Full textIt is only in "erotic matters" that Plato's Socrates is wise, or so he claims at least on several occasions, and since his Socrates makes this claim, it is necessary for Plato's readers to investigate the content of Socrates' wisdom about eros. This dissertation undertakes such an investigation. Plato does not, however, make Socrates' view of eros easy to grasp. So diverse are Socrates' treatments of eros in different dialogues and even within the same dialogue that doubt may arise as to whether he has a consistent view of eros; Socrates subjects eros to relentless criticism throughout the Republic and his first speech in the Phaedrus, and then offers eros his highest praise in his second speech in the Phaedrus and a somewhat lesser praise in the Symposium. This dissertation takes the question of why Socrates treats eros in such divergent ways as its guiding thread and offers an account of the ambiguity in eros' character that renders it both blameworthy and praiseworthy in Socrates' estimation. The investigation is primarily of eros in its ordinary sense of romantic love for another human being, for Socrates' most extensive discussions of eros, those of the Phaedrus and Symposium, are primarily about romantic love. Furthermore, as this investigation makes clear, despite his references to other kinds of eros, Socrates distinguishes a precise meaning of eros, according to which eros is always love of another human being. Socrates' view of romantic love is then assessed through studies of the Republic, Phaedrus, and Symposium. These studies present a unified Socratic understanding of eros; despite their apparent differences, Socrates' treatment of eros in each dialogue confirms and supplements that of the others, each providing further insight into Socrates' complete view. In the Republic, Socrates' opposition to eros, as displayed in both his discussion of the communism of the family in book five and his account of the tyrannic soul in book nine, is traced to irrational religious beliefs to which he suggests eros is connected. Socrates then explains this connection by presenting romantic love as a source of such beliefs in the Phaedrus and Symposium. Because eros is such a source, this dissertation argues that philosophy is incompatible with eros in its precise sense, as Socrates subtly indicates even within his laudatory treatments of eros in the Phaedrus and Symposium. Thus, as a source of irrational beliefs, eros is blameworthy. Yet eros is also praiseworthy. Despite his indication that the philosopher would be free of eros in the precise sense, Socrates also argues that the experience of eros can be of great benefit in the education of a potential philosopher. Precisely as a source of irrational religious belief, the erotic experience includes a greater awareness of the longing for immortality and hence the concern with mortality that Socrates believes is characteristic of human beings, and by bringing lovers to a greater awareness of this concern, eros provides a first step towards the self-knowledge characteristic of the philosophic life

My argument will take the following form. I will first establish in Chapters 2-5 (A) Nietzscheâ s ambivalence toward Socrates. Then, independently of that discussion, I will reveal in Chapter 6 (B) his ambivalence toward reason. The strict parallelism between these two manifestations of ambivalence in Nietzsche will permit me to make the claim that (B) explains (A). By this analysis I will demonstrate that Nietzsche is not only positive and negative in his assessments of both Socrates and reason, but that he is ambivalent to both for the same reasons. More specifically, for Nietzsche, Socratesâ emphasis upon dialectical reason as the one and only medium for attaining eudaimonia is ultimately nihilistic. It stands as a singular example of the variety of nihilistic practices that emphasize one perspective over all others; and to deny perspective, is, for Nietzsche, to deny life itself. Thus Nietzsche understands such practices, among which he includes Christianity, ethical objectivism, and Platoâ s metaphysics, as a misuse of reason. However, the appropriate use of reason involves experimenting with other modes of expression such as aphorisms, the performing arts, and poetry, which grant the individual as much moral and intellectual freedom as necessary so that they may affirm life in the manner they find most satisfying and rewarding. Hence, it is only through a thorough investigation of Nietzscheâ s view of reason that his ambivalence toward Socrates can be fully understood, namely, as a manifestation of his ambivalence to reason.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo apresentar alguns pontos que foram importantes para o processo de construção dramática da personagem de Sócrates nos diálogos de Platão. Sabemos, por intermédio de sua vasta obra, que o filósofo expressou o seu pensamento através de diálogos. Esse gênero literário foi influenciado por diversas expressões da cultura helênica, e pela poesia épica que em geral narra a trajetória de algum grande herói. No drama filosófico construído por Platão, a personagem de Sócrates desempenha esse papel dentro de uma boa parte de seus diálogos. Ele é considerado, pela maioria dos especialistas em Platão, como o seu principal porta voz. E a partir disso, surge a necessidade de se entender os motivos pelos quais levaram o filósofo escolher esse meio de expressão literário para desenvolver a sua dramaturgia filosófica em torno de uma das figuras mais enigmáticas da Filosofia antiga.
The present study aims to present some points that were important to the building process of the dramatic character of Socrates in Plato s dialogues. We know, through his vast work, that the philosopher expressed his thoughts through dialogue. This literary genre was influenced by various expressions of Hellenic culture, and by the epic poetry that usually tells the story of some great hero. In the philosophical drama constructed by Plato, Socrates’ character plays this role within a good part of his dialogues. He is considered, by most experts in Plato, as its primary spokesperson. And from this arises the need to understand the reasons which led the philosopher to choose this means of literary expression to develop the philosophical drama around one of the most enigmatic figures of ancient philosophy.

