Book Description
Excerpt from A Day in Athens With Socrates: Translations From the Protagoras and the Republic of Plato These dialogues have been brought together, not with the idea that they will afford any adequate conception of Plato's philosophy, - the outgrowth of the teachings of Socrates, - but because they embody one of the most vivid pictures which have come down to us of the age in which these men lived and taught. It would be hard, indeed, to find a more perfect illustration of the distinctive characteristics of any age than is contained in the dialogues of Plato. Painter and poet no less than philosopher, he borrows colour from the scenes which surround him, and finds voice for his loftiest theories in the conversations of the men with whom he is in daily intercourse. As we follow the drama enacting before us, we feel that the lapse of centuries forms no barrier between that age and our own. Only when the action is set aside for the extended consideration of some abstract theme, are we made aware that our want of familiarity with the intellectual standpoint of that day too often proves an obstacle to a clear apprehension of the argument. Some of these difficulties may perhaps best be met by a glance at the position occupied by the newer schools of philosophy in relation to those that had gone before.

Excerpt from A Day in Athens With Socrates: Translations From the Protagoras and the Republic of Plato Ethical problems, to solve which was the avowed object of this new school bf philosophy, but too frequently were abandoned for a training intended to ensure worldly success and fame; high ideals, sometimes even moral standards, were practically ignored; ability in discussion, facility of expression, came to be regarded not merely as helps to reach truth, but as the sole end of education, the greatest good of man.2 It is doubtless true that to class all the immediate predecessors of Socrates indiscriminately in one school is as unfair as to make their supposed method a mere synonyme for specious argument Also in their favour it should be remembered that an inestimable service was ren dered by these men in preparing the ground for Socrates himself, and through him for all subsequent philosophers. Had the doctrine that Man is the measure of all things not been proclaimed by Protagoras, the conclusion would less soon have been reached, that not only IS philosophy made for man, but that man also is made for philosophy; and that hence his bounden duty, nay, his privilege it is, to apply to each act of his life the test whereby the true may be separated from the false, the real from the unreal.
