"How is this history of philosophy different from all others? 1. It's neighter very long (like Copleston's twelve-volumet tome, which is a clear and hepful reference work but pretty dull reading) nor very short (like many skimpy one-volume summaries) just long enough. 2. It's available in separate volumes but eventually in one complete work (after the four volumes - Ancient, Medieval, Modern, Contemporary - are produced in paperbound editions, a one-volume clothbound will be published). 3.

From Socrates to Cinema is the most comprehensive anthology of readings in philosophy, introducing students to the major areas in philosophy and the central questions posed by them-and it is a unique teaching resource for engaging students with these difficult questions. With over 130 readings, this anthology provides students with a vast selection of the classic and contemporary contributions to the disciplines in philosophy, systematically organizing readings within topical areas and critical questions. As a reader alone it is, by far, the most complete. In addition, this unique anthology includes features that provide a wealth of teaching options for the introductory course in philosophy. It links all the classic and contemporary readings to classic and popular films and literary works that explore, amplify, and confront the philosophical issues in the text. For every film and literary work, the text provides questions that connect them to themes in the readings, questions which will easily provoke discussion in the classroom and open the world of cinema to important philosophical considerations. Socrates to Cinema is a flexible resource intended to provide a robust array of original readings and pedagogical tools to bring the difficult questions of philosophy to life. .

Immanuel Kant is one of the greatest philosophers in history. But, as Peter Kreeft notes in this book, Kant is really two philosophers-a philosopher about how we know things (epistemology) and a philosopher of right and wrong (ethics). If he had written only on either topic, he would still be the most important and influential of the modern philosophers.

This vivid and compelling study of Socrates’s moral philosophy and, more generally, of his moral outlook and his attitude toward religion and society, reclaims the remarkable originality of his thought. Gregory Vlastos shows us a Socrates who, though he has been long overshadowed by his successors, Plato and Aristotle, represented the true turning point in Greek attitude toward philosophy, religion, and ethics. In his quest for the historical Socrates, Vlastos focuses on Plato's earlier dialogues, setting the Socrates we find there in sharp contrast to the Socrates of later dialogues, in which he is used as a mouthpiece for Plato's own doctrines, many of them anti-Socratic in nature.At the heart of the book is Vlastos's perception of the paradoxical nature of Socratic thought. But Vlastos explains the paradoxes rather than explaining them away, and he highlights the tensions in the Socratic search for the answer to the question: How should we live? The magnetic quality of Socrates' personality emerges throughout his book. Clearly and elegantly written, subtle in its arguments yet entirely accessible to non-specialists, this is major work in ancient philosophy and the history of Western thought.

In this section-by-section commentary, Benardete argues that Plato's Republic is a holistic analysis of the beautiful, the good, and the just. This book provides a fresh interpretation of the Republic and a new understanding of philosophy as practiced by Plato and Socrates."Cryptic allusions, startling paradoxes, new questions . . . all work to give brilliant new insights into the Platonic text."—Arlene W. Saxonhouse, Political Theory

This comprehensive, historically organized introduction to philosophy communicates the richness of the discipline and provides the student with a working knowledge of the development of Western philosophy. With a lively and approachable style it covers the principal contributions of Western civilization's most influential philosophers. It provides ample detail without complicating minutiae. The text covers all periods of philosophy, lists philosophers alphabetically and chronologically on the end-papers, and features an exceptional glossary of key concepts.

This fresh outlook on Socrates' political philosophy in Plato's early dialogues argues that it is both more subtle and less authoritarian than has been supposed. Focusing on the Crito, Richard Kraut shows that Plato explains Socrates' refusal to escape from jail and his acceptance of the death penalty as arising not from a philosophy that requires blind obedience to every legal command but from a highly balanced compromise between the state and the citizen. In addition, Professor Kraut contends that our contemporary notions of civil disobedience and generalization arguments are not present in this dialogue.

1998 winner of the MEDAL OF BYZANTINE HUMANISM ANDPAIDEIA! What would happen if one of the most renowned figures of history, Socrates, came to New York and held a dialogue with threeintriguing New Yorkers: a scientist, a professor of philosophy and a theologian? In this book, Socrates In New York, Socrates debates with three modern scholars concerning the timeless and universal philosophical questions such as the nature of Justice, Love, Freedom, Knowledge, and in particular, God. Socrates reminds us that these enduring issues are as relevant, desirable, and applicable today in our modern scientific and technological environment, as they were in the philosophical days of ancient Greece. This book reveals the many similarities between Greek philosophy, based on the thinking of Socrates and Plato, and the One God-Old Testament theology of Hebrew thought. It connects the corresponding message of both Greek and Hebrew thinking to the New Testament life of Christ. Although Socrates lived 2400 years ago, his ideas continue to permeate human thought even today. The historical account of his trial and execution is the most widely read, following that of Jesus Christ. His words have stimulated the minds of many of the world's greatest figures, from Plato to Nietzsche, Augustine to C.S. Lewis, Freud to Martin Luther King. Socrates' ideas were millenia ahead of his time, on issues such as the intellectual equality of the sexes, which places him as an honored hero by women's rights advocates of today, or on his belief that the earth soins on its axis. The personalities of the characters Spock, McCoy and Captain Kirk, of the world renowned TV series Star Trek, are embodiments of his ideas, displaying Socratic philosophy not only to the intellectuals, but to the public in general. Today, in SOCRATES IN NEW YORK, we will encounter something which intellectuals for thousands of years have known with the help of Socrates: The nature and reality of God.
