柏拉图在美德的统一性问题上的矛盾立场及其缘由

The Ambivalent Position and its Reason of Platonic Unity of Virtue

美德的统一性问题是希腊哲学所重点讨论的哲学问题。在柏拉图那里,个人的美德具有一种统一性关系,但公民的美德却体现出一种各阶层具有专属于自身的特定美德的倾向。在美德的统一性问题上,柏拉图在个人美德与公民美德之间体现出某种矛盾性立场,其中缘由在于柏拉图在哲学上的二元论立场所带来的实践上的二元关怀。

The unity of virtues is an important Greek philosophical issue. For Plato, individual virtues were unified, but civic virtues tended to represent a specific social class. The ambivalent position of unified individual virtues with non-unified civic virtues in Plato＇s philosophy was due to platonic dualism.
