4. Introduction to Plato's Phaedo; Arguments for the existence of the soul, Part II
Death (PHIL 176) After a brief introduction to Plato's Phaedo, more arguments are offered in this lecture in defense of the existence of an immaterial soul. The emphasis here is on the fact that we need to believe in the existence of a soul in order to explain the claim that we possess free will. This is an argument dualists use as an objection to the physicalists: since no merely physical entity could have free will, there must be more to us than just being a physical object. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

3. Socratic Citizenship: Plato's Crito
Introduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114) In the Apology, Socrates proposes a new kind of citizenship in opposition to the traditional one that was based on the poetic conception of Homer. Socrates' is a philosophical citizenship, relying on one's own powers of independent reason and judgment. The Crito, a dialogue taking place in Socrates' prison cell, is about civil obedience, piety, and the duty of every citizen to respect and live by the laws of the community. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

6. Philosophers and Kings: Plato's Republic, V
Introduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114) In this last session on the Republic, the emphasis is on the idea of self-control, as put forward by Adeimantus in his speech. Socrates asserts that the most powerful passion one needs to learn how to tame is what he calls thumos. Used to denote "spiritedness" and "desire," it is associated with ambitions for public life that both virtuous statesmen as well as great tyrants may pursue. The lecture ends with the platonic idea of justice as harmony in the city and the soul. 00:00 - Chapter 1. The Control of Passions 08:53 - Chapter 2.

Introduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114) The discussion of the Republic continues. An account is given of the various figures, their role in the dialogue and what they represent in the work overall. Socrates challenges Polemarchus' argument on justice, questions the distinction between a friend and an enemy, and asserts his famous thesis that all virtues require knowledge and reflection at their basis. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

Clay sculpting tutorial - Plato's iPad
Visit www.studiorealism.com This is part of an online art project about how technology changes the way we interact with our world. The technology is the art in the project. Not the sculptures. "Plato's iPad", sculpted by Adam Reeder. This video is part of a series which constitute the next step in my "Socio- technic evolution" series. The videos in this series, and how they are used online, are artwork. I am creating these sculpture for the videos. It remains to be seen how these videos will be used and shared by others. "Socio- technic evolution" is about "how technology changes the way western culture interacts with it's world". I am allowing these videos of figurative sculptures to be experienced as I create them, from the beginning. These sculptures were not created for casting or to be sold as objects. My intention with this is that technology is allowing for a change in how people can interact with, and experience this representational sculpture.
8. Plato, Part III: Arguments for the immortality of the soul (cont.)
Death (PHIL 176) The lecture focuses exclusively on one argument for the immortality of the soul from Plato's Phaedo, namely, "the argument from simplicity." Plato suggests that in order for something to be destroyed, it must have parts, that is, it must be possible to "take it apart." Arguing that the soul is simple, that it does not have parts, Plato believes that it would logically follow that the soul is indestructible. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

Death (PHIL 176) Professor Kagan elaborates on the "argument from simplicity" and discusses in detail Plato's claims that the soul is simple, changeless and therefore indestructible. The final Platonic argument under discussion is the "argument from essential properties" in which the essential properties of the soul are addressed. At the end of the lecture the question of whether one needs to argue for physicalism is posed. 00:00 - Chapter 1. Assumptions Made in the Argument from Simplicity 05:56 - Chapter 2.

Plato Part 1
469 BC399 BC was a Classical Greek philosopher. Credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, in reality he is an enigmatic figure known only through other people's accounts. It is Plato's dialogues that have largely created today's impression of him.Perhaps his most important contribution to Western thought is his dialectic method of inquiry, known as the Socratic Method or method of "elenchus," which he largely applied to the examination of key moral concepts such as the Good and Justice. (428/427 BC[a] 348/347 BC)Plato was a Classical Greek philosopher, who, together with his mentor, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle, helped to lay the foundations of Western philosophy.Plato was originally a student of Socrates, and was as much influenced by his thinking as by what he saw as his teacher's unjust death.Perhaps the most dominant theme of Plato's dialogues is the search for certainty in knowledge.

Plato - Timaeus - Part 1/14
Timaeus (Greek: Τίμαιος, Timaios, pronounced [tímajos]) is one of Plato's dialogues, mostly in the form of a long monologue given by the title character, written circa 360 BC. The work puts forward speculation on the nature of the physical world and human beings. It is followed by the dialogue Critias. Speakers of the dialogue are Socrates, Timaeus of Locri, Hermocrates, and Critias. Some scholars believe that it is not the Critias of the Thirty Tyrants who is appearing in this dialogue, but his grandfather, who is also named Critias.

PLATO Learning System Software
On June 3, 2010, the Computer History Museum hosted a 6-session conference on the PLATO learning system. Session 3 was entitled "PLATO Software: Driven by a Clear, Compelling Challenge." Session 3 Description: The software architecture of the PLATO Learning System permitted high interactivity with hundreds of users and a TUTOR programming language that enabled faculty (and gamers) to write their own interactive graphics programs. These capabilities required close management of scarce system resources. Learn how it all worked in this discussion with panelists: Dr. Robert Rader, Dr. Bruce Sherwood and Michael Walker. Steve Gilmor moderated the panel. PLATO Overview: PLATO was a centralized, mainframe-based system, with very sophisticated terminals connected to it. Its mission was to deliver education electronically at low cost. But it became much, much more than that. It quickly became home to a diverse online community that represented a microcosm of today's online world. Much of what we take for granted in today's hyper-active, always-on world of social media, blogs, and addictive computer games could be applied to what life was like on the PLATO system beginning in the mid-1970s. PLATO, an acronym standing for "Programmed Logic for Automated Teaching Operations," started as a project of the Coordinated Sciences Laboratory (CSL) at the University of Illinois in 1960. The original goal was to build on the mechanical "teaching machine" work of BF Skinner and instead see if ...
