The Unity Of Plato's Thought (1903) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161829167)

""The Unity of Plato's Thought"" is a book written by Paul Shorey and published in 1903. The book aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the philosophical ideas of Plato, one of the most influential thinkers in Western philosophy. Shorey argues that Plato's thought is unified and coherent, despite the apparent diversity of his works. The book is divided into two parts. In the first part, Shorey examines the metaphysical and epistemological foundations of Plato's philosophy, including his theory of Forms, his views on knowledge and reality, and his concept of the Good. In the second part, Shorey explores the ethical and political implications of Plato's thought, focusing on his ideas about justice, the ideal state, and the role of the philosopher in society. Throughout the book, Shorey emphasizes the importance of understanding Plato's philosophy as a whole, rather than focusing on individual dialogues or ideas in isolation. He argues that Plato's thought is characterized by a deep concern for the nature of reality, the human condition, and the ultimate purpose of human life. Overall, ""The Unity of Plato's Thought"" is a seminal work in the field of Platonic studies, offering a detailed and insightful analysis of one of the most important and complex philosophical systems in the Western tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
