About this product

Product Information

The best known of Plato's dialogues, The Republic applies the principles of philosophy to political affairs. Ostensibly a discussion of the nature of justice, it lays before us Plato's vision of the ideal state, covering a wide range of topics, social, educational, psychological, moral and philosophical. It also includes in the process, some of Plato's most important writing on the nature of reality and the theory of the 'forms'. Plato is critical of Athenian democracy, which had been responsible for the execution of his friend, and teacher, Socrates, and his political ideas, as expressed in The Republic, started lines of thought which are still relevant today. This translation was first published in 1955 and revised in 1974 and 1987. The translator died in 1993.

An art critic responds via art to the existentialism in Plato’s Republic.
Christiansen’s complex and very involved sculpture “Filtered Perception” erupts conceptually in a many-tiered perspective of the contemporary experience that synonymously addresses the limitations of all of humanity. It is a sculpture on a grand and theatrical scale. A group of four male figures are created of an inner core of urethane foam with a urethane resin coating and an exterior of colloidal silica slurry incorporated with silica sand for a form that looks solid, rigid, stone-like, with a mineralesqe white finish. Their frames measured in direct proportion to Christiansen’s own, the figures are identical. Each stiffly rendered figure wears a suit; each has a frozen face. A tarnished brass shackle on their left foot binds each to a chain. The men are prisoners, they are slaves. ... Christiansen’s complex and very involved sculpture “Filtered Perception” erupts conceptually in a many-tiered perspective of the contemporary experience that synonymously addresses the limitations of all of humanity. It is a sculpture on a grand and theatrical scale. A group of four male figures are created of an inner core of urethane foam with a urethane resin coating and an exterior of colloidal silica slurry incorporated with silica sand for a form that looks solid, rigid, stone-like, with a mineralesqe white finish. Their frames measured in direct proportion to Christiansen’s own, the figures are identical. Each stiffly rendered figure wears a suit; each has a frozen face. A tarnished brass shackle on their left foot binds each to a chain. The men are prisoners, they are slaves. To what, is the question Christiansen is addressing. Where in Plato’s scheme there would be shadows on the wall, Christiansen places a vintage video camera that displays a sequence of arbitrarily chosen segments of the popular visual media. The implications are expansive. The work functions like a piece of theater complete with its own conclusion. The four men are completely homogenous and represent humanity in general, or, what Christiansen believes is the result of the leveling and distorted impact the popular media has on humanity. Where the humanist Plato would have appreciated the potential and individuality in each unique person, with great potential and capabilities “Filtered Perception” has an implication that this humanist vision has been lost, that because, as Plato signified, we are limited in our sphere of reference, we draw our meaning from artificial sources, like popular visual media, to compensate for truth. As the visual media perpetuates its ideology we in turn perpetuate it further by allowing it to take the place of truth, to form our thinking, to solve our problems, and define existence for us. There is a happy conclusion, however. To the side of the quartet is a fifth white figure, like the rest but for one difference: he wears a purple mask in the Venetian carnival style. He stands at the foot of a giant white stalagmite, while another video camera, connected to the first, films him. In Plato’s allegory, the figures were eventually freed, and as they left the cave they found that their entire construct of existence had been completely false and that there is a pure reality that exists beyond their fragmented conception of shadows. In Christiansen’s work this is represented by the arbitrary imagery of the first camera with a measly cord being the only connection to reality recorded by the second camera. This masked figure wears the mask as he has seen reality and in fact stands before it, represented by the stalagmite. He has transcended the media, has found truth and defined his unique existence. The sculpture suggest that even in mortality a taste of pure reality can be discovered by living authentically. As people make their own choices, decide their own thoughts and define what existence means to them individually, they are freeing themselves from the shackle by ending the controlling and polluting didacticism of the media. It is a sculpture of caution, mystery, hope, possibility and the kind of humanism that Plato advocated.
