Actually it is an exposition of all that was best in the doctrines of Socrates , who was as misunderstood by most of his followers as by his enemies. To the bourgeoisie of Athens the master's aim was to turn his pupils into caustic critics and somewhat arrogant and self-satisfied revolutionaries. Socrates had spent himself largely in destructive criticism, but here, he attempts to put something constructive in its place by deliberately not defending himself in what might well be one of the two great judicial suicides of history. ABOUT THIS SQUASHED EDITION This version is based on the condensed version first published by Sir John Hammerton in 1919.

PLATO Almost all of what we know about Plato comes from his own account of his life in one of thirteen letters (#7) that were preserved along with his dialogues. In addition, Diogenes Laertius, in the second or third century A.D., recorded various facts of Plato's life that he had gleaned from contemporary sources which have not been otherwise preserved. Plato was born in 427 B.C. in Athens to an aristocratic family. His father, Ariston, traced his family back through several of the ancient kings of Athens to the god Poseidon. His mother, Perictione, was decended from Dropides, who was a relative and close friend of Solon. Her brother was Charmides and her cousin was Critias, both of whom were well known politicians of the day. Plato had two older brothers, Adeimantus and Glaucon, and a sister, Potone. Plato's father died while Plato was a boy and Perictione married her uncle, by whom she had a boy, Antiphon, whom Plato mentions in one of his dialogues. Plato's youth came at a terrible time in Athenian history; and he might well have been a very different person had he been born at another time, perhaps several decades earlier. In the early period of the Peloponnesian Wars, a democratic and powerful Athens had been lead onward by one of its greatest political leaders, Pericles; but by Plato's birth, Pericles had died and Athens had begun to decline. The disastrous expedition to Syracuse occured when Plato was fifteen, and the final surrender of Athens occured when he was twenty three. Sparta terminated Athenian democracy and established a ruling oligarchy, "the Thirty Tyrants," in 404. Charmides and Critias were part of this government and encouraged Plato to enter politics.

The Background to Plato's Metaphysics Three predecessors heavily influenced Plato's thoughts on metaphysics and epistemology, Heraclitus (c. 540 B.C.-480-70), Parmenides (c.515 B.C.-449-40), and Socrates (470 B.C.-399). Only fragments remain of the writings of Parmenides and Heraclitus, including some contained in the dialogues of Plato. Socrates wrote nothing. Plato's depiction of his teacher is our primary source of evidence for his philosophy. Parmenides argued that there is and could be only one thing, Being . One could not even think or say what is not. Moreover, since change implies that something comes to be what it

The answer is simple: Through the 1970's, the dominant terminal used on the PLATO system was the Magnavox Plato IV student terminal. In an era when all other computer display screens used CRTs, this display used a neon-discharge plasma panel. Yes, this is exactly the same technology used in plasma flat-screen TV screens today, except without the phosphors, so there was only one color, orange.

Glyn Hughes' Squashed Philosophers Search Squashed Philosophers The Condensed Edition of Plato of Athens The Republic ...in just 15200 words "Until Philosophers are kings, or kings have the spirit of Philosophy, cities will never have rest from their troubles." Reading time: about 100 minutes Wikipedia Entry Full text online Glyn's Recommended Print edition The Essential Squashed Philosophers from INTRODUCTION TO The Republic As a famous philosopher once said, "The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato". Alfred Whitehead may not have been exaggerating. Many of the conclusions presented in The Republic may seem, with two-and-a-half thousand years of hindsight, just silly. But its method of reaching those conclusions, by a precise process of honest and careful step-by-step searching after absolute answers, has been, and remains, the one great distinguishing feature of the European way of thinking. It underlies the impossible search for perfection which has given rise to Europe's science, politics, psychology, education and much of its angst. It stands in valorous contrast to the world's only other great founder-philosopher, Confucius , whose love of harmony and the certainties of tradition built a very different society.

FlyingFish HOME Articles Links Contact Dissent and Compromise Like the initiate of a secret society who has broken free from the undifferentiated collectivity, the individual on his lonely path needs a secret which for various reasons he may not or cannot reveal. Such a secret reinforces him in the isolation of his individual aims. A great many individuals cannot bear this isolation. They are the neurotics, who necessarily play hide-and-seek with others as well as with themselves, without being able to take the game really seriously. As a rule they end by surrendering their individual goal to their craving for collective conformity - a procedure which all the opinions, beliefs and ideals of their environment encourage. Moreover, no rational arguments prevail against the environment. Only a secret which the individual cannot betray - one which he fears to give away, or which he cannot formulate in words, and which therefore seems to belong to the category of crazy ideas - can prevent the otherwise inevitable retrogression. [1] Plato's Cave Many people express a desire for improvements in society; in fact, have you ever met anyone who does not? This desire would be a uniting common ground, were it not the very swamp of human conflict and struggle - and it is a reflection of the slippery nature of words, where changes which are 'improvements' according to one person are another's poison.
