Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes Plato's writings from the early Socratic dialogues to the Republic. It articulates the evolution of Plato's ethical thought, focusing on the notion of virtue and the relationship between knowledge and virtue. The author argues that in Plato's early dialogues, virtue is primarily understood as a kind of practical knowledge or wisdom that enables individuals to achieve happiness. As Plato's thought developed, however, he came to view virtue as a more comprehensive concept that encompasses not only intellectual knowledge but also moral character and a commitment to living a good life. The book explores the implications of this shift in Plato's thinking for our understanding of ethics and the role of reason and morality in human flourishing. It provides valuable insights into the development of Plato's ethical thought and its enduring significance for ethical theory and practice.
