Just Prospering? Plato and the Sophistic Debate about Justice

Beschreibung

Just Prospering? explores an important debate about the value of justice in Ancient Greece. Anderson begins with an analysis of the 5th Century BCE sophists and their novel philosophical debates about justice, before turning to Plato's Republic which, he argues, cannot be understood without attending to the sophistic dialogue.

Autor

Merrick Anderson studied Philosophy and Political Theory at the University of Toronto and received his PhD in Classical Philosophy from Princeton University, before taking up a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship at University College London. In 2024, he moved to Los Angeles to become an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern California's School of Philosophy. His research focuses on the moral philosophy of the Ancient Greek philosophers, especially the sophists and Plato, though he is broadly interested in the wider history of moral and political philosophy as well as certain topics in contemporary value theory.
