Plato And The Inherent Dualism Of Scientific Knowledge (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425315849)

""Plato And The Inherent Dualism Of Scientific Knowledge"" is a book written by F. W. Bussell that delves into the philosophical ideas of Plato and how they relate to the dualism of scientific knowledge. Bussell argues that Plato's theory of Forms, which posits that there is a perfect realm of abstract concepts that exist independently of the physical world, creates a dualism between the world of the senses and the world of ideas. This dualism, according to Bussell, has had a profound influence on scientific thought throughout history. The book explores Plato's ideas in depth, examining how they relate to scientific theories of the natural world, mathematics, and ethics. Bussell also discusses how Plato's dualism has been interpreted and critiqued by other philosophers, such as Aristotle and Kant. Overall, ""Plato And The Inherent Dualism Of Scientific Knowledge"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between philosophy and science, and how the ideas of one can shape the development of the other. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy and the evolution of scientific thought.THIS 18 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: School of Plato: Its Origin, Development, and Revival Under the Roman Empire, by F.
