Publisher Synopsis
Charles Kahn has been a major presence in the world of ancient Greek philosophy since his first publications at the end of the 1950s. The present volume, a Festschrift, contains an 11-page list of his publications, and anyone working in the field will instantly recognize many of the titles and know their importance. Post-Aristotelian philosophy features rarely, Aristotle somewhat less rarely, Plato (especially 'early' Plato) and the Presocratics heavily. Hence the title and focus of this book, though in fact of the three essays in the fourth and final section of the book, 'Plato and Beyond', two are on Neoplatonism (the other on Aristotle). The other sections are: 'The Presocratics' (six essays); 'Plato: Studies in Individual Dialogues' (nine essays); and 'Themes in Plato' (five essays). Given Kahn's longevity and importance, it is no surprise to see that the list of contributors, friends and students, is star-studded.-Robin WaterfieldThe Heythrop Journal Read more...
