Plato is one of the most widely read and studied philosophers of all time. A pivotal figure in the history of philosophy, his work is foundational to the Western philosophical tradition.
The Platonic Mind provides an extensive survey of his work, not only placing it in its historical context but also exploring its contemporary significance. Comprising over thirty specially commissioned chapters by an international team of contributors, the volume is divided into three clear parts:
- Reading Plato-s Dialogues
- Themes from Plato
- Plato-s Influences and Significance
Within these sections key topics are addressed including: the nature of reality and the physical world; human cognition, including knowledge, sense perception, and affective states; society, politics, and law; his method of inquiry and literary style; his influence on subsequent thinkers and traditions; studies on a wide range of individual Platonic dialogues.
