Read The Book Online

  • Yes, you can! Just click the image below for a full-screen page view. You can read the book online. Nice, flash-based interface. Very readable. You can also download this fine Plato text from the Issuu site itself. (That requires that you sign up for Issuu, but it's free and won't take but a minute.) If you download the PDF you will find that it is print-locked but otherwise fully functional.

About the Book

  • Politics and persuasion, reason and religion, science and success, appearance and reality, belief and knowledge, ethics and egoism. Reason and Persuasion provides a new look at old issues through the lens of three classic dialogues by Plato: Euthyphro, Meno and Republic, Book I. These dialogues appear here in fresh translations, by Belle Waring, with general introduction, commentary chapters and illustrations by John Holbo. The text is lively, accessible, and intended for use as an introduction to philosophy, but is substantive enough to be of interest to the more advanced students as well.

    Reason and Persuasion asks the question philosophers and non- philosophers have been asking each other, and themselves, from the start: why should I listen to you?

About the Authors

  • John Holbo is an assistant professor of philosophy at the National University of Singapore. He is married to Belle Waring, the translator, who got at MA in classics at the University of California, Berkeley. John's CV is here. Belle spends much of her time these days refurbishing vintage furniture. (Here are the pictures to prove it.) We blog at John & Belle Have A Blog. Also at Crooked Timber. John also blogs at the Valve. (Are you starting to see a pattern?) John is also publishing his webcomic, Squid & Owl, as a Flickr set. Updates daily.

About This Site

  • John Holbo is your webmaster and host. But I'm married to Belle so I can pass along questions and comments about the translations efficiently. We call it 'spousecasting'.

    I'm planning to maintain this blog as a permanent supplement/appendix to the book. It will contain updates, corrections, free teaching materials, links, that sort of thing. We're hoping to collect informal reviews and commentary on the text by others - by you, maybe. The formal sort are welcome, too, of course. One problem with introductions is that they are, well, too ... introductory in a lot of ways. They ignore stuff, proceed as if things are simple. That's their job. But I'm thinking it might be nice to collect a bunch of 'here's what Holbo leaves out of chapter 4' type pieces. It would be nice for me to be able to point students to that sort of thing.

Are you talking about how long it works or how long it is blaecttdee? A single use of Valium (diazepam) is typically blaecttdee (in urine) for 7-10 daysDiazepam has a half-life of 20-60hrs however diazepam breaks down into multiple active metabolites, particularly desmethyldiazepam (nordazepam). The average half-life of nordazepam is 30-100hrs. If you are talking about how long Valium works then it is typically about 4-6hrs.

I understand, I sleep walk (unsafely) on Ambian and Sonata. When I take my Xanax I have no eobrlpm. You can talk to your doctor, depends on your relationship with him. It is often abused so it's not really likely to be prescribed as a regular sleeping pill. And if you continue being prescribed Xanax for anxiety or panic attacks, take breaks from using it every night because you can build a tolerance. And then your doctor may cut you off if you are needing continually increased dosage or quantity.I do have another something, I take 1500mg of GNC's GABA (I don't like other brands I've tried). There are other herbs as well but personally haven't had much success with the others I have come across.There are some other prescriptions too that I have found, not specifically for sleeping but has that effect. Usually other anti-anxiety prescriptions.

10 mg of Valium (diazepam) is equal to 1 mg of Ativan (but everyone is dieefrfnt). So 20 mg of Valium would be equal to 2 mg of Ativan. One interesting things about benzodiazepines like Valium and Ativan is that most doctors really don't think about the bioequivalence of the drugs when switching between two medications.For example, the maximum dose of Ativan is 10 mg/day (but doctors can prescribe more). The maximum dose of Valium is 40 mg/day. And doctors might go above 40 mg of Valium but not to 100 mg, the equivalent to Ativan. Xanax is the worst, 0.5 mg of Xanax is equal to 10 mg of Valium. And the maximum dose of Xanax is also 10 mg, equal to 200 mg/day of Valium and that is not going to be prescribed.

, everybody shuold have the same health care he has as a Senator. We can let the dastardly rich people foot the bill! (never mind that upper income earners already pay a way disproportionate share of the load) Never mind that health care, like any other commodity cost real dollars out citizens' pocketsI browsed through the eco-dude's essay on education. I'm not so sure that it rings true for our challenge. Our kids are not going to destroy a rainforest .but they do need skills that will make them employable. Or, maybe not. Let's just elect all Democrats, and everybody can have everything they want whether they study in school or not.

this is a very healthy daolig. What is the purpose of our work in the innercity. Are we developing green citizens? self-actualized adults, literate life long learners, or what?I am starting to think that one of the qualities our students need to get in secondary school for sure, if not elementary as well, is a WORK ETHIC. This is a value that seems to be lacking in our kids and too many of our parents. If our students dont learn to value hard work, it will be a tough row to hoe when they are adults.Consider, if you will, the huge number of our kids who do not know their multiplication tables from memory. Why not? I propose one reason is that it takes more effort than they are willing to put forth. I am sure we can put forth deficits in every subject area that are due to not to bad teachers or standardized tests, but rather a poor level of effort.
