Beschreibung

Platonis Euthyphro is a book written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, first published in 1890. The book contains a dialogue between Socrates and Euthyphro, a young man who claims to have knowledge of piety and impiety. Socrates questions Euthyphro's understanding of these concepts and challenges him to provide a clear definition. Throughout the dialogue, the two engage in a philosophical debate about the nature of piety and impiety, morality, and the role of the gods in human affairs. The book is considered a classic of Western philosophy and is widely studied in philosophy courses around the world. It offers valuable insights into the ancient Greek worldview and the development of philosophical thought, and remains a relevant and thought-provoking text for modern readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher born in Athens during the Classical period in Ancient Greece.In Athens, Plato founded the Academy, a philosophical school where he taught the philosophical doctrines that would later become known as Platonism. Plato, or Platon, was a pen name derived, apparently, from the nickname given to him by his wrestling coach - allegedly a reference to his physical broadness. According to Alexander Polyhistor, quoted by Diogenes, his actual name was Aristocles, son of Ariston, of the deme (suburb) Collytus, in Athens.Plato was an innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms in philosophy. He raised problems for what became all the major areas of both theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy. His most famous contribution is the Theory of forms, which has been interpreted as advancing a solution to what is now known as the problem of universals. He is the namesake of Platonic love and the Platonic solids. His own most decisive philosophical influences are usually thought to have been, along with Socrates, the pre-Socratics Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Parmenides, although few of his predecessors' works remain extant and much of what we know about these figures today derives from Plato himself
