Knowledge and Ignorance of Self in Platonic Philosophy is the first
volume of essays dedicated to the whole question of self-knowledge
and its role in Platonic philosophy. It brings together established
and rising scholars from every interpretative school of Plato
studies, and a variety of texts from across Plato's corpus -
including the classic discussions of self-knowledge in the
Charmides and Alcibiades I, and dialogues such as the Republic,
Theaetetus, and Theages, which are not often enough mined for
insights about this crucial philosophical topic. The rich variety
of readings and hermeneutical methods (as well as the comprehensive
research bibliography included in the volume) allows for an
encompassing view of the relevant scholarly debates. The volume is
intended to serve as a standard resource for further research on
Plato's treatment of self-knowledge, and will highlight the
relevance of Plato's thought to contemporary debates on selfhood,
self-reflection and subjectivity.