Full textABSTRACT
This essay concerns Christina Rossetti’s poem Goblin Market and its use in a Swedish upper secondary classroom. The purpose of this essay was to analyse the poem through a Marxist perspective and investigate how both the analysis of the poem and the poem itself could be used when teaching English to an upper secondary class.
This was done in two stages; firstly by analysing the Victorian society’s effect on Rossetti’s poem through a Marxist criticism perspective and secondly by using a specific pedagogic method called the Socratic Dialogue method when analysing the use of the analysis and the poem in the classroom.
When analysing the poem and how it has been affected by its contemporary society, it becomes clear that the poem provides a critique in several ways towards consumerism and social ideals of Victorian Britain. Concerning the use of the poem and the analysis in the upper secondary English classroom it is evident that the poem and the literary analysis combined provides an interesting view on Victorian Britain for the pupils to discuss while having Socratic seminars.

Resumo: Refatoração é o ato de modificar o código fonte de um programa de computador sem, contudo, modificar seu comportamento observável. Em outras palavras, é alterar a estrutura de um sistema de software sem que isso provoque qualquer efeito no resultado final de suas funcionalidades. As modificações são feitas visando deixar o código mais fácil de ser entendido por terceiros que venham a modificá-lo e, conseqüentemente, diminuir os custos de sua manutenção. Entretanto, esta atividade é complexa e sujeita a erros, uma vez que normalmente é realizada de forma manual e depende das habilidades e da obediência a padrões do mantenedor que está analisando o código. Os pontos do software onde refatorações devem ser aplicadas constituem oportunidades de refatoração. A construção de sistemas automáticos para a detecção de oportunidades de refatoração requer a implementação de ambientes para análise de código e de tratamento regras para identificação de padrões no código fonte. Este trabalho apresenta o SOCRATES ¿ Sistema Orientado a objetos para CaRacterização de refaToraçõES ¿ cujo objetivo é fornecer auxílio automático para a identificação dos pontos candidatos a serem refatorados, isto é, oportunidades de refatoração. Para atingir este objetivo, SOCRATES utiliza uma arquitetura leve. Essa arquitetura é baseada em ferramentas livres e disponíveis e requer pouca codificação adicional. A codificação adicional é utilizada para que as ferramentas trabalhem em conjunto e para que os algoritmos de identificação das oportunidades de refatoração sejam implementados de forma eficiente. A presente versão do SOCRATES identifica de maneira automática a oportunidade de refatoração parâmetro obsoleto e mostra que os conceitos arquiteturais utilizados são válidos
Abstract: Refactoring is the activity of modifying a computer program¿s source code without changing its external behavior. In other words, it consists of changing a software system¿s structure without affecting its functionalities. The changes are done in order to let the code more understandable for humans that might work on it. In this sense, its goal is to lower maintenance costs. Nevertheless, this activity is complex and error prone since it is usually carried out manually and is dependent on the maintainer¿s abilities and on his/her obedience to coding standards. The points of the software where refactorings should be applied are called refactoring opportunities. Building automatic systems to detect refactoring opportunities requires the implementation of environments which include source code analyzers and the treatment of rules to detect related patterns and standards. This work introduces SOCRATES ¿ Sistema Orientado a objetos para CaRacterização de refaToraçõES (Object Oriented System for Characterization of Refactorings) ¿ its main purpose is to automatically detect points to be refactored in the software, i.e., refactoring opportunities. To achieve this objective, SOCRATES is built upon a lightweight architecture. This architecture is based on open source tools and requires few additional coding. The additional coding was done to make the tools work together so that refactoring opportunities searcher algorithms could effectively work. The present version of SOCRATES identifies the obsolete parameter refactoring opportunity and shows that the architecture fundamentals used are valid

