Bentham and the Death Penalty
This article examines the three works of Jeremy Bentham on capital punishment dating from 1775, 1809, and 1831. Besides Hugo Bedau's analysis of Bentham's 1775 and 1831 works and James Crimmins's assessment of Bentham's 1809 work, little attention has been paid to his abolitionist arguments on this contentious issue. I review some of the developments in Bentham's position, noting where the later work corrects some deficiencies in the earlier work…
Slavery in Plato's Republic
For a number of years, in the not too distant past, there was a lively debate between Plato's defenders and critics over the question of whether his Republic contained slaves.

Vlastos argued that the evidence admits of no doubt - Plato included slaves in hi…

Plato and the Equality of Women
A I MONG CONTEMPORARY WOMEN'S LIBERATIONISTS, Plato is beginning to emerge as something of a hero. There are laudatory references to him in more popular publications: in her book Sex al Politics, Kate Millett co mends him for the liberal suggestions he made concerning the educatio of women; similarly, many years previously, Theodor Gomperz said that Plato proclai s we generally call the emancipation of women.1 These writers all ave in mind, of co…
Meno's Paradox Reconsidered
Forms and Flux in Plato's Cratylus
In this paper I want to consider two passages of the Cratylus in some detail (389 a 390 e, and 439 c 440 d). Despite their familiarity to students of Plato, it is my belief that commentators have overlooked certain subtle but important distinctions that are to be discerned in them, distinctions which, if sound, modify the usual interpretations of the dialogue. Briefly, what I hope to show is that in the first passage we are introduced to a differ…
