The Seth Benardete Papers — Overview

The Seth Benardete Papers preserve the original contents of Benardete’s files in his New York University office, a total of about 15,000 manuscript pages. The Papers are divided into seven series:

Series SB 01: Reading Notes on literary and philosophical texts Series SB 02: Course Materials and Transcripts Series SB 03: Typescripts Series SB 04: Correspondence Series SB 05: Restricted Series SB 06: Publications Series SB 07: Oversize

With the exception of SB 02 and SB 06, each series is further divided into subseries designated by a hyphenated number, e.g., SB 01-01, SB 01-02, etc. Most subseries in the collection replicate the original folders of Benardete’s files.

The Papers are available in three formats: (1) the archival print version; (2) the public digital version, available online; and (3) the on-site digital version, located at the New School Archives & Special Collections.

Access to the archival print and on-site digital versions of the Papers may be requested from [email protected]. For more information see “Access Restrictions” on page x.

This collection guide serves as a detailed description of and index to the Papers.

Biography

Seth Benardete was born in Brooklyn on April 4, 1930. His intellectually formative years were spent at the University of Chicago (1948–52, 1954–55), where he studied with Leo Strauss. From Chicago, Benardete pursued his studies abroad, spending one year at the American School in Athens (1952–53), and the following year on a Ford Foundation fellowship in Florence (1953–54), where he wrote his dissertation on the Iliad. His first teaching position was as a tutor in the Great Books program at St. John’s College in Annapolis (1955–57). During this period he contributed translations of Aeschylus’ The Suppliant Maidens and The Persians to the Chicago University Press’s series of The Complete Greek Tragedies, edited by David Grene and Richmond Lattimore. Invited to join the Society of Junior Fellows, Benardete went on to Harvard (1957-60), where he wrote his first book, Herodotean Inquiries, as well as his influential essay on Sophocles’ Oedipus. After several years of teaching at Brandeis University, Benardete returned to New York City in 1965, when he joined the classics department at New York University and began a series of philosophy courses at the New School Graduate Faculty that continued for the duration of his career.

At N.Y.U., Benardete taught the complete range of Greek and Latin poetry, history and philosophy. At the New School, his lectures included the pre-Socratic thinkers and Aristotle, while covering almost the entire corpus of Platonic dialogues.

Benardete’s later publications include: The Bow and the Lyre: A Platonic Reading of the Odyssey, The Rhetoric of Morality and Philosophy: Plato’s Gorgias and Phaedrus, and Socrates’ Second Sailing: On Plato’s Republic; and translations, with commentary, of Plato’s Theaetetus, Sophist, Statesman, Philebus and Symposium, and of Aristotle’s On Poetics, with Michael Davis. His essays have been collected in The Argument of the Action and the forthcoming volume, The Archaeology of the Soul. For a complete bibliography see the Appendix A.

Benardete’s research was supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Earhart Foundation and the Carl Friedrich von Siemens Stiftung in Munich. He received an honorary degree from Adelphi University.

Seth Benardete died in New York City on November 14, 2001.

Using the Collection Guide

N.B.: A more detailed description of the features of the collection guide follows this outline and may be accessed via the hypertext links.

A. The collection guide describes the contents of each item in the collection according to unique archival identifiers:

Item number Item name Date and venue (if applicable) Number of pages and sheets Number of archival folders Course description (if available)

B. In addition, the collection guide for the “Reading Notes” in Series SB 01, the largest and

most intensively documented part of the collection, is organized according to the following criteria.

1. Material authored by Benardete, with corresponding page numbers:

Commentaries Concordances Metrical schemata Outlines Manuscript tradition Administrative material Typescripts, offprints, and drafts Correspondence Other categories (as necessary)

2. “Other material” used by Benardete in his study of and instruction in the text of a

given classical author, with corresponding page numbers:

– vii –

Excerpts from [other works of the same classical author] from other classical authors from post-classical authors and commentators

Handouts Administrative material Correspondence Other categories (as necessary)

C. Document pagination

The archival process used two sets of numbers to paginate the manuscript copies of the Papers: the “found-order pagination,” located in the upper righthand corner of each page, which indicates the precise order in which the manuscripts were found by the archivist; and the “archival pagination,” in the upper lefthand corner, which marks the archivist’s reorganization of the pages according to their intended (or logical) order and after the subtraction of duplicate pages — thus the use of the terms “found-order page” and “archival page” in the documentation. (Exceptions are noted in the collection guide.)

N.B.: All page numbers referenced in the collection guide indexes refer to the archival page numbers of the print version, except where noted otherwise.

The following applies only to the electronic (.pdf) version of the Papers: a third set of numbers has been added to every .pdf page of the Papers at bottom center (with some exceptions). N.B.: At this writing (August, 2013), an index of the Papers by .pdf page is not available.