Se arguye que el Timeo (y en menor grado. las Leyes) sugiere fuertemente que sí lo creyó, aunque afortunadamente las consecuencias políticas que intirió de ello (en las Leyes) resultan positivas en lugar de negativas. Se arguye, por el contrario, que Aristóteles -aun cuando sigue manteniendo la teoría lamentable de la inferioridad de las mujeres-habla de diferentes quanta de (una y la misma) areté en las almas masculinas y femeninas, en lugar deuna diferencia en su misma areté.

Full textThis dissertation is an attempt to understand and assess the presuppositions and methods of classical political science. In the first of its two parts, the dissertation examines the meaning of the traditional view, held by authorities as far removed from one another as Cicero and Hobbes, that Socrates was the founder of political philosophy. It does so by considering the intellectual autobiography that Socrates famously delivers in Plato's Phaedo. Socrates turned to the study of pre-scientific, common-sense moral and political opinions only after he had rejected, as a very young man, both the materialist and the teleological natural science of his philosophic predecessors. It is the task of the dissertation's first part to show how the general revolution in scientific thought presented in the Phaedo, a revolution known as "the Socratic turn," laid the theoretical groundwork for classical political philosophy's characteristic focus on pre-scientific, common-sense moral distinctions. After examining "the Socratic turn," the dissertation then outlines in its second part the approach to the study of politics that Aristotle advanced on the basis of it. In particular, Aristotle's statements on the method of political science in book I of the Ethics are shown to rely on the basic insights obtained through "the turn."

Full textThis dissertation investigates how Socrates understands his trial. It is a well-known fact that Socrates is accused of impiety and corruption of the young and is subsequently executed. Unlike an ordinary defendant who is supposed to make every effort to be acquitted, Socrates, behaving provocatively, seems even to induce the death penalty. By reading Plato's and Xenophon's works, this dissertation clarifies his thoughts on the trial that must be the basis of his conduct and explains how he achieves his aim. To deal with Socrates' view of the trial as a whole, this study examines three questions. First, does he believe in his own innocence? I argue that before and even at the trial, Socrates does not intend to prove his innocence effectively. He does not reveal his belief clearly, but at least it is clear that to be acquitted is not his primary purpose. Second, what does Socrates want to achieve at the trial? Socrates' primary purpose is to demonstrate his virtue in public. His speech that provocatively emphasizes his excellence as a benefactor of the city enables him to be convicted as a wise and noble man rather than as an impious corrupter of the young. Third, why does he refuse to escape from jail? I argue that by introducing the speech that defends the laws of the city, Socrates makes himself appear to be a supremely law-abiding citizen who is executed even when escape is possible. This study maintains that Socrates vindicates his philosophy before the ordinary people of Athens by making a strong impression of his moral excellence and utility to others. His presentation of philosophy makes it possible that being convicted and executed are compatible with appearing virtuous and being respected. Socrates promotes his posthumous reputation as a great philosopher, and thus secures the life of philosophy after his death by mitigating the popular hostility against him and philosophy as such. Socrates' understanding of his trial leads us to his idea of the nature of philosophy and the city, and of their ideal relationship. This dissertation is therefore an introduction to Socratic political philosophy

