Collective choice in Aristotle
In his Politics VI 3, 1318a–b, Aristotle discusses constitutional procedures for achieving justice in a society where its classes have different views on it. He analyzes the case of a society consisting in two groups, the poor and the rich, each holding a specific understanding of justice (democratic or oligarchic). In this paper we give, first, a non-formal summary of this section of Politics. Then we approach it in the framework of social choice theory and argue that a social rule for selecting between alternatives may be extracted from it. As Aristotle argued, this rule is consistent with the views on justice and equality of the supporters of both democracy and oligarchy. Finally, we study its properties, as well as some extensions of it when multiple classes are allowed or more than two alternatives are present.

Alexandru Dragomir: Portrait of the Solitary Philosopher
Between 1933 and 1939 Alexandru Dragomir studied philosophy and law at the University of Bucharest. In 1941 he was awarded a Humboldt Fellowship which allowed him to enroll as a doctoral student at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, under the supervision of Martin Heidegger. In 1943 he was drafted into the Romanian armed forces and left Freiburg without a degree. In Romania, under the communist regime, he could not pursue an academic career. He died in 2002 without publishing anything. His work has been published posthumously in five volumes by Humanitas Press. Two of the volumes have been published in French translation by Jean Vrin Press: Banalités métaphysiques [Metaphysical Banalities] (2008) and Cahiers du temps [The Time Notebooks] (2010). This paper offers an overview of Dragomir’s personality and work, with an emphasis on his The Time Notebooks–his lifelong research on the nature of time (English and German translations of this volume are forthcoming). In these notebooks he develops his own views on time and comments on the classical philosophical texts that deal with the subject.

Alexandru Dragomir : Portrait du philosophe en solitaire
RésuméAprès des études de droit et de philosophie à l’Université de Bucarest (1933-1939), Alexandru Dragomir part à Fribourg-en-Brisgau comme doctorant de Martin Heidegger. Il y reste deux ans ; en 1943 il est rappelé en Roumanie et envoyé au front. Après la guerre, sous le nouveau régime, il ne peut pas poursuivre une carrière universitaire. Il meurt en 2002 à Bucarest sans avoir rien publié. Ce n’est qu’après sa mort que ses cahiers sont découverts et publiés. L’œuvre de Dragomir comprend cinq volumes, parus à Bucarest, aux Éditions Humanitas. Deux sont parus en traduction française chez Vrin : Banalités métaphysiques (2008) et Cahiers du temps (2010). Cet article présente sa personnalité et son œuvre, notamment les Cahiers du temps, qui renferment la recherche de toute sa vie. Dragomir y développe sa propre théorie sur la nature du temps, tout en faisant des commentaires des textes classiques de la philosophie qui portent sur ce sujet. Des traductions en allemand et en anglais des Cahiers du temps paraîtront bientôt. AbstractBetween 1933 and 1939 Alexandru Dragomir studied philosophy and law at the University of Bucharest.

Plato and the Poets (review)
Seven chapters focus on the Republic and address a variety of issues: the ancient quarrel between philosophy and poetry (Glenn W. Most); Plato's criticism of poetry and his negative attitude toward women (Penelope Murray); mimêsis as appearance-making (Gabriel Richardson); the meaning of mimêsis (Jera Marusi?c); Plato's criticism and appreciation of poetry (Stephen Halliwell); thumos and the criticism of poetry (Pierre Destrée); painting, poetry, and the cognitive division of the soul (Rachel Singpurwalla). The remaining nine chapters deal with other dialogues, although they are often discussed in connection with the Republic; the topics they discuss include: theia moira, enthousiasmos, and mimêsis in Gorgias (Fritz-Gregor Herrmann); divine possession, inspiration, and mimêsis in Ion and Republic (with references to Plato's entire corpus, Catherine Collobert); the poet and the rhapsode as hermêneus in Ion (Carlotta Capuccino); the poet, the mad lover, and the mad philosopher as the true interpreter in Ion and Phaedrus (Francisco Gonzalez); inspiration and Plato's psychology in Ion, Phaedrus, Politicus, Philebus, Timaeus (Stefan Büttner); theia moira in Ion and Meno, and the poets' incomplete ascension in Symposium (Dominic Scott); Plato's use of poetry and poets in Symposium (Elizabeth Belfiore); poetry and image-making in Republic and Sophist (Noburu Notomi); and poetry, the tripartition of the soul and the Form of Beauty in Phaedrus (Elizabeth Pender).

The Image of a Second Sun: Plato on Poetry, Rhetoric, and the Technē of Mimēsis (review)
Plato distinguishes between dramatic and nondramatic poetry, and his criticism of poetry is directed at the techne- of mime-sis, namely at the \"widespread, uncritical, and obsessive employment of this techne- in all spheres of the cultural and intellectual life of Athens\" (74). [...] Plato's own allegories and myths \"perform essentially the same symbolic function in Plato's dialogues as does the poetic image: they all point to some truth that can be indicated in no other or better way\" (302).
