42. On Plato’s Criticism Of Democracy
    Essay accepting plato's observations of the weaknesses of democracy, but recognizing that the weaknesses can be minimized.  
    http://web.singnet.com.sg/~chlim/plato.html
    
    Extractions: In this essay I shall argue that while Plato has successfully shown the inherent weakness of democracy in its potential to collapse into tyranny, he has failed to recognise that this weakness can be minimised, and hence I don’t share his low opinion of democracy. Before I begin my discussion of Plato’s argument for the inherent weakness of democracy in The Republic , I have to clarify what is meant by ‘democracy’ in this context. By ‘democracy’ Plato is not referring to modern democracy, which he would have perceived as alien. Nor is he referring to the democracy of Athens in this argument. In this argument, Plato characterises democracy as being ‘the extreme of popular liberty’, where ‘slaves - male and female - have the same liberty as their owners’ and where there is ‘complete equality and liberty in the relations between the sexes’ (563b). Democracy as the ‘extreme of popular liberty’ is further illustrated as follows: ‘Then in democracy,’ I went on, ‘there’s no compulsion either to exercise authority if you are capable of it, or to submit to authority if you don’t want to; you needn’t fight if there’s a war, or you can wage a private war in peacetime if you don’t like peace; and if there’s any law that debars you from political or judicial office, you will none the less take either if they come your way. It’s a wonderfully pleasant way of carrying on in the short run, isn’t it? ‘In the short run perhaps.’

    http://www.island-of-freedom.com/PLATO.HTM
    
    Extractions: Plato was born to an aristocratic family in Athens. His father, Ariston, was believed to have descended from the early kings of Athens. Perictione, his mother, was distantly related to the 6th-century B.C. lawmaker Solon. When Plato was a child, his father died, and his mother married Pyrilampes, who was an associate of the statesman Pericles. As a young man Plato had political ambitions, but he became disillusioned by the political leadership in Athens. He eventually became a disciple of Socrates, accepting his basic philosophy and dialectical style of debate: the pursuit of truth through questions, answers, and additional questions. Plato witnessed the death of Socrates at the hands of the Athenian democracy in 399 B.C. Perhaps fearing for his own safety, he left Athens temporarily and traveled to Italy, Sicily, and Egypt. In 389 B.C. he founded the "Academy" in Athens, the institution often described as the first European university. It provided a comprehensive curriculum, including such subjects as astronomy, biology, mathematics, political theory, and philosophy. The main purpose of the Academy was to cultivate thought to lead to a restoration of decent government in the cities of Greece. Pursuing an opportunity to combine philosophy and practical politics, Plato went to Sicily in 367 to tutor the new ruler of Syracuse, Dionysius the Younger, in the art of philosophical rule. The experiment failed. Plato made another trip to Syracuse in 361, but again his engagement in Sicilian affairs met with little success. The concluding years of his life were spent lecturing at the Academy and writing. He died at about the age of 80 in Athens in 347 B.C.

We may, however, for convenience, distinguish: (a) Dialectic Christian philosophers. The emphatic affirmation of a supermundane, spiritual order of reality and the equally emphatic assertion of the caducity of things material fitted in with the essentially Christian contention that spiritual interests are supreme.

Acknowledgments The PLATO system was designed for Computer-Based Education. But for many people, PLATO's most enduring legacy is the online community spawned by its communication features. PLATO originated in the early 1960's at the Urbana campus of the University of Illinois. Professor Don Bitzer became interested in using computers for teaching, and with some colleagues founded the Computer-based Education Research Laboratory (CERL). Bitzer, an electrical engineer, collaborated with a few other engineers to design the PLATO hardware. To write the software, he collected a staff of creative eccentrics ranging from university professors to high school students, few of whom had any computer background. Together they built a system that was at least a decade ahead of its time in many ways. PLATO is a timesharing system. (It was, in fact, one of the first timesharing systems to be operated in public.) Both courseware authors and their students use the same high-resolution graphics display terminals, which are connected to a central mainframe. A special-purpose programming language called TUTOR is used to write educational software.

56. Plato's Republic
    The Republic, however, is the supreme product of plato s most mature years, thought, It contains virtually the entire universe of plato s philosophy.  
    http://www.friesian.com/plato.htm
    
    Extractions: Republic Plato usually wrote relatively short pieces, like the Euthyphro Meno , etc. In all his writings there are only two book length works, the Republic and the Laws . The Laws was the last thing Plato wrote, at eighty, and it is a grim and terrifying culmination of the totalitarian tendencies in his earlier political thought. It is also pretty dull, since Plato had all but abandoned his earlier lively dialogue format. The Republic , however, is the supreme product of Plato's most mature years, thought, and style. It contains virtually the entire universe of Plato's philosophy. The word "republic" is from Latin: Res publica means "public matters" or "the state." In Greek, the title was the Politeia , which means the Constitution . But the Republic does not start out about politics. It is initially a familiar kind of Socratic dialogue about justice, just as the Euthyphro is about piety and the Meno is about virtue. The Republic is divided into ten Books. Each of these was originally what would fit onto one papyrus scroll. [By late Roman times, the scrolls were cut up and sewn together into codices , or the kind of bound books that we continue to use.] The entire first Book of the
