The essays in this book discuss a number of the central
metaphysical and ethical themes that engaged the minds of Platonist
philosophers during late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. One
particular theme is that of the structure of reality, with the
associated questions of the relations between soul and body and
between intelligible and sensible reality, and the existence of
mathematical objects. Other topics relate to evil and beauty,
political life and its purpose, the philosophical search for the
absolute Good, and how one can speak about this Absolute and have
union with it. Going from Plato to Eriugena, the ways in which
Platonist philosophers understood and developed these themes are
analysed and compared.