Esta tese tem um propósito estratégico e um tático. O estratégico diz respeito a propor uma leitura dos chamados primeiros diálogos socráticos, que leve, tanto quanto possível, a uma maior preocupação com o aspecto literário dos textos em sua indissolúvel ligação com o conteúdo filosófico, tentando encontrar temas , e estratagemas discursivos que consubstanciem , na inédita e irrepetível narratividade filosófica platônica, a inextricável relação entre forma e conteúdo, literatura e filosofia, mímesis e denuncia da mímesis, relação esta que não pode ser resumida ou banalizada em perspectivas interpretativas que apenas concedem à dramaturgia e narratividade platônicas papel secundário, instrumental, na composição do corpus platonicum, entendendo os diálogos como mera forma literária de se expressarem doutrinas ou pensamentos filosóficos. Dentro desse enquadramento geral, pretende-se apresentar como as chamadas eironeía socrática e a ironia platônica podem ter-se constituído no único (ou pelo menos o mais perfeito) elemento de aproximação ou mesmo de identificação entre a visão dualista de mundo platônica – com suas perplexidades e até ambiguidades teóricas – e a construção de sua literatura , onde sobressai o personagem Sócrates , enigmático, atópico, paradoxal, enfim, tão aparentemente dúplice quanto possível para um ser humano. E nada como um procedimento comumente associado à ordem da retórica, ou seja, da literatura, - a ironia- para unificar o dualismo platônico e as ambiguidades de seu protagonista, Sócrates. Nesse processo, se verá como essa ironia, retirada de seu âmbito do meramente linguístico e apresentada como o elemento –síntese dos sokratikoì lógoi, será corpo (literatura) e alma (filosofia) da mais bela construção literário-filosófica do Ocidente plasmada pelo gênio de Platão. Por outro lado, do ponto de vista tático, a tese aborda a importância da distinção entre o uso que Platão faz da eironeía na sua acepção mais antiga na língua grega, de viés pejorativo, como engano, trapaça, dolo etc e encarna tal noção em seu protagonista Sócrates, e a noção moderna de ironia, que hoje reduzimos a mera figura de estilo ou de linguagem, que indica elegância , bom gosto e sofisticação no falar. Para tanto, estabelecemos uma controvérsia com Gregory Vlastos, na esteira da polêmica provocada por esse ilustre comentador de Platão, de que apresentamos os principais críticos, a propósito de sua noção de ironia complexa para dar conta das perplexidades na leitura dos diálogos decorrentes do uso multifacetado e fascinante do recurso da ironia. Esse movimento tático do debate é importante por ser Vlastos uma referência desde o último lustro do século XX sobre temas socráticos, sobretudo o conceito de ironia complexa e conhecimento elênctico. Além disso, tento avançar a hipótese de que seria exatamente a tendência da leitura de Vlastos no sentido de subestimar o papel da literatura no modo dialético de Platão fazer filosofia, e o privilégio quase absoluto que deu a um exame dos textos do fundador da Academia recortando-lhe de preferência seu dizer apofântico, de modo obstinada e exclusivamente analítico, em detrimento de uma contextualização dramática, tudo isso, enfim, redundou em uma leitura profundamente descontextualizada e anti-literária da obra do filósofo. Esta seria, ao meu ver, também a raiz de sua equivocada e limitada compreensão do misterioso personagem Sócrates, que em sua explicação, no esforço de elucidá-lo em sua evasividade e astúcias discursivas, termina por sobrecarregá-lo ainda mais de perplexidades invencíveis. No afã assumido de salvar Sócrates (que ele praticamente toma como apenas retratado em sua historicidade por Platão) de qualquer acusação de conduta sofística ou de uso de expedientes enganadores, Vlastos talvez o tenha submerso em ainda mais aporias do que ele próprio teria criado nos diálogos que protagoniza, na consumação de seu método de pe
This thesis has both an strategic and a tactical goal. The strategic goal has to do with proposing some reading of the so called early socratic dialogues that guides the reader, as much as possible, to a major concern with the dialogues literary aspects in its indissoluble connection with its philosophic contente, trying to find themes and discursive manoeuvres that may consubstantiate, in the unprecedented and unique platonic philosophic narrativity, the inextricable relation between form and content, literature and philosophy, mímesis and mimesis disruption at a time. This relation form/content in Plato shouldn t be abridged nor trivialized in interpretive views that just allow platonic dramaturgy and narrativity a secundary and instrumental role in the corpus platonicum composition, assuming the dialogues as a mere literary form for doctrines and philosophic thoughts being expressed. In this general frame, this thesis intends to show how the so called socratic eironeía and platonic irony may have beeen converted in the only (or t least the most perfect) element of approximation or even of identification between the Plato s dualistic view over the world – with all its puzzles and theoretical ambiguities – and the construction of his own literature, where his character Socrates stands out, as enigmatic, atopic, paradoxical, in a word, as dubious as possible for a human being. And there s nothing like a procedure commonly associated to rethoric field, that is, to literature, - irony – to unifiy the platonic dualism and the ambiguities of his protagonist, Sócrates. In this process, we ll see how this irony, withdrawn from its merely linguistic field and shown as the key-element of the sokratikoì lógoi, wil be body (literature) and soul (philosophy) for the most beautiful literary-philosophioc construction of western world, put together by Plato s genius. On the other hand, from tatics point of view, this thesis takes up the importance of the distinction between the use Plato gives to eironeía, in his most ancient meaning in greek, clearly derogatory, in a sense of trickery, deceit, fraud etc, and embody this connotation into his protagonits Socrates, and, in the other corner, the modern notion of irony, shrunken nowadays to mere tropos or figure of speech, something that depicts the tallker as someone elegant and refined with the words. In order to convey all that, I engaged myself into a controversy with Gregory Vlastos, putting myself in the middle of a well known polemic raised by this conspicuous commentator of Plato, whose most influent reviewers are presented here with respect to his notion of complex irony, in order to exhibit how many puzzlings the manifold use of the term eironeía could bring even to the best readers of the dialogues. This tactical moment of all that contention is relevant, once we know Vlastos to be a reference, since the last decades of twentieth century about socratic subjects, and mostly when it comes to his concepts of complex irony and elenctic knowledge. Furthermore, I try toi advance a hypothesis according to which it has been exactly the tendency of Vlastos to underestimate the role of literature in the dialectic manner of Plato deal with philosophy, and thealmost absolute priviledge given by Vlastos to comment on what is said by the characters in an apophantic way rather than taking heed to dramatic contextualization, all this, to my view,has resulted in a reading profoundly uncontextualized and not literary of the philosopher wrntings. That would be too the root of his misleading and limited comprehension of the isterious character Socrates, who in the Vlatos account, instead of clariflying and trying to expose the real motives for his evasiveness and discoursive trickeries, he finishes his analysis by overloadind Socrates with even more invencible puzzles. In Vlastos anxiety to save Socrates (who he takes to be the historic one) from any accusation of bewing sophistic or of using deceitful devcves in the elenchus, Vlastos perhaps had submerged the philosopher in

