At once poet and philosopher severe thinker and bold dreamer Greek in love of all life yet striving ever from the details that confuse to the unity that interprets Plato fulfills for every time the function of the great mind in relation to the world of common men With an hrt unequalled among philosophers through the characters f his dialogues he clothes his deepest dreams and highest wisdom in all the dramatic beauty and vitality of life while with an irony at once smiling and grave suggesting ever a deep below deep the master seems to rise behind his characters voicing ih lofty poetry his own highest thought and as that is his highest service so to share quietly his vision of life in wide relation is the final purpose of this course” Believing the students who once have this field opened up to them will want to study the subject furthtr Dr Griggs has made these suggestions to students: “Plato’s Dialogues furnish a text peculiarly available for earnest student work Aside from giving an unrivalled introduction to the whole of philosophy the study of Plato’s work is one of the most helpful forms of intellectual gymnastic accessible to the student Whatever be one’s estimate of Plato’s dialectic as a method the Dialogues are an unequalled instrument of mental discipline Thus the student should read actively not passively testing each step of the argument and its conclusions Plato then comes as instructive in his mistakes and imitations as he is luminatmg in his insight and wisdom “Jowett’s wonderful rendering of Plato is one of the few great masterpieces of English translation Virile and flexible in English style it is remarkably faithful to the spirit as well as to the literal form of Plato Every serious student who hopes to read and reread Plato should possess Jowett’s translation if not in the monumental last edition at least’ in the less expensive reprint of the t second edition “Modern scholarship has established with reasonable y the order of production of the more important works of Plato and to study them in this order gives an added Value in throwing light on the development of Plato’s mind and philosophy” “The course deals with Plato rather than with criticism and comment upon Plato Beginning the lighter tentative dialogues — the Charmides and the Laches-- indicating where Socrates left off and Plato began following with those writings that best interpret the life and mission of Socrates the Lysis Apology Crito and Phaedo studying thoroughly Plato’s masterpiece the Republic touching briefly the Law Plato’s last view of society showing the history of his own mind the course concludes with a study of those dialoues—the Phaedrus and the Symposium— which best illustrate the essentially Platonic in its influence on subsequent thought The aim is not only to present the thought of Plato in the great phases of life with which it deals — education morals art knowledge and the state — but in each aspect to point fully the illuminating applications to our own re-gr- I il-- in ( "proba-ailit- — life to-da- y “There is an added value in devoting such study to a world thinker who stands remote from out time and this not only because of the greater wholeness of Greek philosophy which expresses in union elements separately worked out in later thought but for a far deeper reason In the hurry of our active life little and great things surge in upon us in an overwhelming fcea while we have no standard by which we can distinguish the essential from the unimportant This lack of perspective with reference to the world that is nearest us is the source of the est error and confusion in both public and private life ThegreatSupreme value of intimate and loving contact with a great mind that saw life steadily and saw it whole” is in lifting us away from the submerging stream of petty events and giving us vision of the eternal and universal elements of life Perhaps beyond all others Plato aids us to this This handbook furnishes a table of the Dialogues arranged in groups in probable chronological order as shown in the admirable study of Lutoslawski This handbook will be an invaluable aid in reading Plato
