Michael Erler
Plato. An Introduction.
Little Einaudi Library - Maps n.5, 2008
Volume in excellent condition, still with cellophane.
Plato, next to Aristotle, holds first place among ancient philosophers. His works are among the most significant testimonies of the history of Western thought and represent a culmination point in the philosophical and literary tradition of ancient Greece. With this work the author introduces the life and work of the great philosopher, describes his cultural environment and relationship with tradition and outlines with great mastery the evolution and the main aspects of his thought: from logic to anthropology, from metaphysics to ethics, from the concept of education to political philosophy, from the value of language to cosmology. And this taking into account the provisional nature of various Platonic theses, the peculiarities of the dialectical method and the aporetic nature of some conclusions. One chapter is dedicated to the debate around the so-called unwritten doctrines and another, the concluding one, to the immense fortune enjoyed by Plato in different historical periods.
