Is his exhortation to justice enough? Or must Socrates also show us how to be just?
This fierce accusation of Socrates by Cleitophon will capture the frustration you might feel when you read Plato's Socrates, when you want to love him, and justice, but you can't....
when you're tempted by the tangible benefits of injustice...
We have all heard of Plato's Republic. And there are other well known Platonic dialogues, like the Apology, Crito, Meno, and Symposium.
But Plato's shorter, lesser known, "forgotten" Socratic dialogues are also a treasure trove.
In this course, you will dive into Plato's Cleitophon, an accusation of Socrates that unfolds by asking whether he can succeed in making men just or whether he corrupts them instead.
Millerman walks you through Plato's Cleitophon in this recorded seminar. Study the accusation against Socrates of failing to teach people how to be just. Note: this course pairs particularly well with the Republic course.