In second part you can find the empirical research of participants of project – teachers, which was aimed to identify teacher’s point of view to an influence of participating in project to their professional development. And in the end are presented conclusions and recommendations. The subject of this work is to explore the approach of teachers to the influence of Socrates/Comenius 1 projects to their professional development. This empirical research of project participants – teachers was organised on the basic of questionnaires. We have got 110 questionnaires good for analyses. With conclusion of this work we can say, that participating in the projects had strong influence for teacher’s professional development. Work in the project made richer teachers as well as students – many participants mentioned that. Majority of teachers improved their knowledge of foreign languages, abilities of using IT as well as management abilities extended their intercultural knowledge, products of projects they used in lessons. I also wanted to show, what kind of problems had participants of projects, and on the strength of their experience and information of literature sources, to give recommendations for present and future participants of international schools cooperation projects.

Full textSurely because he wrote nothing, Socrates is much written about. Immediately after his death in 399 B.C., a death felt as a tragic injustice, his pupils wrote dialogues to keep him alive. The so called "Socratic dialogues" were so flourishing that it makes Socrates go down in the world of litterary and philosophical muths. Modernity is however the time in which blossomed the lyths of Socrates, a secular saint, rival of Christ, herald of a morality called to do without God and priests, embodying the ideas of justice and freedom to the sacrifice. Theater is one of the favourite places, if no the perfect but difficult place where this myth is expressed. Heir of the socratic dialogues, the plays try out to philosophize on stage till finding the socratic inspiration which, trough the art of dialogue, invites each one to find himself

