She highlights the differences between ancient and modern assumptions about Plato's ethics-and stresses the need to be more critical about our own.One of these modern assumptions is the notion that the dialogues record the development of Plato's thought. Annas shows how the Middle Platonists, by contrast, viewed the dialogues as multiple presentations of a single Platonic ethical philosophy, differing in form and purpose but ultimately coherent. They also read Plato's ethics as consistently defending the view that virtue is sufficient for happiness, and see it as converging in its main points with the ethics of the Stoics.Annas goes on to explore the Platonic idea that humankind's final end is "becoming like God"-an idea that is well known among the ancients but virtually ignored in modern interpretations. She also maintains that modern interpretations, beginning in the nineteenth century, have placed undue emphasis on the Republic, and have treated it too much as a political work, whereas the ancients rightly saw it as a continuation of Plato's ethical writings. 410 0$aCornell studies in classical philology ;$vVolume 57. 410 0$aCornell studies in classical philology.$pTownsend lectures. 606 $aPlatonists 606 $aEthics, Ancient 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPlatonists. 615 0$aEthics, Ancient. 676 $a170/.92 700 $aAnnas$b Julia$0153952 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463408103321 996 $aPlatonic ethics, old and new$9563002 997 $aUNINA
