AQUINASANDTHEPLATONISTTRADITION

Fran O' Rourke

Studies in Philosophy and the History of Philosophy

Aquinas and the Platonist Tradition studies a variety of central topics to illustrate the pervasive influence of Platonism and Neoplatonism in the philosophy of St Thomas. The overall thesis is that Aquinas combined the transcendent impulse of Platonism with the natural sensibility of Aristotle; his deepest metaphysical intuitions are unmistakably Platonist. While Aquinas followed Aristotle in epistemology, his deeper insights were more in tune with Plato.

PLATONICPRINCIPLES

EssaysinHonorofLloydGerson

Edited by Carl Sean O'brien & Sarah Klitenic Wear

In a series of specially commissioned essays, an international team of scholars examine both Platonism’s metaphysical principles (the One or the Form of the Good and the Indefinite Dyad: the principles that account for unity and multiplicity) and the tradition’s role as a source for ethical and political principles. In honor of Lloyd Gerson’s remarkable contribution to Platonic scholarship, the full breadth of the tradition has been explored: from Plato’s own manipulation of the wisdom that preceded him via his students in the Old Academy, Speusippus and Aristotle, and on to the Middle Platonic (Alcinous) and Neoplatonic (Plotinus, Proclus, Damascius) phases.

PLATO’SREPUBLICRETOLD

Kenneth Quandt

In Plato’s Republic, Socrates retells a life-changing conversation he had the day before with none other than the author’s two older brothers. Here, as elsewhere, Socrates carefully listened to what his interlocutors said but also to what they did not say. The gap between the spoken and the unspoken is what motivates his penetrating and challenging questions, and confers upon both questions and answers their dramatic force and significance: talk becomes action.

ATranslationandCommentary

Monique Dixsaut Translated by Kenneth Quandt

In a world saturated with images, deceptive appearances, and superficial debates driven by monetary values, Plato’s Sophist confronts modern culture’s counterfeit discourse. Its exploration of language’s potential for truth, anchored in being, challenges us to rethink reality.

THEGORGIASOFPLATO

Kenneth Quandt

In its Golden Age, Athens was both the most powerful and most democratic of Ancient Greece's city-states. This exalted status called into being a new art – the art of oratory – with which the wealth and prominence of a political career could be won by mere speech. Itinerant teachers of the new techniques of persuasion bedazzled ambitious men with the prospect of power and, for a significant fee, taught them how to pursue it. By a miracle to which we owe the foundations of our Western Civilization, philosophy was born in Athens during this same period, most saliently in the person of Socrates, whose life coincided with the Athenian Golden Age.
