Der hellenistische Rahmen des kaiserzeitlichen Platonismus

Viac o knihe

Volume 2 examines the interest which Plato and his teachings aroused outside the Academy during the Hellenistic Period. The annotated source material reports criticism and praise, rejection and recognition of Plato. It also describes the first endeavors of ancient grammarians to compile the Corpus Platonicum as well as the efforts to see Plato (like Pythagoras before him) as a herald of eastern wisdom and thought.
