Plato's Philebus (RLE

Více o knize

Focusing on ethics, this work reevaluates Plato's late philosophy through the lens of the Philebus, challenging conventional interpretations. Donald Davidson argues that the dialogue reflects a significant return to earlier methodologies, particularly the Socratic elenchus. He highlights the notable resurgence of Socrates as a central figure, suggesting that this shift connects with deeper philosophical themes present in Plato's earlier works. Davidson's analysis offers fresh insights into the evolution of Plato's thought and its implications for ethical discourse.
