Abstract

Abstract:Crito cites his motivations to smuggle Socrates out of prison as concern for his friend and concern for his own reputation among the Many. Socrates, in his reply, refers only to the latter reason. The selectivity of this response does not draw comment from Crito, opening the door to an understanding that it is his reputation among the Many that is his primary—or even sole—concern. Taking a different approach, I suggest that Socrates' response reflects a complex relationship between Crito's two motives. This relationship, I argue, may remain relevant to law-breakers today. It can also shed light on wider questions concerning the dialogue as a work of philosophical literature from the early fourth century, on ancient Athenian democracy and the law-abiding, and eventually concerning the way to read such a treatise.

柏拉图《克里托篇》中的友谊与名誉

摘要:克里托将苏格拉底越狱的动机归结为对朋友的关心和对自己在众人中的声誉的关心。苏格拉底在他的回答中，只提到了后一个原因。这种选择性的回应并没有引起克里托的评论，打开了一扇门，让我们理解，他在众人中的声誉是他主要的，甚至是唯一的关注。换个角度，我认为苏格拉底的回答反映了克里托两种动机之间的复杂关系。我认为，这种关系可能与今天的违法者仍然相关。它还可以揭示更广泛的问题，关于对话，作为四世纪早期的哲学文献，关于古代雅典民主和守法，以及最终关于如何阅读这样一篇论文。
