Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. 12/6/21 Two volumes with all the dialogues and Jowett's introductions. Victorian English handles ancient Greek better from a rhetorical perspective--elaborate language sounds off in contemporary English. Also, this translation tends to show the literary quality of Plato's writing...and not to get too bogged down in the philosophical language Plato was trying to create out of ordinary Greek. Still my favorite translation. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
One of the leading scholars and academic administrators of his time, Benjamin Jowett (1817-1893) was Master of Balliol College as well as Regius Professor of Greek and, for a time, vice-chancellor at Oxford University. Along with his achievements in the area of academic reform, Jowett is remembered for this four-volume translation of Plato's dialogues. Characterising Plato as the 'father of idealism', Jowett reminds readers that while 'he may be illustrated by the writings of moderns ... he must be interpreted by his own, and by his place in the history of philosophy'. In this third volume, he includes six middle and late dialogues such as Gorgias, Parmenides, and the Statesman, each presented with a separate editorial introduction. Jowett's work represents a towering achievement in the field of classical and philosophical studies that had important influence on the subsequent study of Plato.
