Knowing Persons

Více o knize

Exploring Plato's account of persons, this study situates his psychology within a two-world metaphysics, presenting embodied individuals as reflections of an ideal, disembodied state. Gerson argues that these individuals embody the conflicts of the sensible world. Central to his analysis is the assertion that philosophy serves as a pathway to self-recognition and understanding one's true identity, highlighting the enduring relevance of Plato's ideas to contemporary philosophical discourse.
