1 Spring 2007 V , Collegiate Honors Seminar: Socrates and his Critics uesdays & hursdays... 2:00 p.m. 3:15 p.m...19 University Place, room 228 Professor Vincent Renzi 903C Silver Center Office Hours: Mondays, 2:00 3:00 p.m., hursdays, 10:00 11:00 a.m., and by appointment. Website: hematic Description Despite having written nothing himself, Socrates is among the most influential if not the most influential philosopher in the Western tradition, for it is with Socrates that philosophy seems first to move from natural history to an explicit concern for human affairs. Indeed, so great is the magnitude of this change that we continue to term those earlier thinkers pre-socratic philosophers. His stature is marked again in the name given to a distinctive form of philosophical literature, the Socratic dialogue, and an approach to philosophical inquiry and instruction, the Socratic method. In antiquity, his thought, importantly, inspired Plato, Xenophon, the Stoics, the Skeptics, and the Cynics, beyond those thinkers stretching to influence in Rome and Judea...and four centuries before the presumed time of Jesus, Socrates had already suffered martyrdom for his idiosyncratic political, philosophical, and religious views. In modernity, his exemplary life alternately fascinates and repels the attention of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche; though criticisms of his mode of existence he had already endured in his own time at the hands of the comedian Aristophanes, among others. Given the state of the evidence, one can look only to the history of the reception of his thought to try to recover any sense of the historical Socrates ; but we must likewise ask whether he does not perhaps exert a greater influence as a result of the reception of the doxography itself than for his actual intellectual contributions. In short, had Socrates never existed, would not the tradition essentially have had to create him, in its move from its origins to ethics and political philosophy? Even given that he did actually live, is what we have of him really just such a necessary fiction?

2 Socrates and his Critics Spring 2007 Overview As a collegiate honors seminar, this course seeks to introduce you to modes of scholarly research and inquiry. No prior background with the material is expected (of course a strong interest in the material is assumed), but students should have completed Conversations of the West and their Expository Writing course work. All readings will be in English translation, although students with the requisite ability are encouraged to select research project that will make use of texts in their original languages. he major work of each student will be a substantial research paper and an oral presentation to the seminar. Because Socrates wrote nothing himself, we rely entirely on the doxographical tradition for our knowledge about his life and thought. Our inquiry therefore highlights problems of scholarly method, thus making the focus on Socrates a fitting occasion for the intended introduction to research. he goals of this course are therefore several. Students should gain some specific knowledge of the history of philosophy, they should develop an appreciation of the special interpretive problems that arise in its study, they should sharpen their critical and analytic abilities as a result of working through the details of this material, and they should learn to conduct scholarly research in the humanities through completion of their own research projects. We shall begin by examining the use to which the figure of Socrates is put by two modern philosophers, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, in the process certainly learning more about them than him; but our interest here is precisely to measure the extent of the tradition s reception and development in these two influential and (relatively) recent thinkers works. Continuing in reverse chronology, we then shift to the ancient Socratic tradition as demonstrated by the Cynics, Xenophon, and Plato. Having taken account of these seminal figures, we move finally to consider the origins of the doxographical tradition and to an assessment of Socrates originality, recognizing full well the difficulty of recovering it. Students will be assigned a research topic based on the material to be covered each week and will make a presentation to the seminar on their research more or less preliminary, depending on how early the material falls in the schedule. While all the material should prove fruitful and engaging, you are certainly encouraged to volunteer your preference should there be a particular thinker or question you would like to consider. By midterm, you will complete a paper in which you review the major literature that will inform your research for the term. his will require you to look beyond the materials we shall be covering in class. You should therefore be sure to consult with me early in the semester about appropriate secondary literature. (I have given references for some likely candidates in the bibliography, below.) ogether, these assignments provide a structured approach to the paper you will complete by the end of the term. Requirements You are expected to read each of the works listed below, to attend all meetings of the seminar, to arrive at class promptly, and to participate actively and appropriately in class. Inclass writing exercises and brief homework assignments may also be required, as well as some supplemental reading. Finally, you will be required to make an oral report to the seminar, to submit a literature review at the midterm, and to complete a substantial research paper (15 20 pages, typed, double-spaced).
