Provides essays on Plato and the Platonic tradition. The text covers topics such as "Is the idea of the good in Plato's Republic beyond being?", Plutarch, Judaism and Christianity, the Neoplatonic Hypostases and the Christian Trinity, and phantasia and inspiration in Neoplatonism.
This book, which honours the career of a distinguished scholar, contains essays dealing with important problems in Plato, the Platonic tradition, and the texts and transmission of Plato and later Platonic writers. It ranges from the discussion of issues in individual Platonic dialogues to the examination of Platonism in the Middle Ages. The essays are written by leading scholars in the field and reflect the current state of knowledge on the various problems under discussion. The collection as a whole testifies to the importance of the Platonic writings for the history of ideas, and to the vitality that the study of these writings continues to possess.
