{"product_id":"authority-and-authoritative-texts-in-michael-erler-9781108844000","title":"Authority and Authoritative Texts in the Platonist Tradition","description":"All disciplines can count on a noble founder, and the representation of this founder as an authority is key in order to construe a discipline's identity. This book sheds light on how Plato and other authorities were represented in one of the most long-lasting traditions of all time. It leads the reader through exegesis and polemics, recovery of the past and construction of a philosophical identity. From Xenocrates to Proclus, from the sceptical shift to the re-establishment of dogmatism, from the Mosaic of the Philosophers to the Neoplatonist Commentaries, the construction of authority emerges as a way of access to the core of the Platonist tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Erler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108844006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108844000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Michael Erler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48457815490815,"sku":"9781108844000","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_819bc401-ddc3-4886-b21b-62aaae70152d.jpg?v=1777401133","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/authority-and-authoritative-texts-in-michael-erler-9781108844000","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
