What emerges is a picture of human nature that bears a striking resemblance to SocratesвЂ™ own, laughable depiction, one inspired by Dionysus, but one that remains ultimately intractable. Laughter in the dialogues-both explicit and implied-suggests a view of human nature as incongruous with ourselves, simultaneously falling short of, and superseding, our own capacities. Socrates introduces a form of self-reflective laughter that encourages, rather than stifles, philosophical inquiry. Sonja Madeleine Tanner argues that in PlatoвЂ™s dialogues Socrates plays a comical hero who draws heavily from the tradition of comedy in ancient Greece, but also reforms laughter to be applicable to all persons and truly shaming to none. Yet his dialogues abound with puns, jokes, and humor. Plato was described as a boor and it was said that he never laughed out loud. Plato S Laughter written by Sonja Madeleine Tanner and has been published by SUNY Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on with PHILOSOPHY categories.Д¬ounters the long-standing, solemn interpretation of PlatoвЂ™s dialogues with one centered on the philosophical and pedagogical significance of Socrates as a comic figure.

The magnificent literary achievement of the dialogues can be fully appreciated only from the viewpoint of a unitarian reading of the philosophical content. Whereas the traditional view sees the dialogues as marking successive stages in Plato's philosophical development, we may more legitimately read them as reflecting an artistic plan for the gradual, indirect and partial exposition of Platonic philosophy. This book offers a new interpretation of Plato's early and middle dialogues as the expression of a unified philosophical vision.
