A third collection of articles that covers the period 1996-2006, the decade since the appearance of "The Great Tradition". It covers subjects that range from Plato himself and the Old Academy, through Philo and Middle Platonism, to the Neoplatonists and beyond.
This third collection of articles by John Dillon covers the period 1996-2006, the decade since the appearance of The Great Tradition. Once again, the subjects covered range from Plato himself and the Old Academy, through Philo and Middle Platonism, to the Neoplatonists and beyond. Particular concerns evidenced in the papers are the continuities in the Platonic tradition, and the setting of philosophers in their social and cultural contexts, while at the same time teasing out the philosophical implications of particular texts. Such topics are addressed as atomism in the Old Academy, Philo''s concept of immateriality, Plutarch''s and Julian''s views on theology, and peculiar features of Iamblichus'' exegeses of Plato and Aristotle, but also the broader questions of the social position of the philosopher in second century A.D. society, and the nature of ancient biography.
