The only available volume of essays on self-knowledge and self-ignorance in Plato's thought. Its essays from established and rising scholars of every interpretative school, and its comprehensive bibliography, will be an invaluable resource for both scholars and students in philosophy, classics, and history of ideas.
Knowledge and Ignorance of Self in Platonic Philosophy is the first volume of essays dedicated to the whole question of self-knowledge and its role in Platonic philosophy. It brings together established and rising scholars from every interpretative school of Plato studies, and a variety of texts from across Plato''s corpus - including the classic discussions of self-knowledge in the Charmides and Alcibiades I, and dialogues such as the Republic, Theaetetus, and Theages, which are not often enough mined for insights about this crucial philosophical topic. The rich variety of readings and hermeneutical methods (as well as the comprehensive research bibliography included in the volume) allows for an encompassing view of the relevant scholarly debates. The volume is intended to serve as a standard resource for further research on Plato''s treatment of self-knowledge, and will highlight the relevance of Plato''s thought to contemporary debates on selfhood, self-reflection and subjectivity.
