Four Cultures Of The West
by John W. O'MalleyTHIS BOOK IS about four phenomena in the history of the West. I call them cultures. In illustrating their characteristics I make large use of my specialty, the history of Christianity. I have written the book for anyone interested in either of those two histories, which for long periods were in fact almost indistinguishable from each other. I have written it, therefore, for specialists, for students, and for the general reader. Specialists will be familiar with the persons, issues, and movements I discuss, but I hope that my approach will stimulate them to think about these subjects in a new way.
Four Texts on Socrates: Plato's Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito and Aristophanes' Clouds
by Thomas G. West Grace S. WestWidely adopted for classroom use, this book offers translations of four major works of ancient Greek literature which treat the life and thought of Socrates, focusing particularly on his trial and defense (three dialogues by Plato: Euthyphro, Apology of Socrates, and Crito) and on the charges against Socrates (Aristophanes' comedy Clouds). <p><p> This is the only collection of the three Platonic dialogues that also includes Clouds, a work that is fundamental for understanding the thought of Socrates in relation to the Athenian political community and to Greek poetry. Thomas G. West's introduction provides an overview of the principal themes and arguments of the four works. There are extensive explanatory notes to the translations. In their translations, the Wests capture successfully the simplicity and vigor of straightforward Greek diction. They strive for as high a degree of accuracy as possible, subordinating concerns for elegance and smoothness to the goal of producing the most faithful and most reliable English versions of these texts. <p><p> For this new edition, Thomas West has revised the introduction and updated the annotated bibliography, which includes the best of the secondary literature on Socrates and on the texts included in this book.
