Klappentext

This book examines the Platonic tradition through essays celebrating Paul Kalligas. It explores Plato's evolving legacy-institutional, dogmatic, inspirational-and Plotinus' systematisation of Platonism. Covering Presocratics to late antiquity, it offers new insights into Plato's metaphysics, Aristotle's critiques, and Neoplatonism. Essential for scholars of ancient thought.
