Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Later PlatonistThe religious rites and beliefs were also set forth as pertaining to a common principle, and only at fault as having been adulterated with foreign and incongru ous elements. He taught, says Mosheim, that the religion of the multitude went hand in hand with Philosophy, and with her had shared the fate of being by degrees corrupted and obscured by human con ceits, superstition and lies; that it ought therefore to be brought back to its original purity by purging it of this dross and expounding it upon philosophical prin ciples; and that the whole purpose which Christ had in view was to reinstate and restore to its primitive integrity the Wisdom of the ancients - to reduce within bounds the universally-prevailing dominion of superstition - and in part to correct and in part to ex terminate the various errors that had found their way into the different popular religions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aristotle's Criticisms of Plato The tentative tone of both of these passages would be quite unintelligible had Aristotle believed in the identity of 'the unlimited' in sensibles with 'the unlimited in Ideas. Consequently when in Phys. Iii. We read that Plato's dweipov 'existed both in the world of sense and in the Ideas', there is no reason to conclude that this c'tvmpov is for both numerically the same. In Met. A. 6. 988 a 10, Aristotle states that the Ideas result from two causes: formal 2v, material - the Great and the Small. Pheno mena also arise from two causes: formal - the Ideas, material - the Great and the Small. Now, were the material cause identical for both Idea and phenomenon, this passage would mean that the Ideas, which determine the great-and-small, are yet themselves partly the result of that great-and-small, a contradiction which there is as little reason for attributing to Aristotle as to Plato.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plato and Platonism: A Series of Lectures Plato has seemed to many to have been scarcely less than the creator of philosophy and it is an immense advance he makes, from the crude or turbid beginnings of scientific enquiry with the Ionians or the Eleatics, to that wide range of perfectly finished philosophical litera ture. His encyclopaedic View of the whole domain of knowledge is more than a mere step in a progress. Nothing that went before it, for compass and power and charm, had been really comparable to it. Plato's achievement may Well seem an absolutely fresh thing in the morn ing of the mind's history. Yet in truth the world Plato had entered into was already almost weary of philosophical debate, bewildered by the oppositions of sects, the claims' of rival schools. Language and the processes of thought were already become sophisticated, the very air he breathed sickly with off-cast speculative atoms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Plato a Platonist? While ancient disciples of Plato would have answered this question in the affirmative, modern scholars have generally denied that Plato’s own philosophy was in substantial agreement with that of the Platonists of succeeding centuries. In From Plato to Platonism, Lloyd P. Gerson argues that the ancients are correct in their assessment. He arrives at this conclusion in an especially ingenious manner, challenging fundamental assumptions about how Plato’s teachings have come to be understood. Through deft readings of the philosophical principles found in Plato's dialogues and in the Platonic tradition beginning with Aristotle, he shows that Platonism, broadly conceived, is the polar opposite of naturalism and that the history of philosophy from Plato until the seventeenth century was the history of various efforts to find the most consistent and complete version of "anti-naturalism." Gerson contends that the philosophical position of Plato—Plato’s own Platonism, so to speak—was produced out of a matrix he calls "Ur-Platonism." According to Gerson, Ur-Platonism is the conjunction of five "antis" that in total arrive at anti-naturalism: anti-nominalism, anti-mechanism, anti-materialism, anti-relativism, and anti-skepticism. Plato’s Platonism is an attempt to construct the most consistent and defensible positive system uniting the five "antis." It is also the system that all later Platonists throughout Antiquity attributed to Plato when countering attacks from critics including Peripatetics, Stoics, and Sceptics. In conclusion, Gerson shows that Late Antique philosophers such as Proclus were right in regarding Plotinus as "the great exegete of the Platonic revelation."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Aristotle versus Plato. For a long time that is the angle from which the tale has been told, in textbooks on the history of philosophy and to university students. Aristotle's philosophy, so the story goes, was au fond in opposition to Plato's. But it was not always thus."—from the Introduction In a wide-ranging book likely to cause controversy, Lloyd P. Gerson sets out the case for the "harmony" of Platonism and Aristotelianism, the standard view in late antiquity. He aims to show that the twentieth-century view that Aristotle started out as a Platonist and ended up as an anti-Platonist is seriously flawed. Gerson examines the Neoplatonic commentators on Aristotle based on their principle of harmony. In considering ancient studies of Aristotle's Categories, Physics, De Anima, Metaphysics, and Nicomachean Ethics, the author shows how the principle of harmony allows us to understand numerous texts that otherwise appear intractable. Gerson also explains how these "esoteric" treatises can be seen not to conflict with the early "exoteric" and admittedly Platonic dialogues of Aristotle. Aristotle and Other Platonists concludes with an assessment of some of the philosophical results of acknowledging harmony.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Five Dialogues of Plato: Bearing on Poetic Inspiration Jassages which seem most to glow with the enthusiasm of ooetry, are of great importance to Plato's logical theory. The truth is that if Plato is poetic, it is not because he ever subordinates philosophy to poetry, but because he takes what be called a poetic view of knowledge. He emphasizes asserts the importance in knowledge and in logic of the ent of the immediate and the intuitive. While always ting on exact argument and careful logical reasoning, e makes all reasoning depend finally on intellectual insight nd vision which is immediate. Hence if we are to con truct from Plato any theory of the function of poetry igher than the low one which he expressly assigns to it, it following him in his appreciation of the logical of immediate insight, and then by showing how in its way claim a share in that philosophical latter part of the argument will not be Plato's.

Download or read book Platonic Ethics, Old and New written by Julia Annas and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julia Annas here offers a fundamental reexamination of Plato's ethical thought by investigating the Middle Platonist perspective, which emerged at the end of Plato's own school, the Academy. She highlights the differences between ancient and modern assumptions about Plato's ethics—and stresses the need to be more critical about our own. One of these modern assumptions is the notion that the dialogues record the development of Plato's thought. Annas shows how the Middle Platonists, by contrast, viewed the dialogues as multiple presentations of a single Platonic ethical philosophy, differing in form and purpose but ultimately coherent. They also read Plato's ethics as consistently defending the view that virtue is sufficient for happiness, and see it as converging in its main points with the ethics of the Stoics. Annas goes on to explore the Platonic idea that humankind's final end is "becoming like God"—an idea that is well known among the ancients but virtually ignored in modern interpretations. She also maintains that modern interpretations, beginning in the nineteenth century, have placed undue emphasis on the Republic, and have treated it too much as a political work, whereas the ancients rightly saw it as a continuation of Plato's ethical writings.
