In this book, Vasilis Politis argues that Plato's Forms are essences, not merely things that have an essence. Politis shows that Plato's essentialism is a well-argued, rigorous and coherent theory, and a viable competitor to Aristotelian essentialism.
In this book, Vasilis Politis argues that Plato''s Forms are essences, not merely things that have an essence. Politis shows that understanding Plato''s theory of Forms as a theory of essence presents a serious challenge to contemporary philosophers who regard essentialism as little more than an optional item on the philosophical menu. This approach, he suggests, also constitutes a sharp critique of those who view Aristotelian essentialism as the only sensible position: Plato''s essentialism, Politis demonstrates, is a well-argued, rigorous, and coherent theory, and a viable competitor to that of Aristotle. This book will appeal to students and scholars with an interest in the intersection between philosophy and the history of philosophy.
