Abstract
Abstract:This article unsettles the traditional views about Sophocles' Philoctetes and Plato's Republic on the issues of noble lying and democratic rhetoric. I do this by delving deeper into 1) the Athenian democratic context in which both works are set or were staged, 2) the intertextualities between the two works, and 3) recent scholarship that reads both Plato and Sophocles against the grain of the traditional scholarship. This new reading allows us to understand Plato's infamous noble lie (gennaion pseudos) as a less anti-democratic teaching about ideal forms of rhetoric than it is normally taken to be.
期刊介绍：
The research on discrete event dynamic systems (DEDSs) is multi-disciplinary in nature and its development has been dynamic. Examples of DEDSs include manufacturing plants, communication networks, computer systems, management information databases, logistics systems, command-control-communication systems, robotics, and other man-made operational systems. The state processes of such systems cannot be described by differential equations in general. The aim of this journal, Discrete Event Dynamic Systems: Theory and Applications, is to publish high-quality, peer-reviewed papers on the modeling and control of, and all other aspects related to, DEDSs. In particular, the journal publishes papers dealing with general theories and methodologies of DEDSs and their applications to any particular subject, including hybrid systems, as well as papers discussing practical problems from which some generally applicable DEDS theories or methodologies can be formulated; The scope of this journal is defined by its emphasis on discrete events and the dynamic nature of the systems and on their modeling, control and optimization.
