Introduction

Archie, Andre

Pages: 3 –13

[Politics in Socrates’ Alcibiades provides a political and philosophical account of Plato’s dialogue Alcibiades Major. In this book I am going to argue that Socrates redirects Alcibiades’ political ambition to rule over the Athenian people by generalizing the notion of argument. Accordingly,...

Method and Structure in Plato’s Alcibiades Major

Archie, Andre

Pages: 15 –31

[“Method and Structure in Plato’s Alcibiades Major” evaluates Jaakko Hintikka’s claim that the interrogative model is compatible with the Socratic elenchos. After explaining the function of the interrogative model, I argue that Hintikka’s claim that Socrates lacks any sort of factual knowledge...

The Philosophical and Political Structure of Plato’s Alcibiades Major

Archie, Andre

Pages: 35 –53

[Given the ominous shadow cast by Alcibiades over Socrates’ trial, the scholarly assessment of Alcibiades Major’s deserves to be revisited. The aim of this chapter is to critically review the various treatments of Alcibiades Major among ancient, modern and contemporary scholars. It also seeks to...

Listen, Alcibiades

Archie, Andre

Pages: 55 –66

[The prominent role of women in the Spartan and Persian Speech in Plato’s dialogue Alcibiades Major has not been sufficiently appreciated. I remedy this by (1) laying out the context in which the speech is presented; (2) explaining what precisely the women of the speech say about Alcibiades’...

Archie, Andre

Pages: 87 –99

[“Eudaimonia: Happiness and Priorities in Plato’s Alcibiades Major and Plato’s Apology” argues that the principal themes of happiness and priorities found in Plato’s Alcibiades Major are also found in Plato’s Apology, rendering each dialogue a natural complement to the other. By first reading the...

Listening to Plutarch’s Alcibiades in Plato’s Alcibiades Major

Archie, Andre

Pages: 103 –121

[In “Listening to Plutarch’s Alcibiades in Plato’s Alcibiades Major,” I engage the ‘how to listen’ tradition by employing conceptual categories taken from Plutarch’s short treatise On Listening and applying them to Alcibiades Major. With a little detective work, I discovered that there are...

Conclusion

Archie, Andre

Pages: 123 –125

[Addresses the importance of informal arguments in Alcibiades Major, and why the dialogue is relevant to modern readers. My hope is that Politics in Socrates’ Alcibiades will engage a wide range of readers, including scholars, students of ancient Greek philosophy, decision theorists, political...
