52Epicurus and FriendshipDialogue 28 (2): 275-. 1989.Ever since classical times, both Greek and Roman, friendship as a philosophical topic has been on the wane.

Alasdair McIntyre's overall thesis in After Virtue seemingly affords him with a ready interpretation. The progressive atomization of society, together with the concurrent growth of individualism that characterize…Read more

119On interpreting Plato's IonPhronesis 49 (2): 169-201. 2004.Plato's "Ion," despite its frail frame and traditionally modest status in the corpus, has given rise to large exegetical claims. Thus some historians of aesthetics, reading it alongside page 205 of the Symposium, have sought to identify in it the seeds of the post-Kantian notion of 'art' as non-technical making, and to trace to it the Romantic conception of the poet as a creative genius. Others have argued that, in the "Ion," Plato has Socrates assume the existence of a technē of poetry. In this…Read more

20Colloquium 5 Commentary on SchultzProceedings of the Boston Area Colloquium of Ancient Philosophy 30 (1): 142-155. 2015.The paper, although polemical for the most part, also presents a substantive thesis. The polemical part is directed at the claim that the Platonic Socrates held that philosophy as a practice is to be devoted to the care of self and others, and that the expression of emotion is an important aspect of the philosophic life. To undermine that claim, counter-examples from the autobiographical narrative in the Phaedo and the speeches of Diotima and Alcibiades in the Symposium are brought in. Once anal…Read more
