewise willing to teach 'for a consideration.' But they can also teach virtue in a very short time and in the very best manner. Socrates, who is always on the look-out for teachers of virtue, is interested in the youth Cleinias, the grandson of the great Alcibiades, and is desirous that he should have the benefit of their instructions. He is ready to fall down and worship them; although the greatness of their professions does arouse in his mind a temporary incredulity.
Plato : Euthydemus : Euthydemus (cont'd) CRITO Ctesippus! nonsense. SOCRATES All I know is that I heard these words,and that they were not spoken either by Euthydemus or dionysodorus. http://www.classicreader.com/read.php/sid.8/bookid.1797/sec.3/
Extractions: Euthydemus (cont'd) CRITO: And do you mean, Socrates, that the youngster said all this? SOCRATES: Are you incredulous, Crito? CRITO: Indeed, I am; for if he did say so, then in my opinion he needs neither Euthydemus nor any one else to be his instructor. SOCRATES: Perhaps I may have forgotten, and Ctesippus was the real answerer. CRITO: Ctesippus! nonsense. SOCRATES: All I know is that I heard these words, and that they were not spoken either by Euthydemus or Dionysodorus. I dare say, my good Crito, that they may have been spoken by some superior person: that I heard them I am certain. CRITO: Yes, indeed, Socrates, by some one a good deal superior, as I should be disposed to think. But did you carry the search any further, and did you find the art which you were seeking? SOCRATES: Find! my dear sir, no indeed. And we cut a poor figure; we were like children after larks, always on the point of catching the art, which was always getting away from us. But why should I repeat the whole story? At last we came to the kingly art, and enquired whether that gave and caused happiness, and then we got into a labyrinth, and when we thought we were at the end, came out again at the beginning, having still to seek as much as ever.

Extractions: At these words the followers of Euthydemus, of whom I spoke, like a chorus at the bidding of their director, laughed and cheered. Then, before the youth had time to recover his breath, Dionysodorus cleverly took him in hand, and said: Yes, Cleinias; and when the grammar master dictated anything to you, were they the wise boys or the unlearned who learned the dictation? Then once more the admirers of the two heroes, in an ecstasy at their wisdom, gave vent to another peal of laughter, while the rest of us were silent and amazed. Euthydemus, observing this, determined to persevere with the youth; and in order to heighten the effect went on asking another similar question, which might be compared to the double turn of an expert dancer. Do those, said he, who learn, learn what they know, or what they do not know?

Extractions: Limited Inc quoted Milton a few days ago, and we were thinking, okay, our audience is probably begging, begging for a nicely polished post on the ever vexed question, is the Prince of Darkness the real hero of Paradise Lost, as Blake maintained? Even Blake, as far as I know, didn't think his was a proposition Milton consciously maintained. He shrank from it. Thus the lesser poetry of Paradise Regained. Consciousness is a coward; or to put it in more Blakean terms, one law for the Ox and the Lion is tyranny. Borges teases out from Bloy's disparate writings (and if you have ever read Bloy, darling, you know just how scattered the man's thoughts were reading him is like watching a child slip the inner band out of a necklace and scatter its stones. A painful spectacle of brilliant waste) the radical consequences of Paul's metaphor. For indeed, what are we if we are fully understood elsewhere - it rather puts the whole effort to know oneself in the category of inveterate and sad illusion, doesn't it? If that isn't nightmarish enough, consider this quote of Bloy's: 'I recall one of my oldest ideas. The Czar is the leader and spiritual father of a hundred and fifty million men. An atrocious responsibility that is only apparent. Perhaps he is not responsible to God, but rather to a few human beings. If the poor of his empire are oppressed during his reign, if immense catastrophies result from that reign, who knows if the servant charged with shining his boots is not the real and sole person guilty? In the mysterious dispositions of the Profundity, who is really Czar, and who can boast of being a mere servant?'

Extractions: Demosthenes 56, Against Dionysodorus Sometime around 322 BCE a man named Dareius brought a private action in an Athenian court against a merchant called Dionysodorus. Dareius and his business partner Pamphilus had made a loan to Dionysodorus and his partner Parmeniscus for a trading voyage to Egypt and back. In his opening words of his speech to the court, Dareius describes the risks confronting men who made maritime loans. "We who decide to engage in maritime trade and to entrust our property to other men are clearly aware of this fact: the borrower has an advantage over us in every respect. The borrower receives a clearly agreed upon sum of money, but all he leaves behind is just his promise to perform his legal duties in a small tablet bought for two obols and written on a tiny scrap of paper. We on the other hand do not promise to give the money, but immediately turn it over to the borrower. What do we place our trust in and what assurance do we receive when we part with our money? You and your laws which order that all agreements one makes willingly will be binding." In his closing words Dareius discusses the close connection between the role of the courts in enforcing contracts and the volume of trade in the marketplace of Athens.

Extractions: Login or Register Home Sophists Archive ... Forums 24 G(s) 4 M(s) Sophists were a group of loosely connected group of individuals from the 5th and early 4th centuries B.C. Sophist means a teacher of rhetoric. It came from the term sophites which meant wise, prudent, statesmanlike or skilled at one's craft. They were basically traveling teachers that charged a fee for their lessons. "They taught many different things including public speaking, grammar, linguistic theory, moral and political doctrines, doctrines about god and nature and the origins of man, literary analysis and criticism, mathematics, and physical theories of the universe." Basically they would teach whatever was in demand. There were others but the most famous sophists include Protagoras of Abdera, who is considered the first of the sophists, Euclides of Megara, Hippias Of Elias, Prodicus of Ceos, and Gorgias of Leontini. Prodicus of Ceos was a disciple of Protagoras. He came to Athens as a ambassador. There he opened a school of rhetoric. He thought that the right use right words and the accurate discrimination of synonyms was very important. He teachings in Athens were at about the same time as the end of the Peloponnesian War. Prodicus considered himself a Sophist but defined one as "midway between a philosopher and a statesman." At one time Socrates was one of his disciples but according to Socrates, he did not learn anything from Prodicus. Socrates once remarked that he sent young men to Prodicus who he did not think could be helped by his own teachings. People loved to hear him speak even though he had an unpleasant sounding voice. His most famous work was "The Choice of Hercules". His other famous writings were "the Hours" and "on Nature". He was put to death in Athens for corrupting the youth, forced to drink hemlock, but it is doubtful he ever got a trial.

Extractions: Subsections I am writing up a set of book reviews in the hope that it will be useful to others who are interested in finding good books. I currently have no television (and hope to never have one), so I have been doing a lot of reading, both of good books and bad. This has made me think that it would be worth writing up an account of which books are good, and which are not. To this end I have developed a rating of one to five stars: Favorite These books are my favorites in a given category. Obviously, I would highly recommend them. This is the highest (normal) rating. This is a book that I would strongly recommend that you read, even if you aren't sure that you like reading that category of books. I would strongly recommend reading these books if you enjoy reading that category of book (e.g. scifi), or if you like the author (for example, because you read a book by that author) I would recommend these books only if you have exhausted the and books, and still have extra time on your hands. Not that these aren't enjoyable books to read. They just aren't as good. A good example would probably be just about every Louis Lamour book. They all are entertaining, and are good if you want to read them, but (in my opinion) none of them are books that I would recommend to anyone (unless you just want an easy read).
