Work in Progress Talks Series in Ancient Philosophy
A series with work in progress lectures on topics in Ancient Philosophy. This week's topic: Mariana Noe (Harvard) Title "Human Beings as Dependent Self-Movers in Plato’s Laws" Abstract In this talk, I argue that, in the context of the Laws, human beings are “Dependent Self-Movers.” We participate both in the “Self/Other movement” that characterizes souls and in the “Other Movement” associated with bodies. Given that Other movement is described as second-best and dependent, humans are partially dependent beings. This metaphysical aspect, I argue, has important ethical implications for humans: we are unable to attain perfect and stable virtue.
