In this book, Vasilis Politis argues that Plato's Forms are
essences, not merely things that have an essence. Politis shows
that understanding Plato's theory of Forms as a theory of essence
presents a serious challenge to contemporary philosophers who
regard essentialism as little more than an optional item on the
philosophical menu. This approach, he suggests, also constitutes a
sharp critique of those who view Aristotelian essentialism as the
only sensible position: Plato's essentialism, Politis demonstrates,
is a well-argued, rigorous, and coherent theory, and a viable
competitor to that of Aristotle. This book will appeal to students
and scholars with an interest in the intersection between
philosophy and the history of philosophy.
