53RepublicOxford University Press. 1992.Republic is the central work of the Western world's most famous philosopher. Essentially an inquiry into morality, Republic also contains crucial arguments and insights into many other areas of philosophy. It is also a literary masterpiece: the philosophy is presented for the most part for the ordinary reader, who is carried along by the wit and intensity of the dialogue and by Plato's unforgettable images of the human condition. This new, lucid translation by Robin Waterfield is complemented by…Read more

15The Structural Unity of the ProtagorasClassical Quarterly 27 (3-4): 203-207. 1933.To speak of ‘the real subject’ or ‘the primary aim’ of a Platonic dialogue usually means to magnify one aspect of it at the expense of other aspects as important. Such is not my intention. It is quite clear, however, without prejudice to the philosophic value of any of the topics discussed, that the Protagoras is an attack upon the sophists as represented by Protagoras, the greatest of them. Hippias and Prodicus are present and some of the great man's glory is reflected upon them; they are also …Read more

61On the Authenticity of the Hippias MaiorClassical Quarterly 20 (3-4): 134-. 1926.Grote's powerful defence of Thrasyllus' canon should have taught us at least not to reject lightly any dialogue which, like the Hippias Maior, is there classed as genuine. The burden of proof lies with those who attack our dialogue. Raeder, Ritter, and Apelt consider it to be genuine, while Ast, Jowett, Horneffer, and Röllig declare against it, as also Gomperz, Zeller, and Lutoslawski

21The Marriage Laws in Plato's RepublicClassical Quarterly 21 (2): 95-99. 1927.The difficult and apparently inconsistent regulations by which certain marriages are forbidden in the Republic have not, it would seem, been consistently explained hitherto. It is the purpose of this article to prove that—if we read Plato's text without prejudice—marriages between brothers and sisters are nowhere prohibited, but expressly allowed; and that there are in the ideal city certain family groups, though I do not contend that any very great importance is to be attached to these

33Der Begriff der Schrift und die Frage nach der Forschung in der PhilosophieDeutsche Zeitschrift für Philosophie 55 (1): 81-96. 2007.Was ist philosophische Forschung, und was leistet sie in der modernen Wissenschaftslandschaft? Der Beitrag antwortet auf diese Fragen, indem er ein Resümee eines Forschungsprojektes zum Thema Schrift mit methodologischen Überlegungen verknüpft. Es wird, am Beispiel des Schriftbegriffs, ein in Anlehnung an Wittgenstein entwickeltes Verfahren vorgeführt, das geeignet ist, Begriffe so zu rekonstruieren, dass sie in ihrer Sachhaltigkeit und Unterscheidungsfähigkeit deutliche Kontur gewinnen

25Spur: Spurenlesen als Orientierungstechnik und Wissenskunst (edited book)Suhrkamp. 2007.Ist das Spurenlesen archaischer Restbestand eines \textgreaterwilden Wissens\textless oder läßt es sich in allen entfalteten Zeichen-, Erkenntnis- und Interpretationstechniken aufspüren? Wie kann das Spurenlesen vom Textlesen und vom Interpretieren sprachlicher und bildlicher Zeichen abgegrenzt werden? Bilden Spuren die Nahtstelle der Entstehung von Sinn aus Nichtsinn? Verbinden sie unsere Zeichenpraktiken mit der Dinghaftigkeit, Körperlichkeit und Materialität der Welt? Werden Spuren entdeckt o…Read more
