Plato's Theory of Eros in the Symposisum: Abstract
Recent work on Plato has rekindled interest in his theory of love. Several studies offer partial exegeses and critical assessments of the theory. Yet a systematic reconstruction of the theory does not exist, and disagreements remain about its central features and its virtues and defects. In this paper I offer such a reconstruction. In a larger study I attempt to understand and assess the theory relative to its cultural context and relative to rec…
Hintikka on Knowledge and its Objects in Plato
Plato's Psychology
Plato's Psychology originally published in 1970 and reprinted in 1972, is still the definitive modern discussion of the nature and development of Plato's concept of psyche. In a lengthy and detailed new introduction T.M. Robinson surveys the scope and value of a number of contributions to Plato's theory of psyche, individual and cosmic, that have appeared since 1970. He then offers his own 'second thoughts' on various aspects of the subject, revi…
Plato’s Protagoras and Explanations of Weakness
Understanding the sorts of explanations that can be offered in cases of weakness (weakness of will, weakness of character, and moral weakness) is an important aspect of the philosophical problem of akrasia.1 In a case of weakness a man does something that he knows or believes he should (ought) not do, or fails to do something that he knows or believes he should do, when the occasion and the opportunity for acting or refraining is present, and whe…
Socrates at Work on Virtue and Knowledge in Plato’s Laches
Some of Plato's early works, such as the Laches and the Charmides, have not traditionally received the attention accorded such Socratic dialogues as the Protagoras, the Meno, and the Gorgias. Yet, these subsequent dialogues discuss themes and problems first broached in these earlier works: the theme that virtue is knowledge of good and evil, and that this knowledge is akin to science; the problem of the unity of virtue; the Socratic insistence th…
Aristotle on Practical Inference, the Explanation of Action, and Akrasia
In his edition of the Nicomachean Ethics John Burnet added two appendices as particularly relevant to Aristotle's discussion of akrasia (weakness). The first appendix, De Anima, III, 10, contains Aristotle's discussion of how practical reason and want combine to cause movement for the sake of something and how explanations of action can be constructed in terms of these two elements; in the other appendix, De Motu 7, Aristotle casts explanations o…
Plato's Protagoras and Explanations of Weakness
The Socratic Paradoxes
PLATO'S ethics in the earlier dialogues (at least up to the Republic) is characterized by two doctrines commonly known as the Socratic paradoxes. The first of these is that no one desires evil things and that all who pursue evil things do so involuntarily ;1 the second doctrine is that virtue is knowledge and that all who do injustice or wrong do so involuntarily.2 Students of Plato have found these doctrines puzzling and paradoxical. It is not d…
