    The Unity of Plato’s Sophist: Between the Sophist and the Philosopher.Noburu Notomi - 1999 - Cambridge University Press.
    Plato's later dialogue, the Sophist, is deemed one of the greatest works in the history of philosophy, but scholars have been shy of confronting the central problem of the dialogue. For Plato, defining the sophist is the basic philosophical problem: any inquirer must face the 'sophist within us' in order to secure the very possibility of dialogue, and of philosophy, against sophistic counterattack. Examining the connection between the large and difficult philosophical issues discussed in the Sophist in relation to the (...)

    Imagination for Philosophical Exercise in Plato’s Republic: The Story of Gyges’ Ring and the Simile of the Sun.Noburu Notomi - 2019 - In Evan Keeling & Luca Pitteloud (eds.), Psychology and Ontology in Plato. Cham: Springer Verlag.
    In order to re-examine what role Plato gives to images in the Republic, this chapter argues against modern commentators’ views and demonstrates that for Plato, images represent reality in special ways and that the simile is not simply a didactic method of explaining familiar objects, but is an effective method of inquiry to reveal a reality unknown to us. First it shows that Plato ascribes to images a special role of transforming our souls, by examining the famous story of Gyges’ (...)

    Japanese Philosophers on Plato's Ideas.Noburu Notomi - 2023 - Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement 93:55-68.
    Although Plato studies occupy an important place in academia, the empiricist stance in considering reality, the modern epistemology of the self-identical ego, the devaluation of the image and imagination, and the restrictions on philosophy within academic research sometimes cause us to lose sight of the essence of Plato's texts and thought when analysing them. Discussing Plato from a Japanese perspective, this paper will introduce three Japanese thinkers, Sakabe Megumi, Izutsu Toshihiko, and Ino-ue Tadashi, who have critically examined modern Western philosophy (...)

    Plato, Isocrates and Epistolary Literature.Noburu Notomi - 2022 - Plato Journal 23:67-79.
    Working against the recent arguments against Plato’s authorship of the Seventh Letter in the Anglophone scholarship, this paper demonstrates the historical possibility that Plato wrote his letters for philosophical purposes, most likely in competition with Isocrates, who skilfully used the literary genre of letters for his rhetorical and philosophical purposes. Because Isocrates and Plato experimented with various writing styles in response to each other, letters and autobiographies may well have been their common devices. The paper concludes that we should respect (...)

  10. La unitat del Sofista de Plató. Entre el sofista i el filòsof.Noburu Notomi - 2024 - Sabadell: Edicions Enoanda. Translated by Miquel Montserrat Capella.
    "El Sofista" de Plató es considera una de les obres més grans de la història de la filosofia, però els estudiosos s’han mostrat tímids a l’hora d’enfrontar-se al problema central del diàleg. Per a Plató, definir el sofista és el problema filosòfic bàsic: qualsevol investigador s’ha d’encarar al «sofista dins nostre» per tal d’assegurar la possibilitat mateixa del diàleg i de la filosofia contra el contraatac sofístic. Pròleg: Montserrat Crespín .

    The Platonic Idea of Ideal and its Reception in East Asia.Noburu Notomi - 2015 - Journal of Philosophical Research 40 (Supplement):137-147.
    In the history of philosophy, Plato’s theory of Forms has enchanted many philosophers, but it has faced more adversaries than proponents. Although it is unusual for contemporary philosophers to believe in the Platonic Forms, I confront Plato seriously and try to defend his thought by reflecting on its reception in modern Japan. For this purpose, the Japanese word “risō” (理想), which was originally a translation of the Platonic “Idea” or “Form,” will give us valuable hints.I discuss Aristotle, Friedrich Nietzsche and (...)
