Aiming at Virtue in Plato
Vasiliou, Iakovos (Executive Officer, Graduate School and University Center, New York and Brooklyn College, City University of New York)
This study argues that there is a prominent distinction in Plato between the idea of virtue as the supreme aim of one's action, and the determination of which action is virtuous. Appreciating this distinction leads to an alternative understanding of Socratic and Platonic ethics.
