The Political Soul
In this excellent book, Josh Wilburn argues for a new interpretation of Plato's conception of the spirited part of the soul and shows that this conception informs his political philosophy throughout his career. In Part I, Wilburn defends his interpretation of the spirited part of the soul. Chapter 1 argues that Plato held seriously the view that the soul has three parts, each of which should be understood as a distinct source of the psychic motio…
Plato as Critical Theorist
In this ambitious and wide-ranging book, Jonny Thakkar defends Plato's claim that philosophers should rule and shows how this can be realized in a liberal democratic context. In the first part, Thakkar provides an interpretation of the Republic that illuminates Plato's conception of both philosophy and ruling and so explains why Plato thinks philosophers should rule. In the second part, he shows how Plato's idea can be modified so that it is comp…
Why Spirit is the Natural Ally of Reason
In the Republic, Socrates claims that the soul has three distinct parts or elements, each an independent source of motivation: reason, spirit, and appetite. While Socrates’ characterization of the reasoning and appetitive parts is fairly clear and intuitive, his conception of the spirited part is notoriously obscure. Recently, however, a consensus has emerged regarding we should understand the spirited part: the spirited part aims to be fine and …
Soul Division And Mimesis In Republic X
It is well known that in the Republic, Socrates presents a view of the soul or the psyche according to which it has three distinct parts or aspects, which he calls the reasoning, spirited, and appetitive parts. Socrates’ clearest characterization of these parts of the soul occurs in Republic IX, where he suggests that they should be understood in terms of the various goals or ends that give rise to the particular desires that motivate our actions…
The Tripartite Theory of Motivation in Plato's Republic
Many philosophers today approach important psychological phenomena, such as weakness of the will and moral motivation, using a broadly Humean distinction between beliefs, which aim to represent the world, and desires, which aim to change the world. On this picture, desires provide the ends or goals of action, while beliefs simply tell us how to achieve those ends. In the Republic , Socrates attempts to explain the phenomena using a different dist…
