The Argument of the Action: Essays on Greek Poetry and Philosophy

English

By (author): Seth Benardete

This volume brings together Seth Benardetes studies of Hesiod, Homer, and Greek tragedy, eleven Platonic dialogues, and Aristotles Metaphysics.

The Argument of the Action spans four decades of Seth Benardetes work, documenting its impressive range. Benardetes philosophic reading of the poets and his poetic reading of the philosophers share a common ground, guided by the key he found in the Platonic dialogue: probing the meaning of speeches embedded in deeds, he uncovers the unifying intention of the work by tracing the way it unfolds through a movement of its own. Benardetes original interpretations of the classics are the fruit of this discovery of the argument of the action.
