He argues that Plato's work expresses this kind of pluralism, and that this pluralism is important in its own right, whether or not we agree about what Plato's standpoint is.The longest tradition of Plato scholarship identifies crucial faults in Plato's theory of Ideas. Barris argues that Plato deliberately displayed those faults, because he wanted to demonstrate that basic kinds of error or illogic have dimensions that are crucial to the establishing of truth. These dimensions legitimate a paradoxical coordination of logically incompatible conceptions of truth. Connecting this idea with emerging currents of Plato scholarship, he emphasizes, in addition to the dialogues' arguments, the importance of their nonargumentative features, including drama, myths, fictions, anecdotes, and humor. These unanalyzed nonargumentative features function rigorously, as a lever with which to examine the enterprise of rational argument itself, without presupposing its standards or illegitimately assimilating any position to the standards of another.Today, communities are torn apart by conflicts within and between a host of different pluralist and absolutist commitments. The possibility developed in this book-a coordination of absolute and relative truth that allows an understanding of some relativist and some absolutist positions as being fully legitimate and as capable of existing in a relation to their opposites-may contribute to perspectives for resolving these conflicts.TruthCertaintyPluralismElectronic books.Truth.Certainty.Pluralism.121Barris Jeremy1053231MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457030703321The crane's walk2485029UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress02553nam 22005653u 450 991080918710332120230124193521.00-7486-9902-310.1515/9780748699025(CKB)3710000000561678(EBL)4306165(MiAaPQ)EBC4306165(DE-B1597)615053(DE-B1597)9780748699025(EXLCZ)99371000000056167820160118d2015|||| u|| |engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFear and the making of foreign policyEdinburgh Edinburgh University Press20151 online resource (226 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-7486-9901-5 Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- Chapter One.
