  • From Plato to Platonism

    by Lloyd P. Gerson ...
    "Gerson's book is a highly valuable, well-written contribution to Platonism research. It persuasively makes a case for understanding Plato's philosophy as a coherent system that has an intricate and meaningful relation to later Platonistic philosophical positions. From this point, Plato appears as a Platonist indeed."— Claas Lattman ― CLASSICAL JOURNALWas Plato a Platonist? While ancient disciples ... Read more

  • Parmenides and Presocratic Philosophy

    by John Palmer ...

  • Mortal and Divine in Early Greek Epistemology

    A Study of Hesiod, Xenophanes and Parmenides

    by Shaul Tor ...
    Series series Cambridge Classical Studies
    This book demonstrates that we need not choose between seeing so-called Presocratic thinkers as rational philosophers or as religious sages. In particular, it rethinks fundamentally the emergence of systematic epistemology and reflection on speculative inquiry in Hesiod, Xenophanes and Parmenides. Shaul Tor argues that different forms of reasoning, and different models of divine disclosure, play ... Read more

  • The New Cambridge Companion to Plotinus

    Series series Cambridge Companions to Philosophy
    Plotinus stands at a crossroads in ancient philosophy, between the more than 600 years of philosophy that came before him and the new Platonic tradition. He was the first and perhaps the greatest systematizer of Plato's thought, and all later students of Plato in the following centuries approached Plato through him. This Companion from a new generation of ancient philosophy scholars reflects the ... Read more
