Beskrivning

This book honours the scholarly contributions of Paul Kalligas through a collection of essays that explore the diverse dimensions of the Platonic tradition. It investigates central questions: How did interpretations of Plato’s thought evolve across institutional, dogmatic, and inspirational frameworks? What role did Plotinus play in systematising Platonism, and how did his work engage with earlier philosophical discourse? Spanning the Presocratics to late antiquity, the essays provide fresh perspectives on Plato’s metaphysics, Aristotle’s critical engagement with his master, and the Neoplatonic synthesis of classical thought. Anchored by Kalligas’ seminal scholarship on the Enneads, this volume represents a significant advancement in the study of ancient philosophy. It is an indispensable read for scholars of Platonism and the history of ideas.
