This study argues that to understand Socrates we must uncover and analyze his religious views, since his philosophical and religious views are part of one seamless whole. Mark McPherran provides a close analysis of the relevant Socratic texts, an analysis that yields a comprehensive and original account of Socrates' commitments to religion (e.g., the nature of the gods, the immortality of the soul). McPherran finds that Socrates was not only a rational philosopher of the first rank, but a figure with a profoundly religious nature as well, believing in the existence of gods vastly superior to ourselves in power and wisdom and sharing other traditional religious commitments with his contemporaries. However, Socrates was just as much a sensitive critic and rational reformer of both the religious tradition he inherited and the new cultic incursions he encountered. McPherran contends that Socrates saw his religious commitments as integral to his philosophical mission of moral examination and, in turn, used the rationally derived convictions underlying that mission to reshape the religious conventions of his time. As a result, Socrates made important contributions to the rational reformation of Greek religion, contributions that incited and informed the theology of his brilliant pupil, Plato.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Plato's Republic has proven to be of astounding influence and importance. Justly celebrated as Plato's central text, it brings together all of his prior works, unifying them into a comprehensive vision that is at once theological, philosophical, political and moral. The essays in this volume provide a picture of the most interesting aspects of the Republic, and address questions that continue to puzzle and provoke, such as: Does Plato succeed in his argument that the life of justice is the most attractive one? Is his tripartite analysis of the soul coherent and plausible? Why does Plato seem to have to force his philosopher-guardians to rule when they know this is something that they ought to do? What is the point of the strange and complicated closing Myth of Er? This volume will be essential to those looking for thoughtful and detailed excursions into the problems posed by Plato's text and ideas.…

McPherrana uwazana jest za najlepsza ksiazke, ktora zostala napisana jak dotad o objawieniu, religii w zyciu i filozofii tego filozofa Analiza religii Sokratesa autorstwa Marka L. McPherrana uwazana jest za najlepsza ksiazke, ktora zostala napisana jak dotad o objawieniu, religii w zyciu i filozofii tego filozofa. Mark L. McPherran, profesor Simon Fraser University.

McPherran przeciwstawia sie obrazowi Sokratesa jako konsekwentnego racjonalisty i dowodzi, ze wypowiadal on sady, ktorych zrodlem byla religia i ktorych nie dalo sie do konca uzasadnic scislym argumentem filozoficznym. prof.
