The Trial of Socrates 在线电子书 著者简介

I. F. Stone has been a journalist since 1922, when at the age of fourteen he launched a monthly, The Progress, supporting such causes as Gandhi's moves for freedom in India, and the League of Nations. After studying philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania, he worked on various newspapers in New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York, including The Nation and the New York Post. He is best known for his notoriously radical one-man Washington news-sheet, I. F. Stone's Weekly, which he ran for nineteen years before he was forced to close it just before Watergate, due to ill health.

One of Izzy Stone's favourites among many scoops was his discovery that underground nuclear tests could be detected thousands of miles away and not, as Eisenhower's administration held, simply within a radius of 200 miles. For many years he was denied a White House press card and was still being falsely branded recently be one British political weekly as a Marxist. "You shouldn't really have a party affiliation as a journalist," Stone (an admirer of Kipling) told an interviewer in the New Statesman in 1986, "but at the same time a journalist should do whatever his conscience tells him he should."

Always a campaigner for civil liberties, he had no intention of settling into docile domesticity after the demise of I. F. Stone's Weekly. Instead he acquired a computer with letters one third of an inch high, with which to overcome failing sight caused by cataracts, and embarked on a history of free speech. He was seventy (the same age as Socrates when he was brought to trial) before he decided to teach himself classical Greek. It took ten years to complete The Trial of Socrates

Stone is the author of eleven earlier books, including In a Time of Torment and The Killings at Kent State. He has lectured at many universities, including Oxford, Harvard and Yale, and has received awards from Princeton and McGill Universities for his forays into Athenian thought and politics.

The Trial of Socrates 在线电子书 图书描述

"Our attempt at a new understanding of the trial of Socrates will also become a fresh look at classical antiquity. It is our yesterday and we cannot understand ourselves without it." Thus Izzy Stone approaches the death of a secular saint and the decline of democracy in Athens four centuries before Christ.

Stone brings to his penetrating documentation of the missing prosecution case (which throws new light on Plato's eulogy) all the readability familiar to the 77,000 admirers of the radical I. F. Stone's Weekly. An uncompromising campaigner against McCarthyism and the Vietnam War, he set out to discover how a so-called free society, such as existed in Athens, could try and condemn to death its most renowned philosopher. Stone taught himself Greek the better to assess his primary sources --- Plato's dialogues, Xenophon's Memorabilia, Aristophanes, Aristotle and others. His portrait of Socrates is not flattering: Stone accuses him of snobbery, class prejudice and arrogance, and finds "the irrelevant standard by which to judge the competence of statesmen, tragic poets or shoemakers in their respective crafts." Yet he was the victim of a witch-hunt, for, as Stone shows all too clearly, the totalitarianism, political expedience and terrorism threatening the world today had their counterparts at the time of the Peloponnesian Wars. To Stone the shame of the trial is that a society famous for the citizen's right of free speech prosecuted a philosopher "for no other crime than exercising it".

"A marvellously vivid account ... a splendid sequel to I. F. Stone's Weekly." The New York Review of Books

"Stone has read the texts the way he did the Pentagon Papers --- with an eye for the significant detail and the latent connection." Atlantic Monthly

"There's so much more to this book than the conclusions he arrives at. The case Mr Stone makes is impressive, [his] scholarship is alive and engaging." The New York Times

The Trial of Socrates 在线电子书 读后感

评分

作者的所有研究倾向性都很强,他自始提出的问题其实出于他并未理解希腊社会的原始民主制度并不等同于现代意义上的民主制度。虽然他搜集了一些有价值的资料,但是因为这个关键的缺陷,全书并未得到令人信服的论点,并且把大量篇幅花在为雅典“民主”的辩护上。而没有真正弄...

买书如山倒,读书如抽丝。 有些书买来后就尘封在书架上。 《苏格拉底的审判》是这样错过的一本好书。 这本书为井底之蛙的我揭开了古希腊民主文化的神秘面纱的一角,让我诧异于那是一个多么灿烂的时代。我们现在所高喊的口号太多源于2000多年前爱琴海边的文...
