Platonism: Chief Ancient Philosophies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162951430)

Platonism: Chief Ancient Philosophies by Thomas B. Strong is a comprehensive study of the philosophical system developed by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. The book explores the key concepts and ideas of Platonism, including the theory of Forms, the immortality of the soul, and the nature of reality. It also examines the influence of Platonism on subsequent philosophical traditions, including Neoplatonism, Renaissance humanism, and modern philosophy. The author provides a detailed analysis of Plato's major works, such as The Republic, The Symposium, and The Phaedo, and discusses the historical context in which they were written. The book is aimed at students and scholars of philosophy, but also provides an accessible introduction to Platonism for general readers interested in ancient Greek philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
