In Platonic Legacies John Sallis addresses certain archaic or
exorbitant moments in Platonism. His concern is to expose such
moments as those expressed in the Platonic phrase "beyond being"
and in the enigmatic word chora. Thus he ventures to renew
chorology and to bring it to bear, most directly, on Platonic
political discourse and Plotinian hyperontology. More broadly, he
shows what profound significance these most archaic moments of
Platonism, which remained largely unheeded in the history of
philosophy, have for contemporary discussions of spacings, of
utopian politics, of the nature of nature, and of the relation
between philosophy and tragedy. Thus addressing Platonism in its
bearing on contemporary philosophy, Platonic Legacies engages, in
turn, a series of philosophers ranging from Nietzsche, Heidegger,
and Arendt to certain contemporary American Continental
philosophers. These engagements focus on the way in which these
recent and contemporary philosophers take up the Platonic legacies
in their own thought and on the way in which the exposure of an
archaic Platonism can redirect or supplement what they have
accomplished.
