Sofista - Político - Apócrifos ou Duvidosos

by Plato, Carlos Alberto Nunes (Translator)

Tak jak sternik zawsze pilnuje tego, co pożyteczne dla okrętu i dla tych, co na okręcie, nie nadając ustaw pisanych - umiejętność jest dla niego prawem i tak ocala tych; co z nim płyną - tak samo pod rządami ludzi, którzy tak rządzić po­trafią, czy nie powstałby słuszny ustrój, gdyby dbali o to, żeby umiejętność miała siły więcej, niżby jej miały prawa? Cokolwiek by robili panujący rozumni, nie ma w tym grzechu, dopóki przestrzegają jednej ważnej zasady, żeby zawsze w stosunku do obywateli postępować najsprawiedliwiej - tak jak to rozum dyktuje i umiejętność, i przez to ich móc ocalać i poprawiać, o ile można.

About the author

Plato (Greek: Πλάτων), born Aristocles (c. 427 – 348 BC), was an ancient Greek philosopher of the Classical period who is considered a foundational thinker in Western philosophy and an innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms. He raised problems for what became all the major areas of both theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Platonic Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the doctrines that would later become known as Platonism.
Plato's most famous contribution is the theory of forms (or ideas), which has been interpreted as advancing a solution to what is now known as the problem of universals. He was decisively influenced by the pre-Socratic thinkers Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Parmenides, although much of what is known about them is derived from Plato himself.
Along with his teacher Socrates, and Aristotle, his student, Plato is a central figure in the history of philosophy. Plato's entire body of work is believed to have survived intact for over 2,400 years—unlike that of nearly all of his contemporaries. Although their popularity has fluctuated, they have consistently been read and studied through the ages. Through Neoplatonism, he also greatly influenced both Christian and Islamic philosophy. In modern times, Alfred North Whitehead famously said: "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato."

Não terminei os apócrifos.

[Troy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed the ontology that is is present in the sophist concerning being and non being as well as an underdeveloped form of divine conceptualism that would be properly fleshed out by Saint Augustine.
