4Philosophy as Drama: Plato’s Thinking through Dialogue (edited book)Bloomsbury Academic. 2019.Plato's philosophical dialogues can be seen as his creation of a new genre. Plato borrows from, as well as rejects, earlier and contemporary authors, and he is constantly in conversation with established genres, such as tragedy, comedy, lyric poetry, and rhetoric in a variety of ways. This intertextuality reinforces the relevance of material from other types of literary works, as well as a general knowledge of classical culture in Plato's time, and the political and moral environment that Plato …Read more

Aristotle on Plants: Life, Communion, and WonderIn Melanie Duckworth & Lykke Guanio-Uluru (eds.), Plants in Children’s and Young Adult Literature, Routledge. pp. 43-56. 2021.I show that Aristotle’s psychological hierarchy of vegetal, animal, and rational existence is not an exclusion of plants but a highlighting of their status as definitive of life. To the objector who replies that life is cheap in ancient thought, it will be demonstrated that plants are not just alive according to Aristotle, but exemplify completeness (in a way not available to, e.g., basic beings like grubs and certain insects). In fact, in us too it is the vegetative soul principle that ensures …Read more

12The Number of Rulers in Plato’s StatesmanPolis 37 (3): 435-448. 2020.This essay poses the question of how many rulers are envisaged in Plato’s Statesman. After pointing out that this is a crucial question for issues concerning non-ideal as well as ideal approaches to political rule, the essay focuses on three relevant aspects of rule in the Statesman: the notion of kingly rule, the limitations posed by human nature, and the importance of self-rule. It is shown how each of these dimensions of Plato’s discussion demonstrates the complexity of the question. Particul…Read more

5The Question of Methodology in Plato’s ProtagorasIn Olof Pettersson & Vigdis Songe-Møller (eds.), Plato’s Protagoras: Essays on the Confrontation of Philosophy and Sophistry, Springer. pp. 9-21. 2016.The Protagoras, one of Plato’s most entertaining and beloved works, is also among his most perplexing. Along with one or two other Platonic dialogues, the Protagoras has defied a unified reading—a reading that makes sense of the dialogue’s various parts as belonging to one whole. It is my aim with this article to suggest a new reading that allows us to see the unifying theme of the Protagoras. In doing this, I will identify a crucial asset of philosophical methodology when this is contrasted wit…Read more
