Popularne fragmenty
Strona 452 - ... strengthen himself, by something of an effort and a resolve, for the unprejudiced admission of any conclusion which shall appear to be supported by careful observation and logical argument, even should it prove of a nature adverse to notions he may have previously formed for himself, or taken up, without examination, on the credit of others.
Strona 407 - ... youths were receiving instruction : he was to be seen in the market-place at the hour when it was most crowded, among the booths and tables, where goods were exposed for sale : his whole day was usually spent in this public manner. He talked with any one, young or old, rich or poor, who sought to address him, and in the hearing of all who chose to stand by : not only he never either asked or received any reward, but he made no distinction of persons, never withheld his conversation from any one,...
Strona 236 - It was then proposed in the assembly that a committee of thirty should be named to draw up laws for the future government of the city, and to undertake its temporary administration. Among the most prominent of the thirty names were those of Critias and Theramenes. The proposal was of course carried. Lysander himself addressed the assembly, and contemptuously told them that they had better take thought for their personal safety, which now...
Strona 329 - Never probably will the full and unshackled force of comedy be so exhibited again. Without having Aristophanes actually before us, it would have been impossible to imagine the unmeasured and unsparing license of attack assumed by the old comedy upon the gods, the institutions, the politicians, philosophers, poets, private citizens specially named, and even the women, whose life was entirely domestic, of Athens. With this universal liberty in respect of subject, there is combined a poignancy of derision...
Strona 461 - The best man (he said), and the most beloved by the gods, is he who, as an husbandman, performs well the duties of husbandry ; as a surgeon, those of medical art ; in political life, his duty towards the commonwealth. But the man who does nothing well, is neither useful, nor agreeable to the gods." ' This is the Sokratic view of human life ; to look at it as an assemblage of realities and practical details ; to translate the large words of the moral vocabulary into those homely particulars to which...
Strona 354 - ... meaning, and were altogether distinct from, though grafted upon, the vague sentiment of dislike associated with it. Aristotle, following the example of his master, gave to the word sophist a definition substantially the same as that which it bears in the modern languages ; ' "an impostrous pretender to knowledge ; a man who employs what he knows to be fallacy, for the purpose of deceit and of getting money.
Strona 487 - This scheme was only prevented from taking effect by the decided refusal of Socrates to become a party in any breach of the law, — a resolution which we should expect as a matter of course, after the line which he had taken in his defence. His days were spent in the prison in discourse respecting ethical and human subjects, which had formed the charm and occupation of his previous life. It is to the last of these days that his conversation on the immortality of the soul is referred in the Platonic...
Strona 320 - All this abundance found its way to the minds of the great body of the citizens, not excepting even the poorest. So powerful a body of poetic influence has probably never been brought to act upon the emotions of any other population ; and when we consider the extraordinary beauty of these immortal compositions, which first stamped tragedy as a separate department of poetry, and...
Strona 349 - As the range of ideas enlarged, so the words, music, and musical teachers acquired an expanded meaning, so as to comprehend matter of instruction at once ampler and more diversified. During the middle of the fifth century BC at Athens, there came thus to be found among the musical teachers men of the most distinguished abilities and eminence ; masters of all the learning and accomplishments of the age, teaching what was known of astronomy, geography, and physics, and capable of holding dialectical...
Strona 492 - Socrates," so speaks the impartial voice of the modern historian, " was the reverse of a sceptic: " no man ever looked upon life with a more positive " and practical eye : no man ever pursued his mark " with a clearer perception of the road which he was " travelling : no man ever combined, in like manner, " the absorbing enthusiasm of a missionary, with the " acuteness, the originality, the inventive resource, and " the generalizing comprehension of a philosopher.
