Team Success: Aligning Means with Objectives
In corporations, sports, and academia, people often face challenges they cannot handle alone. In such cases, selecting the right team is crucial. Tatiana Mayskaya, Associate Professor at the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences and the International College of Economics and Finance, together with colleagues from foreign universities, examined team characteristics and found that less diverse teams are better suited to objectives where a high average performance is important, whereas more diverse teams are preferable when avoiding failure is critical. The paper has been published in Economic Theory.

Economists Propose More Effective Approach to Reducing Smoking
Economists at HSE University have examined how smokers respond to changes in cigarette prices. When tobacco prices increase, cigarette consumption does not always decline. In fact, spending on tobacco may even rise: according to the researchers, a 1% decrease in cigarette affordability leads to a 0.28% increase in per capita tobacco expenditure. The findings suggest that to reduce smoking rates, tobacco prices must rise faster than household incomes. The study has been published in Voprosy Statistiki.

Ἔρως προτρέπων: Philosophy and Seduction in the Symposium

P. 132–139.
Alieva O.

The scope of this paper is to provide some literary background for Pausanias’ speech in the Symposium and, against this background, to reconsider the notion of Ἔρως προτρέπων in the dialogue. I assume that one of Plato’s purposes in this dialogue was to question the protreptic function of Eros as understood in Antisthenes.

This article proposes a novel interpretation of a difficult passage in the famous Digression in the Theaetetus (175e). The disputed expression ἀναβάλλεσθαι ἐπιδέξια is traditionally understood either as “to wear one’s coat as a gentleman” (McDowell) or as “to strike up an elegant tune like a free man” (Rowe). However, these readings are problematic both ...

Plato's cave is one of the most striking and discussed metaphors not only in Plato's philosophy but in philosophy as a whole. However, the image of the cave as a place associated with the acquisition of new knowledge and the affirmation of one's own opinion appears in Sophocles' Philoctetes, that is, somewhat earlier than in ...

In Aristotle's definition of tragedy in Poetics, where catharsis suddenly appears without any preparation, every word, preposition, and semantics of the case are commented on with such attention and detail as, perhaps, only the expressions, cases, and letters of the Holy Scriptures. In 1975, A. F. Losev estimated the number of interpretations of catharsis by ...

The article examines the counterarguments of Cardinal Bessarion (1403-1472) in response to accusations of the immorality of Platonism made by the scholar George of Trebizond. George's sharply polemical treatise “Comparatio philosophorum Aristotelis et Platonis”, written in 1458, was at that time the most expressive and defiant attack on the Renaissance Neoplatonists. Honoring Plato as a ...

Despite the criticism, the standard chronology of Plato’s works continues to hold sway not only over “developmentalists”, but also over various types of “unitarians”. The authority of the standard chronology rests on the confidence that the division of the dialogues into three groups has been “proven” with quantitative methods. In addition to the general theoretical ...

The second part of the article, dealing with the question of Plato’s own position in the discussion of naturalism and conventionalism in the Cratylus (for part I, see Hyperboreus 29: 2 [2022] 196–233), continues with an analysis of a key point in the discussion between Socrates and Cratylus (434 a – 435 c). Cratylus argues that when the descriptive ...

In the first quarter of the 20th century, Plato’s “Philebus” was fully translated into Russian by N.V.

The article is devoted to the description of a rare example of visual philosophizing in Antiquity, in which the axiologically perfect ordered limit of the Universe is conceived as embracing and locking within itself its less perfect, disordered and ugly internal parts. The article analyzes the testimony of Joannes Stobaeus from the 5th or 6th ...

The article shows that quantitative methods of text analysis have limited applicability for establishing or refuting the authenticity of texts included in the Platonic corpus. As K. Ritter saw at the end of the 19th century, stylistic proximity to authentic texts does not exclude forgery, and in general the methods of phylogical criticism allow only ...
