商品簡介
Plato continues to fascinate, and these nine essays reflect the ongoing interest in what he had to say and how he said it. Reflecting on a range of works, the contributors address such topics as ethics, political theory, psychology, epistemology, ontology, physics, metaphysics and ancient literary criticism, offering new solutions to long-standing problems. Topics include Plato's take on law and justice; his ideas on image recognition; his linkages among explanation, assumption the good, and the concept of "itself by itself" in Phaedo; the tri-partition of the soul in Republic; happiness and the nature of the philosopher-kings; appearance and belief in Theaetetus; the argument for the reality of change and changelessness in Sophis; eternity; and an Aristotelian perspective on Platos dialogs. The collection is fully indexed. Distributed in the US by The David Brown Book Company. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
