The essays in Speeches for the Dead, a volume devoted exclusively to topics and problems in the interpretation of Menexenus, seek to uncover the intellectually serious takeaways of the dialogue, largely by presenting readings that account for and reconcile its several manifest oddities. The volume grew out of a 2014 University of Pennsylvania Philosophy Department workshop at which seven of the nine papers were presented (one was commissioned afterward), but the volume’s first chapter is a programmatic reprint of Charles H. Kahn’s influential 1963 article “Plato’s Funeral Oration: The Motive of the Menexenus”. Gehört zu Verlagsreihen
The Menexenus, in spite of the dearth of scholarly attention it has traditionally received compared to other Platonic texts, is an important dialogue for any consideration of Plato's views on political philosophy, history, and rhetoric - to say nothing of the dialogue's contribution to the study of civic ideology and institutions, natural law theory, and Plato's notion of race. Speeches for the Dead unites the contributions of scholars working on diverse aspects of the dialogue, growing out of a one-day workshop on the same subject at the University of Pennsylvania organized by the editors. In offering a variety of perspectives on the Menexenus, the volume is the very first of its kind in any language. In addition, the volume contains an up-to-date bibliography of scholarship in English, French, German, and Italian. This makes the book a definitive guide and ideal starting point for advanced students and scholars looking for further information about the dialogue. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
