A Less Familiar Plato: From Phaedo to Philebus by Kevin Corrigan (English) Hardc

Description: A Less Familiar Plato by Kevin Corrigan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Provides a guide to Plato in an unexpected key with well-grounded views of Platos works (particularly major middle to late dialogues). The reader meets important questions of perception, embodiment, mimetic art, imagination, divine inspiration, the Forms and the Good, beauty, myth and logos, and generative epistemic art. Publisher Description In this book, Kevin Corrigan sheds light on aspects of Platos thought that are less familiar to contemporary readers. He reveals a Plato who believes in Forms but is not essentialist, who develops a scientific view of perception in the middle and late dialogues, and who offers positive models of art and science. Corrigan shows how Plato articulates a broader view of intelligible reality in which embodiment is affirmative and the mind-soul-body continuum has an eidetic structure, and where even failure and the imperfect are included. He also demonstrates that Plato developed an ideal, yet finely layered view of love that provided a practical guide throughout antiquity; and that the dialogues and unwritten teachings can be understood in a mutually open-ended, non-antagonistic way. Corrigans book provides a guide to Plato in an unexpected key and poses important questions regarding imagination, divine inspiration, and Forms and the Good, among other topics.
