Rereading Isocrates: Why does Socrates prescribe a divine impulse for Isocrates at the end of the Phaedrus?
No full textIn this thesis I argue that Plato’s reference to Isocrates at Phaedrus 279a-b attempts to represent the onto-epistemological differences between Platonic philosophy and Isocratean philosophy. Existing commentary on this moment in The Phaedrus tends to suggest either that Plato is insulting Isocrates or being optimistic about his potential conversion. I contend that Plato is realistically identifying the difference between their philosophies and naming that difference poetically, namely: as a “divine impulse” (ὁρμὴ θειοτέρα). My argument recognizes the rhetorical and philosophical implications of this phrase and attempts to explain why something divine, according to Plato, would help Isocrates to become a philosopher. In other words, I uncover what, for Plato, appears lacking in Isocratean philosophy. But I also show why, for Isocrates, this divine impulse is unnecessary
Gorgias and Isocrates’ Grave
No full textGorgias, the teacher of Isocrates, is rarely mentioned in Isocrates’ works and never in a flattering way. He is also presented, among other masters and poets, on Isocrates’ grave in a way that appears to be consistent with his pupil’s thought. Thus, the author of the iconographic plan of the grave may have been either Isocrates himself or someone who sufficiently knew his works and properly understood his tempestuous relationship with his master
Rectene Isocrates sophistis nonnumquam adnumeretur
Full text linkThe article addresses the question whether it is a proper opinion to consider Isocrates a sophist as many commentators claim. In his analysis the author refers to the passages in which the rhetor expresses his negative judgments about the opinions and actions performed by the sophists. The author examines also the circumstances in which Isocrates defends the members of this movement, as he finds it a beneficial way to protect also himself from many false and malicious statements. In conclusion, Isocrates is considered to have a unique status as a sophist and to be a philosopher who aspires to the role of the spiritual leader of the Greeks of that time.The article addresses the question whether it is a proper opinion to consider Isocrates a sophist as many commentators claim.

Isocrates\' Panathenaicus
No full textO presente texto trata do Panatenaico, de autoria do ateniense Isócrates. O discurso, inicialmente apresentado como um elogio de Atenas e uma censura a Esparta, destaca-se dentro da obra isocrática por conter, em seu final, um diálogo entre Isócrates e um de seus alunos. Depois de considerar as principais linhas interpretativas, procede-se a um exame e interpretação dessa seção. No próximo capítulo, abordam-se as declarações autobiográficas de Isócrates, usando-se para tanto da teoria retórica contemporânea quanto dos escritos isocráticos, mostrando seu caráter tópico. O objetivo é mostrar como Isócrates constrói uma imagem de si para ganhar a confiança de seu público. No final deste trabalho, apresentamos uma tradução em protuguês do Panatenaico.The subject of this text is the Panathenaicus, a work by the Athenian Isocrates. The speech at first presents itself as en eulogy of Athens and a reproach of Sparta. Great part of the interest in the text lies on the final section, where we find a dialogue between Isocrates and one of his ancient students. After reviewing the major interpretative lines, we proceed to an analysis and interpretation of the section. In the next chapter, the autobiographical statements of Isocrates in its works are analysed according the contemporary rhetorical theory and the author\'s own writings. Our aim in this section is to show that Isocrates\' self-description is a rhetorical proceeding intended to win over the readers. Finally, at the end of this work, it is presented a translation of the Panathenaicus
