The Oxford Handbook of Plato by Gail Fine
Requirements: .PDF reader, 4.6mb
Overview: Plato is the best known, and continues to be the most widely studied, of all the ancient Greek philosophers. The twenty-one commissioned articles in The Oxford Handbook of Plato provide in-depth and up-to-date discussions of a variety of topics and dialogues. The result is a useful
state-of-the-art reference to the man many consider the most important philosophical thinker in history.
Each article is an original contribution from a leading scholar, and they all serve several functions at once: they survey the lay of the land; express and develop the authors’ own views; and situate those views within a range of alternatives.
This Handbook contains chapters on metaphysics, epistemology, love, language, ethics, politics, art and education. Individual chapters are devoted to each of the following dialogues: the Republic, Parmenides, Theaetetus, Sophist, Timaeus, and Philebus. There are also chapters on Plato and the
dialogue form; on Plato in his time and place; on the history of the Platonic corpus; on Aristotle’s criticism of Plato, and on Plato and Platonism.