D. Archival notes (see below)

E. Electronic files (see below)

Unique archival identifiers

Item number — consists of the prefix “SB,” followed by the series and hyphenated subseries numbers of the individual item. For Series SB 01 and SB 07, item numbers have been assigned alphabetically, by classical author and title; multiple items concerning a single text have been arranged in their presumed chronological order. The organization of Series SB 02-SB 06 is indicated in the collection guide.

Item name — description of the item contents, usually consisting of a classical author and text. Multiple items are distinguished by a Roman numeral given in parentheses after the item number and name, e.g., SB 01-80 Sophocles, Philoctetes (I), SB 01-81 Sophocles, Philoctetes (II) and SB 01-82 Sophocles, Philoctetes (III).

Date and venue — the semester, year and institution where Benardete taught the course or gave the lecture associated with the material. The uncertainty of a date or venue is indicated by a bracketed question mark.

– viii –

Number of pages and sheets — the total page number of an item is equivalent to the final archival page number of both the manuscript and the archival copy; the total sheet number indicates the number of single-sided pages in the archival copy, replicating as discrete pages the material on the verso as well as the recto of the manuscript pages.

Number of archival folders — the number of folders containing the archival copy of a single manuscript item. See the description of the archival notes for more information.

Course description — the synopsis of the associated course, written by Benardete for the New York University and New School Graduate Faculty course catalogues, as available.

Material authored by Benardete

Commentaries — the essential interpretive content of Benardete’s “reading notes” on the texts, made in preparation for his courses in philosophy, classical philology and the Western classical tradition. The “commentary” format of the reading notes is fairly uniform: in general, after the citation of a standard section, page or line number of the text in question, there follows a series of interpretive remarks. While the order of each set of notes ordinarily follows the consecutive order of the sections, pages or lines of the text Benardete was reading, there are regular breaks in this consecutive order where Benardete returns to revise his interpretation of parts of the text previously commented on, where he investigates relations to some other text, where he notes some new discovery about a larger section of a text or of the text as a whole, or where he makes connections to later passages. Each set of reading notes develops an interpretation of the text as a whole, so that later observations depend on conclusions drawn previously. Benardete frequently cites texts in their original languages, and the interpretation depends on these citations, which are indexed in the collection guides as “Excerpts.”

Concordances — lists of keywords and concepts, with citations of their occurrence in the texts. Benardete collated many of these lists himself; such concordances are described in the documentation as having been compiled “by hand.” Later he also used Ibycus — properly, the Ibycus Scholarly Personal Computer, developed in the mid-1980’s — to generate printed pages of citations (called “electronic concordances” in the archival documentation) that he would mark with annotations (“marginalia”).

In the collection guide, all keywords are listed first, in alphabetical order, followed by the concordances on themes or grammatical concepts, e.g., on “Orestes’ references to his father” in the Electra of Sophocles; and on “[Words for (marriage-)bed, Tr.900-946]” in the Trachiniae. Benardete’s original titles and headings of concordance lists are enclosed in quotation marks; those enclosed in brackets have been devised by the archivist.

A distinction is often made in the collection guide between terms located by Benardete within a single text and those occurring within a range of texts or authors. In such cases the keywords or concepts are listed under sub-headings as, e.g., “Sophocles’ Electra,” “Sophoclean corpus,” and “Greek tragedians.”

Metrical schemata (or Metrics) — Benardete’s rendering of the scansion of various passages. His occasional analysis of metrical topics is also found in this category, e.g., “Metrical difficulties: especially 5th and 4th feet,” “Homeric Hexameter,” “Comic Verse.”

– ix –

Outlines — lists or schemata in which Benardete organizes, in brief, his analysis of the material. Typically an “outline” sets out the structure of a work or its parts — sometimes comparing two or more parts or themes. Benardete usually provides a title for these analyses — again, set off in quotes in the archival documentation, as “[D]ouble structure of the Protagoras,” “Nestor’s second speech (254– ),” and “Stages of H.’s madness.” Where he does not, a bracketed description is supplied by the archivist, e.g., [Plan of the dialogue]; and [Parallel structure of speeches of Athena & Odysseus].

N.B.: (1) Outlines are listed in the order in which they occur in the text, rather than alphabetically; (2) there is some thematic overlap between outlines and concordances, e.g., “Words of mind in Pythian 6.”

Manuscript tradition — material concerning the transmission of a text or issues of textual criticism, as “Manuscript stemma of Wasps.”

Administrative material — primarily describes assignments, seminar topics and examinations, i.e., “official” material with intellectual content, usually associated with courses taught by Benardete at the Latin-Greek Institute.

Typescripts, offprints, drafts — as found among the reading notes in Series SB 01: early drafts, in longhand, of Benardete’s published work; typescripts of same, with or without marginalia; and offprints. All such materials are cross-listed in the finder’s guide for Series SB 03, Typescripts.

