plato's sisyphus

As part of the recent series of updates adding previously unavailable works and alternate translations to existing sections of the site, Plato's dialogue Sisyphus has been placed online.

plato's "on justice" and "demodocus"

Just a quick update to say that the Plato section of the site has been updated, and now contains two texts that were previously unavailable, "on justice" and "demodocus".

These and the other new texts added to the site over the last two days have not yet been proofread, but this will be done over the next few days, so if you notice any errors I'd be grateful if you could post a comment here or send an e-mail.

As part of the updates mentioned in the previous post, another set of alternate translations and new writings have been added to existing sections of the site.

Second, an alternate translation, by Robert Hicks, of Epicurus' Principal Doctrines has been placed online.

diogenes and zeno of citium

Two new sections have been added to the site today, detailing the lives and ideas of Diogenes of Sinope and Zeno of Citium. Although none of their writings survived to the present day, detailed biographies are available as part of Diogenes Laërtius’ “The Lives and Opinions of the Eminent Philosophers”, and anecdotes are found in the writings of their students.

New Facebook Page

Several people contacted me via Facebook about this website, so I have created a Facebook Page for its readers. Hopefully this will suffice until the forums can be recreated after they were lost in the server changeover this summer.

bertrand russell section updated.

The Bertrand Russell section of the site has been updated, with a more detailed index page and 17 new works added. Title graphics for the new works are missing, but will be added at a later date.
