Plato Bibliography 2013-2014 by Luc Brisson, CNRS Paris

Cette bibliographie, réalisée sur le modèle de celles de Lustrum, se réduit à deux listes: une liste des éditions et traductions des œuvres de Platon, et une liste de titres de travaux sur Platon et sur ses œuvres, classées par ordre alphabétique des noms d'auteur. Ces listes sont précédées d'un inventaire complet des sources: périodiques, actes de congrès, mélanges, recueils, inventaire auquel on se reportera pour localiser avec précision tous les articles énumérés. Cette bibliographie ne comprend cependant ni commentaire ni inventaire de comptes rendus ni index analytique. Mon but a été de dresser la liste la plus complète et la plus précise possible des travaux sur Platon et sur ses œuvres publiés en 2013 et en 2014. Il a cependant été tenu compte de tous les travaux antérieurs non mentionnés dans les précédentes bibliographies. Je tiens à exprimer ma gratitude envers Eric Rebillard, Directeur des services et publications numériques [...]

In ricordo di Giovanni Reale

Giovanni Reale è morto improvvisamente nella sua casa a Luino, vicino Varese, il 15 ottobre 2014. Era nato il 15 aprile 1931, aveva dunque 83 anni, ed era ancora impegnato in molti lavori; in particolare sui primi dialoghi platonici, una traduzione con commento che uscirà per Bompiani nel 2015. Tutti i giornali italiani hanno dato la notizia con ampio rilievo, perché Reale era molto conosciuto anche per prese di posizioni su alcune questioni molto scottanti (come quelle connesse alla bioetica e alla interruzione della vita per i malati in coma irreversibile) che avevano interessato l’opinione pubblica. Non riesco a parlare di Giovanni Reale senza iniziare, e poi senza chiudere, con alcuni dati personali, che mi legano al mio professore. Anche perché in questi ultimi anni abbiamo avuto anche modo e tempo di dichiararci entrambi ben contenti di come è andata questa nostra strana e complessa storia. Ho incontrato la prima volta [...]

Call for papers : A New Perspective on Plato and his Philosophical Methods

Posted by Naoya Iwata A New Perspective on Plato and his Philosophical Methods An International Conference for Young Researchers Kyoto University, JAPAN 20–21st March, 2015 Keynote Speakers: Sylvain Delcomminette (Université Libre de Bruxelles) Yasuhira (Yahei) Kanayama (Nagoya University) It is generally supposed that Plato’s philosophical methodology changed over the course of his carrier. In the early dialogues we see Socrates’ cross-examination, called elenchus, in search of definitions. The middle dialogues introduce Plato’s more constructive approaches in relation to the theory of Forms, such as the theory of recollection, the method of hypothesis, and ‘dialectic’. His methodological concern seems to be dominated in the later works by ‘collection and division’. In addition, we should not forget the role of myths in his philosophy. This conference aims to investigate how Plato’s distinctive philosophical methods are related or unrelated to each other, with a close analysis of the characteristics of individual approaches. Can we really [...]
