This third collection of articles by John Dillon covers the period
1996-2006, the decade since the appearance of The Great Tradition.
Once again, the subjects covered range from Plato himself and the
Old Academy, through Philo and Middle Platonism, to the
Neoplatonists and beyond. Particular concerns evidenced in the
papers are the continuities in the Platonic tradition, and the
setting of philosophers in their social and cultural contexts,
while at the same time teasing out the philosophical implications
of particular texts. Such topics are addressed as atomism in the
Old Academy, Philo's concept of immateriality, Plutarch's and
Julian's views on theology, and peculiar features of Iamblichus'
exegeses of Plato and Aristotle, but also the broader questions of
the social position of the philosopher in second century A.D.
society, and the nature of ancient biography.
