Description
The Platonic Art of Philosophy by George Boys-Stones, Dimitri El Murr, and Christopher Gill is a collection of essays written in honour of renowned scholar Christopher Rowe. This volume brings together leading experts from diverse scholarly traditions to explore the synergies between their approaches and interests. The book delves into key topics such as the literary unity of Plato's works, the role of his contemporaries in his dialogues, and the function of myth, particularly the Atlantis myth. It also examines Plato's Socratic heritage, including his discussions on psychology, and his views on truth and being. The essays focus on prominent dialogues such as Euthydemus, Phaedo, Phaedrus, Republic, Theaetetus, Timaeus, Sophist, and Laws. By bringing together these different perspectives, this volume offers a unique insight into the richness and complexity of Plato's philosophy.
