商品簡介
Featuring studies on Platonism and neo-Platonism by scholars from twelve countries, this collection includes material on unity, intellect, and beauty; happiness and virtue, the soul and body; Platonopolia; philosophy and religion; and the career of Dominic J. O'Meara, for whom this volume was produced as a festschrift. The articles, in their original languages, include comparisons of unintelligible objects, Alexandre d'Aphodise, Platonian approaches to a solution of the mind-body problem, Plotinus vs. Porphyry, ethics and metaphysics, what to do when virtue bids us to abandon life, what is gennaion in the noble falsehood of the Republic, the image of Egypt in the platonic tradition, and a common misreading of Augustine at Ostia. The result is fascinating, and worthy of Dr. O'Meara. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
