Excerpt from The Authorship of the Platonic Epistles
The present condition of the prbblem is stated in my general introduction. The plan of this essay is to treat each Epistle, as far as possible, separately - a necessity of criticism which cannot be said to have been wholly observed by previous writers. A considerable amount of my argument necessarily consists in the upholding or refuting of the arguments of others, but I have endeavoured not to carry this to excess.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the authenticity and attribution of Plato's Epistles, examining individual letters to establish which may be authentic. The author sets out to dispel assumptions made in antiquity concerning the genuineness of the letters, which have been accepted by some scholars ever since, and which have shaped our understanding of Plato's life and philosophy. Several letters are thoroughly analyzed to determine their possible Platonic authorship, including those that have been considered most likely to be genuine. The book explores the themes of the letters, their context within Plato's life and work, and how Plato's philosophy informs and is informed by the letters. It also examines how our understanding of Plato's thought and his influence can be revised by a reassessment of their authenticity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
