Abstract

Der siebte Brief Platons ist der berühmteste Brief der philosophischen Weltliteratur. In ihm skizziert Platon, nur wenige Jahre vor seinem Tod (347 v. Chr.), Stationen seines Lebens und gibt einen Grundriss seiner Philosophie. Dies ist die einzige uns überlieferte Äußerung Platons über sich selbst und sein Philosophieren. Der sogenannte philosophische Exkurs des Briefes bringt die konstituierenden Elemente seines philosophischen Denkens komprimiert zur Darstellung. Vor dem Hintergrund der neuesten Forschung zum Siebten Brief geht die vorliegende Untersuchung von einem bisher übersehenen Ansatz aus. Denn insoweit die Welt der Erscheinung Abbild der Ideen ist, ist die Welt der Erscheinung Zeichen: Zeichen der Ideen. Da die Ideenlehre auch im Siebten Brief von axiomatischer Gültigkeit ist und hier der Begriff des Zeichens eine Schlüsselfunktion hat, unternimmt die vorliegende Untersuchung die Interpretation zum ersten Male unter dem Gesichtspunkt von Platons eigener Zeichentheorie, seiner Semiotik. Obwohl die semiotische Interpretation gemäß Platons eigener Denkvoraussetzung naheliegt, ist eine solche bisher in der Platonforschung in Bezug auf den Siebten Brief bislang nicht zur Anwendung gebracht worden.

Abstract

This study of Plato's ethics focuses on the concept of virtue. Based on detailed readings of the most prominent Platonic dialogues on virtue, it argues that there is a central yet previously unnoticed conceptual distinction in Plato between the idea of virtue as the supreme aim of one's actions and the determination of which action-tokens or -types are virtuous. Appreciating the 'aiming/determining distinction' provides detailed and mutually consistent readings of the most well-known Platonic dialogues on virtue as well as original interpretations of central Platonic questions. Unlike most examinations of Plato's ethics, this study does not take as its centrepiece the 'eudaimonist framework', which focuses on the relationship between virtue and happiness. Instead, it argues that the dialogues themselves begin with the idea of the supremacy of virtue, examine how that claim can be defended, and address how to determine what constitutes the virtuous action.

Abstract

Marina McCoy explores Plato's treatment of the rhetoric of philosophers and sophists through a thematic treatment of six different Platonic dialogues, including Apology, Protagoras, Gorgias, Republic, Sophist, and Phaedras. She argues that Plato presents the philosopher and the sophist as difficult to distinguish, insofar as both use rhetoric as part of their arguments. Plato does not present philosophy as rhetoric-free, but rather shows that rhetoric is an integral part of philosophy. However, the philosopher and the sophist are distinguished by the philosopher's love of the forms as the ultimate objects of desire. It is this love of the forms that informs the philosopher's rhetoric, which he uses to lead his partner to better understand his deepest desires. McCoy's work is of interest to philosophers, classicists, and communications specialists alike in its careful yet comprehensive treatment of philosophy, sophistry, and rhetoric as portrayed through the drama of the dialogues.
