In this ten-session intensive postgraduate online seminar, we will undertake a close reading of Plato’s Republic, a book that transformed philosophy in general and political thought in particular. We will examine Plato’s theories of justice and knowledge. Focusing especially on dialectic, theory and practice, the origin and nature of political communities, and the relationship between the individual and the state, we will consider Plato’s theories of art and censorship.
Reading closely before class will be necessary. We will address one book of the Republic in each session and participation in class discussions will be essential.
Classes mainly on Wednesdays and Fridays
