Item description from seller

pp. 428-444 From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Cover light edged, author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise good and clean. - From the text: The textbooks of history of philosophy generally characterize the ethics of Socrates as intellectualistic and deterministic. If we are to believe them, for Socrates virtue equals science. A man is courageous when he knows what to fear and not to fear; self-control or moderation consists in the knowledge of the exact extent to which a man ought to follow or to resist his inclinations, and so on. He who knows about these or similar norms, or, to put it even more radically, he who is able to express, in a definition, the real nature of virtue in general, or of a particular virtue, has all that it takes to be a virtuous man. Moreover, such a person cannot do wrong; the right way of acting follows necessarily upon the right way of thinking. That is why Socrates conceptions are considered utterly paradoxical. In order to attenuate this paradox, the historians occasionally refer to an intellectualistic trend in archaic Greek ethics; they insist especially, however, on Socrates exceptionally strong moral personality: for his|righteous mind it was inconceivable that somebody should know the good and not do it. This traditional conception of Socrates position derives from Aristotle. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