Full textUnlike the vast majority of the Platonic dialogues, which feature Socrates as the primary interlocutor, the conversation depicted in Plato's Sophist is led by a Stranger from Elea. While some scholars claim that Socrates' silence throughout the majority of the dialogue and Plato's replacement of Socrates with another philosophic protagonist imply an abandonment of Plato's "earlier," Socratic concerns, careful attention to the Sophist suggests otherwise. In fact, the Sophist appears to be one of the few places in the Platonic corpus where Plato chooses to have two mature philosophers (Socrates and the Eleatic Stranger) confront each other. Plato's dramatic chronology suggests that the conversation depicted in the Sophist takes place the day after Socrates has heard the indictment against him. Thus, the Sophist is part of the series of Platonic dialogues that portray the last days of Socrates--the days leading up to his trial and execution at the hands of the Athenian multitude. At the beginning of the Sophist, Socrates playfully describes the Eleatic Stranger as a cross-examining philosopher-deity who has come to evaluate and judge his philosophical logoi. Additionally, Socrates encourages the Eleatic Stranger to explain the relationship between the philosopher and the sophistic appearance that the philosopher takes on before the ignorant multitude. Socrates remarks imply that while the Athenian demos may not have genuinely understood him, a more accurate inquest can be made by a fellow philosopher. In fact, in the Sophist, the Eleatic Stranger indirectly interrogates the philosophical claims made by Socrates in a variety of other Platonic dialogues. However, the Eleatic Stranger does not simply valorize Socrates' approach to philosophy. While the Eleatic Stranger and Socrates often share similar interests, concerns and conclusions, the Eleatic Stranger is also highly critical of and offers alternatives to some of Socrates' characteristic logoi. In this way, Plato appears to stage a philosophical trial of Socrates in the Sophist--one that encourages his readers to think deeply about the true character of the philosophical life. This dissertation examines the similarities and the differences between Plato's Socrates and the Eleatic Stranger in order to shed light on Plato's own conception of the nature and limits of the philosophical life. It takes the form of a commentary on Plato's Sophist and highlights the conflicts between Socrates and the Eleatic Stranger. Special attention is paid to the Eleatic Stranger and Socrates' disagreements about philosophical methodology and philosophical ontology, both of which are highlighted by the Stranger's critical remarks about Socratic logoi. It is argued that Plato does not side either with the Eleatic Stranger or with Socrates. Instead of simply dismissing one of his philosophical protagonists, Plato encourages his readers to confront both and, thus, begin the investigation of the true nature of philosophy for themselves

Resumo: A pesquisa pretende apresentar as diferentes facetas de Sócrates no Nascimento da Tragédia, de Friedrich Nietzsche. Analisaremos, para isso, a interpretação nietzschiana da morte da tragédia pelo efeito da ação combinada de Sócrates e Eurípides e, principalmente, quais as conseqüências geradas por essa destruição, que vão muito além do campo da arte. Examinaremos como a arte era produzida instintivamente pelo grego antigo e como ela passou a ser produzida de modo consciente a partir de Eurípides, invertendo a relação que o grego antigo mantinha com a tragédia. Reconstituiremos as análises de Nietzsche sobre a oposição entre pessimismo trágico e otimismo teórico, sobre o papel da arte como transfiguração e superação do pessimismo, bem como sobre a relação entre otimismo socrático e modernidade. Levando-se em conta que Nietzsche não trata somente da figura de um Sócrates paladino da ciência, analisaremos a possibilidade de outra faceta da interpretação nietzschiana acerca do socratismo, bem como as implicações geradas por ela na relação estabelecida por Nietzsche entre arte e ciência. Merecerá ainda atenção especial a originalidade da leitura nietzschiana da Grécia clássica, assim como sua oposição à filologia acadêmica de seu tempo.
Abstract: The research aims to show the several faces of Socrates at Friedrich Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy. We will analyze, for this aim, the Nietzsche's interpretation of the death of the tragedy by the effect of the combined action of Socrates and Euripides and, mainly, what are the outcomes generated for this destruction, which don't comprehend only the scope of art. We also will analyze how the art was produced instinctively by the ancient Greeks and how it passed to be produced consciously by Euripides, so as to reverse the relationship which the ancient Greeks kept with the tragedy. We will reconstitute the analyses of Nietzsche about the opposition between tragic pessimism and theoretical optimism, about the function of the art like transfiguration and overcoming of the pessimism, like that about the relationship between Socratic optimism and modernity. Considering that Nietzsche doesn't treat just of the figure of a crusader Socrates of the science, we will analyze the possibility of another facet of the Nietzsche's interpretation about the socratism, besides the implications generated from it at the relationship established by Nietzsche between art and science. We will still pay attention to the originality of the Nietzsche's analysis of the classic Greece, and his opposition to academic philology of his period.
