Platonic Production: Theme and Variations: The Gilson Lectures

Engaging with the philosophical dialogue between Heidegger and Plato, these lectures explore whether truth is discovered or produced. Prof. Stanley Rosen critiques Heidegger's interpretation of Plato while revealing their unexpected connections, particularly regarding metaphysical themes. He challenges the notion that Plato's ideas lead to modern nihilism, suggesting instead a deeper alignment with Heidegger's thought. Aimed at a broad audience, this work invites readers to reflect on the enduring relevance of metaphysics in both ancient and modern philosophy.
