D T J Bailey: Plato's Phaedo, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

D. T.J. Bailey here offers a student-friendly guide to Plato's dialogue Phaedo , as part of the Oxford Guides to Philosophy series. In the process of explaining the text, Bailey provides a picture of Plato's metaphysics as revealed by the four major arguments it contains. Offering a concise discussion of Platonic forms--the abstract objects Plato famously proposed--Bailey argues that Plato was thinking carefully about names and naming throughout the construction of the Phaedo . Readers of the Symposium and the Republic , those intrigued by the figure of Socrates, and those who believe in the immortality of the Soul will value Bailey's expert explanation of the thematic diversity contained in the Phaedo.
