Item description from seller

XV, 272 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag berieben, weist außerdem Kratzer auf, sonst sehr gut und sauber / dust jacket rubbed, also has scratches, otherwise very good and clean. - There is a mystery at the heart of Plato's Parmenides. In the first part, Parmenides criticizes what is widely regarded as Plato's mature theory of forms, and, in the second, he promises to explain how the forms can be saved from these criticisms. Ever since the dialogue was written, scholars have struggled to determine how the two parts of the work fit together. Did Plato mean us to abandon, keep, or modify the theory of forms, on the strength of Parmenides' criticisms? Samuel Rickless offers something that has never been done before: a careful reconstruction of every argument in the dialogue. He concludes that Plato's main aim was to argue that the theory of forms should be modified by allowing that forms can have contrary properties. To grasp this is to solve the mystery of the Parmenides and understand its crucial role in Plato's philosophical development. / Contents Preface List of abbreviations Introduction 1 The theory of forms 1.1 The high theory 1.2 The higher theory 2 The theory criticized 2.1 The extent of the forms 2.2 Parts and wholes 2.3 The Third Man 2.4 Forms as thoughts 2.5 Paradigmatism 2.6 The Greatest Difficulty 2.7 Conclusion 3 The theory modified: methodology 4 The First Deduction 5 The Second Deduction 6 From the Appendix to the Fourth Deduction 6.1 The Appendix to the first two Deductions 6.2 The Third Deduction 6.3 The Fourth Deduction 7 From the Fifth to the Eighth Deduction 7.1 The Fifth Deduction 7.2 The Sixth Deduction 7.3 The Seventh Deduction.
