Socrates and Plato. Tutor and pupil. Socrates sentenced to death, Plato establishing the first academy, drafting the outline and laws of an ideal state, giving us immortal descriptions of love as well as the cataclysmic end of a degenerate, brutal nation known as Atlantis … and, through his written dialogues where his demon Socrates is resurrected as his mouthpiece, eternally shaming the henchmen of his beloved teacher, comparing the process to “a physician tried in a court of little boys at the indictment of the cook”.Withdrawn, ethereal sages they were not. Socrates fought as a foot soldier in three great battles, saved the life of his friend Alcibiades and was praised by his general. Plato, in the cavalry, also saw action in the Peloponnesian War.This inseparable duo founded philosophy as we know it. Two millennia have revered them as giants of thought. Even in the twentieth century A. N. Whitehead stated that he could see no philosophy from the end of antiquities onwards that could not be labeled footnotes to Plato.Still, those who saw them as questionable company might not have been so far off.People engaging in their discussions were driven to despair, unable to decide whether the philosopher was in earnest or making fun of them. Some, exposed as empty heads rattling off, became mortal enemies. Others took their own lives in order to rejoin “the world of ideas” as quickly as possible.More than one Athenian family regarded Socrates the Gadfly and his avenger Plato as bad news. More than a dozen years after the execution of Socrates by poison, Plato was told: “the hemlock of Socrates is in store for you also.”PLATO AND HIS DEMON concentrates not only on forgotten or concealed gems in Socratic-Platonic thought, but also on the voices and timbres; capricious, poetic, ironic, sarcastic, even hateful, that reverberate through the dialogues.Far from harboring dispassionate, oracular words of wisdom, the texts come through as extremely personal expressions of minds that, when they chose to, could be lethally dangerous in a city-state that was already on the brink of military disaster.CARLOS WIGGEN, Doctor of philosophy and History of Ideas, also makes his PLATO AND HIS DEMON a personal statement on the art of interpretation and the present state of Humanities.

"On the God of Socrates" is a work on the existence and nature of demons, the intermediaries between gods and humans. This treatise was roughly attacked by Augustine of Hippo. It contains a passage comparing gods and kings which is the first recorded occurrence of the proverb "familiarity breeds contempt".Apuleius (/ˌ�pjᵿˈliːəs/; also called Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis and in Berber: Afulay c. 124 - c. 170 AD) was a Latin-language prose writer, platonist philosopher and rhetorian. He was a Numidian who lived under the Roman Empire and was from Madauros (now M'Daourouch, Algeria). He studied Platonism in Athens, travelled to Italy, Asia Minor, and Egypt and was an initiate in several cults or mysteries. The most famous incident in his life was when he was accused of using magic to gain the attentions (and fortune) of a wealthy widow. He declaimed and then distributed a witty tour de force in his own defense before the proconsul and a court of magistrates convened in Sabratha, near ancient Tripoli, Libya. This is known as the Apologia.His most famous work is his bawdy picaresque novel, the Metamorphoses, otherwise known as The Golden Ass. It is the only Latin novel that has survived in its entirety. It relates the ludicrous adventures of one Lucius, who experiments with magic and is accidentally turned into a donkey.

Tragic - but enlightening, for the philosophy that this 'gadfly of the Athenians' expressed before his death as a 'threat to the youth' is as fresh now as in fifth century Greece.

In the past quarter century, enormous philosophical attention has been paid to Plato's "Socratic" dialogues, as interpreters have sought to identify which dialogues are truly Socratic and interpret and defend the moral theories they find in those works. In spite of this intellectual energy, no consensus has emerged on the question of whether Socrates was a hedonist--whether he believed pleasure to be the good. In this study, George Rudebusch addresses this question and the textual puzzle from which it has arisen. In the Protagoras, Plato has Socrates appeal to hedonism in order to assert his characteristic identification of virtue and knowledge. While in the Gorgias, Socrates attributes hedonism to his opponent and argues against it in defense of his own view that doing injustice is worse than suffering it. From the Apology and Crito, it is clear that Socrates believes virtue to be the supreme good. Taken together, scholars have found these texts to be incoherent and seek to account for them either in terms of the development of Plato's thinking or by denying that one or more of these texts was meant to reflect Socrates' own ethical theory. Rudebusch argues instead that these texts do indeed fit together into a coherent moral theory as he attempts to locate Socrates' position on hedonism. He distinguishes Socrates' own hedonism from that which Socrates attacks elsewhere. Rudebusch also maintains that Socrates identifies pleasant activity with virtuous activity, describing Socrates' hedonism as one of activity, not sensation. This analysis allows for Socrates to find both virtue and pleasure to be the good, thus solving the textual puzzle and showing the power of Socratic argument in leading human beings toward the good. Tackling some of the most fundamental debates over Socratic ethics in Plato's earlier dialogues, Socrates, Pleasure, and Value will generate renewed discussion among specialists and provide excellent reading for courses in ancient philosophy as well as ethical theory.

Plutarch's dialogue "On the daimonion of Socrates" is a unique combination of exciting historical romance and serious philosophical and religious discussion: A narrator from Boeotian Thebes tells his Athenian friend how Thebes was liberated from Spartan domination in a fateful night of midwinter 379/8 BC and connects this with the retelling of a fascinating philosophical discussion about the famous daimonion of Socrates in the afternoon and evening before. Besides presenting an introduction, a revised Greek text, and a new English translation (with copious notes), the volume offers a range of essays on themes providing further insights into this masterly literary piece: on the historical, religious and philosophical background and on thematic connections with other works by Plutarch.
