How does a school of thought, in the area of philosophy, or indeed
of religion, from roots that may be initially open-ended and
largely informal, come to take on the features that later mark it
out as distinctive, and even exclusive? That is the theme which is
explored in this book in respect of the philosophical movement
known as Platonism, stemming as it does from the essentially
open-ended and informal atmosphere of Plato's Academy. John Dillon
focuses on a number of key issues, such as monism versus dualism,
the metaphysical underpinnings of ethical theory, the theory of
Forms, and the reaction to the Sceptical 'deviation' represented by
the so-called 'New Academy'. The book is written in the lively and
accessible style of the lecture series in Beijing from which it
originates.
