About this ebook
Platon
Platon wird 428 v. Chr. in Athen geboren. Als Sohn einer Aristokratenfamilie erhält er eine umfangreiche Ausbildung und wird im Alter von 20 Jahren Schüler des Sokrates. Nach dessen Tod beschließt Platon, sich der Politik vollständig fernzuhalten und begibt sich auf Reisen. Im Alter von ungefähr 40 Jahren gründet er zurück in Athen die berühmte Akademie. In den folgenden Jahren entstehen die bedeutenden Dialoge, wie auch die Konzeption des „Philosophenherrschers“ in Der Staat. Die Philosophie verdankt Platon ihren anhaltenden Ruhm als jene Form des Denkens und des methodischen Fragens, dem es in der Theorie um die Erkenntnis des Wahren und in der Praxis um die Bestimmung des Guten geht, d.h. um die Anleitung zum richtigen und ethisch begründeten Handeln. Ziel ist immer, auf dem Weg der rationalen Argumentation zu gesichertem Wissen zu gelangen, das unabhängig von Vorkenntnissen jedem zugänglich wird, der sich auf die Methode des sokratischen Fragens einläßt.Nach weiteren Reisen und dem fehlgeschlagenen Versuch, seine staatstheoretischen Überlegungen zusammen mit dem Tyrannen von Syrakus zu verwirklichen, kehrt Platon entgültig nach Athen zurück, wo er im Alter von 80 Jahren stirbt.

Euthyphro
Characters
SOCRATES, EUTHYPHRO
Scene
The Porch of the King Archon
¹
Euthyphro: What are you doing at the courthouse, Socrates? [2] Why have you left the Lyceum? Surely you’re not taking legal action, as I am.
Socrates: It’s not an action, Euthyphro; indictment
is the word the Athenians use.
Euthyphro: What? Someone must have indicted you. I can’t believe that you have indicted someone else.
Socrates: Certainly not.
Euthyphro: Then someone has indicted you?
Socrates: Yes.
Euthyphro: Who is he?
Socrates: I hardly know him, Euthyphro; he’s not well known. He’s a young man named Meletus from Pitthus.
Perhaps you have seen him; he has long straight hair, a nose like a beak, and a downy beard.
Euthyphro: No, I don’t remember him, Socrates. What’s the charge?
Socrates: The charge? It’s a serious one, showing a lot of character in the young man. He shouldn’t be despised for that. He says he knows how young people are corrupted and who corrupts them. I suppose he must be a wise man who, seeing that I am anything but wise, has found me out and is going to accuse me of corrupting his young friends.
Our mother, the state, is to be the judge of this.
