{"product_id":"the-fog-dispelled-andreas-graeser-9783515096461","title":"The Fog Dispelled: Two Studies in Plato's Later Thought","description":"The present study sets out to clarify some issues in Plato's later thought. For one thing, the author suggests that Plato's \u003cb\u003eParmenides\u003c\/b\u003e, far from acknowledging defeat vis-a-vis the charge of self-predication, clearly indicates that the criticism at stake is misguided. Plato, in fact, identifies patterns of thought in Speusippus's philosophy that contributed to such misunderstandings and hence must be subject to severe criticism. For another, the author proves that the epistemological passage in the \u003cb\u003eSeventh Letter\u003c\/b\u003e provides evidence that - far from accepting the charge of self-predication - Plato presented something like an error theory, showing what is wrong with the ideas concerned. Inasmuch as these theses run counter to current tendencies of mainstream scholarship, the present study provides a different perspective. Rather than settling somewhere in-between visions of self-criticism and honest perplexity on the part of Plato, we should consider that our philosopher may well have been on top of things, and thus was capable of arguing his case for the theory of forms against criticism arising from within the Academy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andreas Graeser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3515096469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783515096461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 2","brand":"Andreas Graeser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48799243960575,"sku":"9783515096461","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fog-dispelled-andreas-graeser-9783515096461","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
