- W1489654635 abstract "To act well politically requires us to have the courage of our convictions, to not abandon them under duress. Or does it? Perhaps instead, as Nietzsche insisted, it is a matter of having the courage to abandon our convictions or even attack them. In this paper, I want to explore the task of political judgment that courage requires by examining Plato’s ambiguous (or ambivalent) presentation of the relation between reason and courage. At the beginning of Bk 2 of the Republic, Socrates refers to Glaucon’s “characteristic courage” in refusing to abandon the argument about justice. But what kind of courage is this, and what kind of fear? The contrast (in Bk 4 of the Republic) is between preserving “correct and law-inculcated belief[s]” and preserving the declarations of reason. This may seem an obviously Platonic distinction – but I argue that it is a distinction that is problematized by Plato’s own dramatization of the insufficiencies of reason. What then is the fear to which courage-as-preservation responds? And what sort of courage do Socrates’ own paradoxical commitments require? How can his readers make sense of the fact that Plato both insists on the priority of reason and also goes out of his way to underscore the faith-like quality of that insistence? Thinking through these questions does not give us any neat answers about when a steadfast commitment is required and when a critical abandonment. However, I hope such an examination can help us think about the kind of task political judgment is, what should be scary about it, and what we need to preserve as we engage that task and that fear." @default.
