13Inequality, Intention, and Ignorance: Socrates on Punishment and the Human GoodIn Gerasimos Santas & Georgios Anagnostopoulos (eds.), Democracy, Justice, and Equality in Ancient Greece: Historical and Philosophical Perspectives, Springer Verlag. pp. 83-138. 2018.I examine here a wide array of interlocking Socratic doctrines, especially as they show up in the ideas of Socratic Ignorance and the Examined Life —along with such other Socratic claims as the following. First, that No one errs willingly. Second, that, in acting intentionally, everyone is always seeking their own greatest available good, given their present circumstances, where that greatest good is taken over the rest of their lives. Third, that those who don’t see that harming others will not…Read more

14Two notes on the Crito: the impotence of the many, and ‘persuade or obey’Classical Quarterly 47 (1): 153-166. 1997.So far, interpreters have not made the import of this last clause clear. F. J.

75Plato's LysisCambridge University Press. 2005.The Lysis is one of Plato's most engaging but also puzzling dialogues; it has often been regarded, in the modern period, as a philosophical failure. The full philosophical and literary exploration of the dialogue illustrates how it in fact provides a systematic and coherent, if incomplete, account of a special theory about, and special explanation of, human desire and action. Furthermore, it shows how that theory and explanation are fundamental to a whole range of other Platonic dialogues and in…Read more
