SUMMARY:Old Dominion Series: Lycurgus\, Solon\, Charondas…Figuring the Legislator in Platonic Political Thought and its Aftermath
DESCRIPTION:In the second of the 2020-2021 Old Dominion Series\, Melissa Lane (Politics) gives a talk on “Lycurgus\, Solon\, Charondas…Figuring the Legislator in Platonic Political Thought and its Aftermath.” \nWere early Greek legislators seen as having invented the laws of their peoples ex nihilo? Against later discourses of founder-legislators in Machiavelli\, Rousseau\, and Nietzsche\, this lecture argues that classical Greeks themselves thought of their legislators as characteristically acting in media res\, working to amend preexisting laws and customs.   In their very elevation of the great legendary legislators\, Greek thinkers such as Plato presupposed that it would misunderstand the project of legislation to imagine that it could be done from scratch.  In this illustrated lecture\, I survey Greek ideas of the legislator and contrast them with later historical and theoretical appeals to this figure in the history of political thought. \nRegistration Link \nUpcoming Old Dominion talks: \nMarch 25\, 12:00 pmYaacob Dweck\, History; Judaic Studies“Rabbinic Reactionaries in the Sephardic Diaspora: Notes on a Social Type” \n\n\n\nApril 19\, 4:30 pmSusan J.
