Martin M. Kelly Memorial Lecture
Ariel Helfer
“The Philosopher as Political Advisor: Rediscovering Plato’s Letters”
January 31, 2025, 1:45-3:45 pm, Rogers Chapel Seminar Room
Ariel Helfer is Associate Professor of Political Science at Wayne State University. He joined that department in 2017, having previously taught at Michigan State after receiving his PhD in Government from the University of Texas at Austin in 2015. His courses cover a broad range of texts and thinkers, from ancient to modern political philosophy, as well as American political thought. Helfer’s first book, Socrates and Alcibiades: Plato’s Drama of Political Ambition and Philosophy (University of Pennsylvania, 2017) traces the development of this relation and its significance portrayed in three Platonic dialogues. His recent book, Plato’s Letters: the Political Challenges of Philosophic Life (Cornell, 2023), includes an interpretative essay along with a new English translation of the letters. The authenticity of this material, which describes Plato’s involvement in the tyrannical regime at Syracuse in the 4th century BCE, has long been debated. Helfer’s study has attracted attention for its well-argued but controversial reading of the Letters as a unified work, a philosophic epistolary novel containing Plato's teachings on the philosopher's responsibility to turn his political wisdom into practical counsel.
