"Indeed, it is often held that the method of collection and division is introduced for the first time in the Phaedrus, which is standardly dated later than the Republic, and that it is meant in some way to replace the method discussed there; and sometimes that it depends on a view of communion of Forms which is not present in the Republic.2 I would not go so far.

ISBN-13: 978-1-910589-55-7, ISBN: 1-910589-55-1

"1 1 LAW AND JUSTICE IN PLATO Richard Stalley Introduction In this chapter I shall use the noun 'justice' to stand for the Greek δικαιοσύνη and the adjectives ' just' and 'unjust' to stand for its cognates δίκαιος and ἄδικος.

ISBN-13: 978-90-04-20129-3, ISBN: 90-04-20129-7

"Plato's discussions of poetry and the poets stand at the cradle of Western literary criticism. Plato is, paradoxically, both the philosopher who cites, or alludes to, works of poetry more than any other, and the one who is at the same time the harshest critic of poetry. The nineteen essays presented here aim to offer various avenues to this paradox, and to illuminate the ways poetry and the poets are discussed by Plato throughout his wr ..."
