Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the Ancient World, grade: A+, Johns Hopkins University, course: Western Political Philosophy, language: English, abstract: In this essay, Michael Ernest Sweet examines the concept of Plato's philosopher-king as found in "The Republic". Is the concept a paradox and a pragmatic impossibility, or is the concept a rhetorical device and a potent object of hope on the quest to uncover the meaning of justice? Perhaps Plato's aim in constructing such a paradox is to show us the impossibility of the perfect political regime?

This original treatment of medieval and Renaissance Jewish thinkers expands the scope of Jewish philosophy and adds new depth to our understanding of Jewish culture of the period. While medieval Christian political philosophy was based on Aristotle's Politics, Muslim and Jewish philosophy adhered to the Platonic tradition. In this book, Abraham Melamed explores a major aspect of this tradition—the theory of the philosopher-king—as it manifested itself in medieval Jewish political philosophy, tracing the theory's emergence in Jewish thought as well as its patterns of transmittal, adaptation, and absorption. The Maimonidean encounter with the theory, via al-Farabi, is also examined, as is its influence upon later scholars such as Felaquera, ibn Latif, Narboni, Shemtov ibn Shemtov, Polkar, Alemanno, Abarbanel, and others. Also discussed is the influence of Averroe's commentary on Plato's Republic, and the Machiavellian rejection of the theory of the philosopher-king and its influence upon early modern Jewish scholars, such as Simone Luzzatto and Spinoza, who rejected it in favor of a so-called "Republican" attitude.

Philosopher-Kings broke new ground on its first appearance by delivering to an audience accustomed to looking for flaws in Plato's thinking an interpretation of the Republic that celebrates the coherence of Plato's argument as it ramifies through every cranny of that controversial work. Reeve's book swiftly became a classic of Platonic scholarship and has never lost its grip. Its reissue by Hackett is a very welcome event. --G. R. F. Ferrari, University of California, Berkeley

From acclaimed, award-winning author Jo Walton: Philosopher Kings, a tale of gods and humans, and the surprising things they have to learn from one another. Twenty years have elapsed since the events of The Just City. The City, founded by the time-traveling goddess Pallas Athene, organized on the principles espoused in Plato's Republic and populated by people from all eras of human history, has now split into five cities, and low-level armed conflict between them is not unheard-of. The god Apollo, living (by his own choice) a human life as "Pythias" in the City, his true identity known only to a few, is now married and the father of several children. But a tragic loss causes him to become consumed with the desire for revenge. Being Apollo, he goes handling it in a seemingly rational and systematic way, but it's evident, particularly to his precocious daughter Arete, that he is unhinged with grief. Along with Arete and several of his sons, plus a boatload of other volunteers--including the now fantastically aged Marsilio Ficino, the great humanist of Renaissance Florence--Pythias/Apollo goes sailing into the mysterious Eastern Mediterranean of pre-antiquity to see what they can find—possibly the man who may have caused his great grief, possibly communities of the earliest people to call themselves "Greek." What Apollo, his daughter, and the rest of the expedition will discover...will change everything.

Concerned that their reign of power is nearing its end, the world's wealthiest men and women develop a plan to protect their lifestyle. After forming a secret group, led in part by the unpredictable Charles Benton, these men and women use their immeasurable wealth and power to eliminate jobs and promote fear, squeezing the economy, propagandizing the threat of war and minimizing concerns over global warming. Patiently, the group watches hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts and floods rip apart the country, waiting until public fear of the weather surmounts all other fears, and then offers its solution to save the world. The story follows Michael O'Sullivan, a scholar, football star and philosophical young man, as he leaves college and rents an apartment with his girlfriend, Susie, in Brooklyn, New York. From there, life goes quickly downhill for Michael. He loses his job with a local newspaper and, at Susie's insistence, becomes a stockbroker. Disenchanted, he sits one morning on his bed, deep in thought, contemplating his role in life, only to be stirred by the frantic shouts of teenage boys announcing an approaching disaster. Miraculously saved, Michael soon finds himself homeless, unemployed and without Susie. But Michael's life goes on, weaving in and out of Charles Benton's life until the climatic end of the story. An adventurous roller coaster, the Philosopher King is at once comical, fantastic and terrifyingly real.
