Study Notes
Plato’s Philosophy
- Plato believed that philosophy is best expressed through oral dialogue.
- Plato did not create systematic treatises, but rather dialogues that reflect the conversations and discussions that took place within his time period.
- Plato’s writings reveal his skepticism of his own theories by constantly revisiting and challenging them.
Plato and Myths
- Plato often employed myths to explain his beliefs about a variety of topics, even going as far as to invent or modify them to support his views.
- Plato considered myths as credible conjectures, similes, or allegories that could be helpful in understanding complex concepts.
- Plato views the use of myths as a way to explain intuitions that are difficult to conceptualize.
Early Dialogues
- Between 393-389 BC Plato wrote dialogues that fully reflected the work of Socrates.
- Plato’s early works implement the Socratic method to search for the definition of virtues.
- Plato's early dialogues include:
- Apology of Socrates (about the duty of a citizen)
- Crito (about the duty of a citizen)
- Hippias Minor (about truth vs. lies)
- Laches (about valor)
- Charmides ( about temperance)
- Lysis (about friendship)
- Euthyphro (about piety)
- Ion (about poetry)
- Protagoras ( about the possibility of teaching virtue and Socrates’ conception of virtue)
Transitional Dialogues
- Between 388-385 BC Plato wrote dialogues that were focused on political issues.
- Plato criticized democracy and the relativism of the Sophists.
- Plato’s transitional dialogues were influenced by Pythagorean thought.
- Plato’s transitional dialogues include:
- Gorgias (about rhetoric and justice, a criticism of democracy, and a myth about the soul’s immortality)
- Meno (about the immortality of the soul. )
Plato's Cosmology
- Plato believed in an active and intelligent cause known as the Demiurge (the Creator) that made the world, which represents all that is ordered, and opposes the idea that anything happens by chance.
- Plato’s model for understanding the Demiurge was based on Anaxagoras, who stated that order comes from an organizing intelligence.
- Plato believed that the Demiurge was a god with personal attributes in the sense that he had knowledge and desired and could create.
- The Demiurge represents the highest form of existence and acts according to a specific purpose: to create the best possible world.
- Plato believed that the Demiurge was responsible for the world and other beings by setting them in motion.
The Structure of the Cosmos
- Plato believed the world is made of matter, essence, a productive cause (the Demiurge), and an end goal – the best possible world.
- Plato believes there is a material form that is chaotic.
- Plato’s cosmos is not perfect because the material element introduces disorder and uncertainty.
- Plato viewed matter negatively.
- Plato believed that the cosmos is a living being with an eternal soul.
Plato’s Theory of the Soul
- Plato believed that the soul is superior to the body because it is connected to the world of ideas.
- Plato's theory about the soul emphasized that the soul is immortal and exists before, during, and after physical existence.
- Plato's theory about the soul sought to explain the ability to understand ideas.
- Plato felt that the soul could purify and free itself by remembering the world of ideas.
- Plato's theory of the soul also sought to explain the need to control the body’s desires and the possibility of a future reward for those practicing justice.
Knowledge and Perception
- Plato believed that knowledge is obtained through reason.
- Knowledge (episteme) requires a focus on the permanent, universal and necessary.
- Opinion or belief (doxa) is only obtainable through the senses and does not provide true knowledge about the world.
The Nature of Knowledge
- Plato believed that true knowledge comes from remembering the world of ideas.
- According to Plato, the human soul dwells in the world of ideas before being put into a physical body.
- When the soul inhabits a human body it forgets the world of ideas, but this forgetting is not absolute or final.
- Plato argued that learning is actually a process of remembering the eternal truths of the world of ideas.
Plato’s Theory of Love
- Plato believed that love was an emotional force that could elevate the soul and draw it towards the world of ideas.
Plato’s Perspective of Virtue
- Plato believed that virtue was a form of knowledge.
- Plato believed that knowledge of the world of ideas is necessary to practice virtue.
- Plato believed that virtue helps to liberate the soul from the bondage of the material world.
- Plato viewed virtue as a state of harmony within the soul, which included the rational soul, the spirited soul, and the appetitive soul.
Plato’s Metaphor of the Cave
- The metaphor of the cave represents the journey of enlightenment and the process of education.
- The escape from the realm of generation and becoming to capture the true essences of the world of ideas is made possible by the study of the four disciplines: arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and harmonics.
- Plato believed that these studies enable the soul to transcend the physical world and contemplate the eternal.
- The study of these four disciplines serves as a foundation for understanding the power of dialectic, which enables people to directly access the world of ideas.
- Plato believed that only those who can access the world of ideas are equipped to truly understand their essence.
- The Idea of Good is the foundational principle, the ultimate source and ground of all existence.
