Последние издания книг Бенджамина Джоуитта

The Phaedo is acknowledged to be one of Plato's greatest masterpieces, showing him both as a philosopher and as a dramatist at the height of his powers. For its moving account of the execution of Socrates, the Phaedo ranks among the supreme literary achievements of antiquity. It is also a seminal document for many ideas deeply ingrained in western culture, and provides one of the best introductions to Plato's thought.

This new edition is a revised version of the Clarendon Press translation, and is eminently suitable for readers new to Plato, and ideal for classroom use, thanks to the provision of Stephanus page and letter numbering.

Phædo or Phaedo (Greek: Φαίδων, Phaidōn), also known to ancient readers as On The Soul, is one of the best-known dialogues of Plato's middle period, along with the Republic and the Symposium. The philosophical subject of the dialogue is the immortality of the soul. It is set in the last hours prior to the death of Socrates, and is Plato's fourth and last dialogue to detail the philosopher's final days, following Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito.
One of the main themes in the Phaedo is the idea that the soul is immortal. In the dialogue, Socrates discusses the nature of the afterlife on his last day before being executed by drinking hemlock. Socrates has been imprisoned and sentenced to death by an Athenian jury for not believing in the gods of the state (though some scholars think it was more for his support of «philosopher kings» as opposed to democracy) and for corrupting the youth of the city.
By engaging in dialectic with a group of Socrates' friends, including the two Thebans, Cebes, and Simmias, Socrates explores various arguments for the soul's immortality in order to show that there is an afterlife in which the soul will dwell following death. Phaedo tells the story that following the discussion, he and the others were there to witness the death of Socrates.
The Phaedo was first translated into Latin from Greek by Henry Aristippus in 1160. Today, it is generally considered one of Plato's great works.

Euthyphro (Ancient Greek: Εὐθύφρων, romanized: Euthyphrōn; c. 399–395 BC), by Plato, is a Socratic dialogue whose events occur in the weeks before the trial of Socrates (399 BC), between Socrates and Euthyphro. The dialogue covers subjects such as the meaning of piety and justice.
The Euthyphro dialogue occurs near the court of the archon basileus (king magistrate), where Socrates and Euthyphro encounter each other; each man is present at the court for the preliminary hearings to possible trials.
Euthyphro has come to present charges of murder against his own father who, after arresting one of his workers for killing a slave from the family estate on Naxos Island, tied him and threw him in a ditch where he died of exposure to the elements without proper care and attention while Euthyphro's father awaited to hear from the exegetes about how to proceed. Socrates is astonished by Euthyphro's confidence in being able to prosecute his own father for the serious charge of manslaughter, despite the fact that Athenian Law allows only relatives of the dead man to file suit for murder. Euthyphro dismisses the astonishment of Socrates, which confirms his overconfidence in his own critical judgment of matters religious and ethical.

Федон – один из диалогов Платона. Назван по имени сократовского ученика Федона, основателя Элидо-эретрейской школы. Он и Эхекрат являются участниками диалога. Согласно диалогу, при казни Сократа присутствовали Федон, Аполлодор, Критобул с отцом, Гермоген, Эпиген, Эсхин, Антисфен, Ктесипп, Менексен, фиванцы Симмий, Кебет, Федонд, мегарцы Евклид и Терпсион.
Имея целью описать последний день жизни Сократа, диалог содержит его попытку доказать своим молодым ученикам, что его душа переживёт его тело и после смерти будет путешествовать по прекрасным местам.

Socrates defends himself in court in this resounding speech, recounted firsthand by one of history’s greatest philosophers.

Plato’s Apology is an account of the speech Socrates makes at the Athenian trial in which he is charged with not accepting the gods recognized by the state, inventing new deities, and corrupting the youth of Athens. Recounted by Plato, Socrates’s speech is a rousing examination of integrity, wisdom, and the role of a philosopher. It is filled with wit, intelligence, and lessons that remain relevant today.

Представляемый вниманию читателей перевод
Федона Платона был напечатан в первый раз
в Записках новороссийского университета (т. XIII, 1874 г.). В настоящем, втором, издании его он подвергся переработке настолько значительной, что положительно может считаться новым. Переводчик поставилъ себе целью при исправлении своего перевода придать ему возможно большую близость к подлиннику, между прочим и с внешней стороны, — со стороны выражения, манеры и приемов платоновской речи, чего по
местам не доставало переводу в первом его издании. Все наиболее трудные мнста греческого текста, составляющие нередко предмет разноречий и споров между комментаторами и издателями Платона, пересмотрены вновь—позволю себе сказать—весьма внимательно и некоторыя получили новое объяснение. Отделъ примечаній сокращен более чем на половину вследствие выпуска значительной части примечаний чисто филологического характера, как мало интересных для болшинства публики. Смею думать, что в этом новом
издании перевод одного из самых популярных
произведений Платона не будетъ лишен значения
для читателей, сознающих необходимость в ознакомлении по крайней мере с первостепенными
произведениями древних литератур.
