Forms and Structure in Plato's Metaphysics by Anna Marmodoro (English) Hardcover

Description: Forms and Structure in Plato's Metaphysics by Anna Marmodoro Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book investigates the thought of two of the most influential philosophers of antiquity, Plato and his predecessor Anaxagoras, with respect to their metaphysical accounts of objects and their properties. The book introduces a fresh perspective on these two thinkers ideas, displaying the debt of Platos theory on Anaxagorass, and principally arguing that their core metaphysical concept is overlap; overlap between properties and things in the world. InitiallyPlato endorses Anaxagorass model of constitutional overlap, and subsequently develops qualitative overlap. Overlap is the crux to our understanding of objects participating in Forms in Platosmetaphysics; of Platos account of relata without relations; of the role of Forms as causes; of the metaphysics of necessity; and of the role of the Great Kinds and of the paradeigma in the development of Platos thought. Anna Marmodoro argues that Plato is ground-breaking in the history of metaphysics, in different ways from those acknowledged so far, and with respect to more metaphysical questions than had been hitherto appreciated; e.g. Platos treatment ofstructure as property; of complexity; and his introduction of the first ever account of metaphysical emergence. In addition to these results, Marmodoro makes Anaxagorass and Platos systemsphilosophically accessible to us, todays philosophers, by applying conceptual tools from analytic metaphysics to the study of ancient metaphysics. In this way, the book brings Anaxagorass and Platos ideas to bear on todays philosophical discussions and opens up new venues of research for current philosophical discussions.
