1 School of Arts & Humanities Department of Philosophy 7AAN2026 Greek Philosophy I: Plato Syllabus Academic year 2015/16 Basic information Credits: 20 Module Tutor: Dr Tamsin de Waal Office: Rm 702 Consultation time: TBC Semester: 1 Lecture time and venue: Mondays 16:00-18:00, 605 Philosophy Building, Strand Campus Module description This course is designed to give students an overview of key topics in Plato s epistemology and metaphysics, and, more generally, to guide students in how to approach Plato s dialogues. The course will place emphasis on close reading and critical analysis of the primary texts (in translation), introducing students to different interpretative strategies, as well as to key debates in the secondary literature. Central questions will be: What is knowledge on Plato s account? What is the distinction between knowledge and belief? What are forms? What are forms for? What is the role of the form of the good? How do we attain the good? Can we attain the good? A focus throughout will be how Plato s epistemology shapes his metaphysics and vice versa, and the relation of epistemology to ethics in Plato. The course will cover a range of texts, including the Meno, Phaedo and Parmenides, focusing in particular on the Republic. The course will consist of a weekly one-hour lecture immediately followed by a one-hour seminar. Each week a different student will be asked to give a short presentation to start off class discussion. All students are required to prepare the set primary and secondary reading for each week, and should bring a copy of the relevant dialogue, as well as a copy of the secondary reading, to all seminars. Students are also encouraged to look at the further reading. With respect to the primary reading, if you want all the Plato works collected together: J.M. Cooper and D.S. Hutchinson, eds., Plato: Complete Works (Hackett 1997). There are also numerous editions of individual texts. The great advantage of these is that they often have very useful introductions. Two good translations of the Republic are: G.M.A. Grube, Plato, Republic (Hackett, 1974; rev. 1992). T. Griffith, Plato, The Republic, ed., G.R.F. Ferrari (CUP 2000). 1
2 Students are encouraged, though not required, to take this module in conjunction with 7AAN2027 Greek Philosophy II: Aristotle in the second semester. Assessment methods and deadlines Formative assessment: Two essays of words each. First essay due: 16:00 on Friday October 30 th Second essay due: 16:00 on Friday December 11 th Summative assessment: A two-hour exam. Suggested essay questions FIRST FORMATIVE ESSAY Is the Socratic method essentially negative? Answer with reference to the Apology and Meno. What role does the theory of recollection play in Socrates's response to Meno's paradox? Does the account of knowledge and belief at the end of Republic Bk V differ from the account we get in the Meno? If so, how? And what problems, if any, does the Republic account present? Why does Plato postulate forms? Answer with reference to the Phaedo. SECOND FORMATIVE ESSAY Explain and critically assess the role of the form of the Good. Aristotle claims that Plato posits intermediate mathematical objects, as well as forms and sensible objects. On what grounds does Aristotle make this claim, and what evidence is there in Plato to support it? Does Republic VI-VII present problems for this claim? How, on Socrates account in the Republic, is studying mathematics an aid to attaining the Good? Should the critique of forms in the Parmenides persuade Socrates to abandon the theory? Outline of lecture topics (plus suggested readings) Week One Sept 21 st : Introduction to Plato and the dialogue form. Suggested reading: M.M. McCabe, Form and the Platonic Dialogues in H.H.
