Call for papers – Plato and Xenophon: Comparative Studies

Plato and Xenophon: Comparative Studies Despite the prime importance of Plato, and the historical value and intrinsic interest of Xenophon, relations between these two students of Socrates remain a relatively unexplored area in contemporary research. We seek to fill this gap by building on valuable work that has been done recently in clarifying Xenophon’s philosophical positions and bringing his writings into closer relation with Plato’s. L. A. Dorion’s recently completed commentary on the Memorabilia and his just published volume of collected essays on Xenophon’ Socrates are among the prime examples of the recent flowering of studies on Xenophon and Xenophon’s Socrates. Their appearance provides us with an excellent opportunity to take stock of where the comparative study of Plato and Xenophon stands, and where we should take it from here. Our conference calls for papers that further this project by elucidating concepts found in Xenophon’s writings and bringing them into relationship [...]

Plato Bibliography 2012-2013 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, toutes deux 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 2012 et en 2013. Il a cependant été tenu compte de tous les travaux antérieurs non mentionnés dans les précédentes bibliographies. Je tiens à exprimer ma gratitude à l'égard de Sébastien Grignon qui m'a permis de consulter les épreuves du fascicule 82 [...]

However, we can observe that his dialogues are deeply embedded in the rhetorical tradition: in particular, the Apology of Socrates (forensic) and Menexenus (epitaphic). Speakers of the dialogues make much use of rhetorical skills to persuade others. Even the Gorgias and Phaedrus, the two main examinations of rhetoric, seem to propose the genuine art of rhetoric (which may be dialectic). In this conference, we would like to re-examine the notion and [...]