Correspondence— letters and emails found among the reading notes in Series SB 01.

Other categories occur as necessary, e.g., “Assignments,” “Language and grammar.”

Other material

Excerpts — quotations from the texts of other authors, consisting of at least a line of content. Such passages may be found: (1) transcribed, in longhand, in the original language in the reading notes of Series SB 01; (2) transcribed and reproduced (whether in the original or in Benardete’s translation) on handouts; or (3) reproduced on photocopies of critical editions and other publications. Bibliographical citations (and/or the editor’s name) are always included where the source of the material is known.

In the collection guide, excerpts may be listed under three sub-headings: “Excerpts from [the author of the text],” which lists passages from works by the same author, and may include excerpts from the work that is the subject of the subseries; “Excerpts from other classical authors,” listing the works of authors whose floruit antedates the third century C.E.; and “Excerpts from post-classical authors and commentators.”

Handouts — third-party material (maps, charts, schemata, etc.) photocopied for the use of students. Multiple copies have been culled from the collection. Bibliographical citations are always included where the source of the material is known.

Administrative material — official class and reading schedules and class rosters, usually associated with the courses Benardete taught at the Latin-Greek Institute. All material identifying individual students has been electronically masked or otherwise excluded from archival copies

– x –

available to the public; however, the archival documentation includes the names of students whose term-papers were found in the collection.

Correspondence — letters and emails from other scholars found among the reading notes in Series SB 01. For the most part, material from living correspondents has been excluded from the archival collection.

Other categories occur as necessary, e.g., “Etymological notes.”

Archival notes

The “archival notes” at the end of each series or subseries contains information on the peculiar attributes of the manuscript folder and its contents, as: the original name of the folder, if it differs from the author and title of the item name; a description of the item contents, including an accounting of multiple sets of notes; Benardete’s pagination (including the archivist’s reckoning of any mistakes in his pagination); and a description of the kind of paper used.

Paper and ink are useful in determining the relative age of a manuscript: earlier notes were written in felt-tip pen on unruled paper; later notes were written on ruled paper, usually with a fountain pen. The change from one set of writing materials to the other seems to have occurred in about 1980. Except where noted in the collection guide, Benardete used standard letter-sized paper detached from writing-pads. Folders containing archival copies of manuscripts written on legal-sized paper (SB 01-12, SB 01-27, SB 01-77 and SB 01-85) are housed in the “Oversize” series, Series SB 07, and should be retrieved from that location, although the corresponding collection guide is located in Series SB0 1.

The archival notes also contain the page range of the material contained in multiple archival folders, e.g., “Archival folder 1 contains pages 1-96. Archival folder 2 contains pages 97-165.” This feature is intended to help the reader to preserve the order of the archival pages.

The archival notes also refer the reader to other folders containing “additional commentary” on the same topic and may indicate restrictions on the use of the material.

N.B.: The categories used in the organization of the Seth Benardete Papers are archival constructs and do not reflect any principle of organization imposed on the material by Benardete himself.

Electronic files

The Papers were digitized late in the archival process. Links to the electronic files available online are listed at the end of each subseries for SB 01 and SB 04, as well as in Appendix B. Certain subseries in Series SB 02 and SB 03 are also available in digital form. Any file containing materials that are unavailable for electronic distribution has been so designated by the occurrence of the string “_RESTRICTED” in the filename. See “Access restrictions” for more information.

Access restrictions

As stated above, there are three versions of the Papers: (1) the archival print version; (2) the public digital version, available online; and (3) the on-site digital version, located at the New School Archives & Special Collections. Access to the archival print and on-site digital versions of the Papers may be requested from [email protected] or by calling the Archives at 212.229.5942.

Access to Series SB 05 will be completely restricted until July 1, 2017. Elsewhere in the collection, pages containing materials not covered by the Benardete Archive copyright have been omitted from the archival print version and electronically masked in both digital versions: administrative material identifying students by name (e.g., class rosters and lists of student grades); any material authored by students; and some correspondence.

Some material is available for use on-site — in both the archival print and on-site digital versions — but may not be reproduced: SB 01-10 pages 17, 18, 28, 30-38 and 46-50; SB 01-11 (entire); SB 01-17 pages 69-73; SB 01-28 pages 175-175A; SB 01-30 pages 376-376A and 380-382A; SB 01-33 pages 187-188 and 190-199; SB 01-40 page 217; SB 01-77 pages 127-128; SB 01-85 pages 111-112; SB 01-87 pages 180, 181, 186, 187, 189 and 191; and the entire contents of SB 02 “1981, L.G.I., Sophocles, Antigone vocabulary,” SB 04-02 “Correspondence from Richard Kennington to Seth Benardete,” and SB 04-05 “Correspondence from Leo Strauss to Seth Benardete.”

