  • The Weakness of the Will

    J C B Gosling, Justin GoslingBOOKWeakness Of The Will2002

    Since before Plato, philosophers have puzzled over why it is that people will sometimes deliberately take the worst course of action. The book begins by examining the various theories put forward by Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics and a selection of medieval philosophers and discusses how and why later philosophers avoid the problem. In the second section, Justin Gosling argues that familiar ways of viewing the problem mislocate the apparent irratio…

  • Mad, Drunk or Asleep?–Aristotle's Akratic

    J C B Gosling, Justin GoslingARTICLEPhronesis1993Cited by: 3

    In what follows I propose to discuss a problem about Aristotle's treatment of akratic knowledge in Book VII of the Nicomachean Ethics, especially 1146b311147b19. Put briefly the question is whether Aristotle's account of off-beat knowledge there allows the akratic to know what they are doing without clouding of intellect. I shall be discussing this question on certain non-obvious assumptions. I shall be assuming i. that in the passage from 1146b3…

  • Phaedo

    J C B Gosling, C C W TaylorCHAPTERThe Greeks on pleasure1982

    This chapter analyzes Plato's treatment of pleasure in the Phaedo. His position is consistent in the various allusions to pleasure throughout the dialogue. That position can best be described as an extension of the process, begun in the Gorgias, of the development of Plato's own view of pleasure from its source in the Socratic hedonism portrayed in the Protagoras. The extension is threefold: firstly, in the association of bodily pleasures with il…

    J C B Gosling, J GoslingARTICLEPhronesis1965Cited by: 1

    This passage, in which Socrates undertakes to show that what we usually call knowledge is in fact recollection, is notorious in discussions of the Theory of Forms. For here more clearly than anywhere else Plato seems to say that particulars are imperfect imitations of forms, that they never really have the properties they seem to have. The apparent instances of equality and beauty strain after but forever fail to attain to perfection in those pro…

  • Father Kenny on False Pleasures

    J C B Gosling, J GoslingARTICLEPhronesis1961

    IN PHRONESIS vol. 5 no i. Fr. Kenny produces some objections to an article of mine in the preceding number on the discussion of false pleasure in the Philebus (36c-4ib), and offers an alternative interpretation. On one point I think he may be right, and that is where he objects to the way I connected the first type of false pleasure with the second or third. I am not sure about this. The fact that Socrates allows his analysis (44a4 seq) to apply …
