Unity and Development in Plato's Metaphysics (RLE: Plato) (Paperback)

Studies of Plato s metaphysics have tended to emphasise either the radical change between the early Theory of Forms and the late doctrines of the Timaeus and the Sophist, or to insist on a unity of approach that is unchanged throughout Plato s career. The author lays out an alternative approach. Focussing on two metaphysical doctrines of central importance to Plato s thought the Theory of Forms and the doctrine of Being and Becoming he suggests a continuous progress can be traced through Plato s works. He presents his argument through an examination of the metaphysical sections of six of the dialogues: the Euthyphro, Phaedo, Republic, Parmenides, Timaeus, and Sophist.