The names of the electronic files containing these materials end in “_R” in the on-site version; in the public version, the filenames end in “_RESTRICTED.”

Series SB 01 Reading Notes

Scope and Contents note:

Series SB 01 contains Benardete’s reading notes on classical texts, made in preparation for his courses in philosophy at the New School’s Graduate Faculty and in classics at New York University and the Brooklyn College/CUNY Graduate Center Latin-Greek Institute. With the exception of SB 01-90, SB 01-91 and SB 01-92, which were assembled by the archivist, each item replicates an original folder found among Benardete’s files.

Series SB 01 also contains some folders containing course materials. These folders are cross-listed at Series SB 02, Course Materials and Transcripts.

Archival notes: Subseries SB 01-21 contains a single set of reading notes: (1) Pages 1-43, on unlined paper; S.B.’s pagination: 1-44 The subseries is preserved in its original order. The archival pagination is therefore equivalent to the found-order pagination — although archival page 34A, numbered 44 by S.B., should be the final page in the file. Benardete used two sets of page numbers at upper right. He also numbered the verso of some pages with the recto page number, followed by –a. Electronic file: SB_01-21_Euripides_Hippolytus contains archival pages 1-43.

SB 01-43 Plato, Cratylus (Spring 1973, N.S.)

138 pages on 181 sheets. One archival folder. The Cratylus forms a pair with the Parmenides, for it is concerned with Heraclitus, who was furthest removed in thought from Parmenides; but in another sense it stands with inspired dialogues like the Phaedrus and Symposium, for the problems of eros and Socratic rhetoric are deeply rooted in the distinction between nature and convention, a distinction that in turn involves the problem of language.

SB 01-48 Plato, Laches, Menexenus (Fall 1990, N.S.)

232 pages on 279 sheets. Three archival folders. Plato’s Menexenus presents Socrates reciting a funeral speech composed, he claims, by Pericles’ mistress Aspasia; it is supposed to match in some way Pericles’ own funeral speech in Thucydides. In the Laches, Socrates discusses courage with Laches and Nicias; and Nicias looms almost as large in the second half of Thucydides’ work as Pericles does in the first. It is proposed to look at Plato’s possible interpretation of Thucydides in light of these two dialogues on war and death in battle. Pages Commentaries:

SB 01-51 Plato, Laws I-III (Spring 1996, N.S.)

288 pages on 332 sheets. Three archival folders.

Plato’s Laws was once thought to be the book on revelation. This course treats Plato’s Laws in three sections, each to be given in the Spring of successive years. The first section deals with Books I-IV [sic]. It covers the determination of the structure of law in light of the four psychic and corporeal virtues the law is meant to inculcate and regulate. Its deeper theme is the impossibility of its fulfilling its purpose and the consequences to be drawn from that impossibility. The changing relations between the Athenian Stranger and the Spartan Megillus and the Cretan Clinias form a large part of the argument of the Laws. Pages

Commentary on Plato’s Laws:

SB 01-69 Plato, Sophist (IV) (Fall 1991, N.S.)

129 pages on 159 sheets. Two archival folders. In this dialogue a student of Parmenides attempts to determine the being of Socrates in relation, on the one hand, to the contemporary sophists and, on the other, to all philosophers prior to Socrates. Socrates’ life in the marketplace looks like a marketing of philosophy and not at all like the speculative practice of the past. The possibility, or rather the necessity, of mistaking Socrates puts the question of likeness at the center of the problem of being and truth. The being and nonbeing of the image involves as well the issue of Plato’s representation of Socrates. Pages Commentary on Plato’s Sophist .................................................. 1-111

164 pages on 202 sheets. Two archival folders. Just before his condemnation, Socrates raises the question, “What is knowledge?” before two mathematicians. No satisfactory answer is reached. Since on the next day the Eleatic Stranger seems to be more successful, one wonders whether we are given the philosophic grounds for Socrates’ condemnation in the Theaetetus.

SB 01-76 Plato, Timaeus (II) (Spring 1999; N.S.)

182 pages on 234 sheets. Two archival folders. An attempt is made to interpret the enigmatic speech of Timaeus in light of its setting: Socrates’ abbreviated account of the best city in speech (presumably of the Republic) and Critias’ summary of the best city at war — to have been filled out in the incomplete Critias. Why is so elaborate a cosmology set among political considerations? What bearing does this have on Socrates’ non-cosmological account of the whole in the Republic and his playful version of a cosmology in the Philebus? Why does Timaeus split his account in such a way that its two parts cannot be put together? This difficulty leads directly into the problem of time that in itself represents the Platonic perplexity — the relation of soul and mind. Pages Commentary on Plato’s Timaeus:
