Essays on Plato's Epistemology

<p><b>An Innovating approach to Plato's philosophy. </b><br><br>Through a careful survey of several significant Platonic texts mainly focussing on the nature of knowledge Essays on Plato's Epistemology offers the reader a fresh and promising approach to Plato's philosophy as a whole. From the very earliest reception of Plato's philosophy there has been a conflict between a dogmatic and a sceptical interpretation of his work and thought. Moreover the two sides are often associated respectively with a metaphysical and an anti-metaphysical approach. This book continuing a line of thought that is nowadays strongly present in the secondary literature - and also followed by the author in over thirty years of research - maintains that a third way of thinking is required. Against the widespread view that an anti-dogmatic philosophy must go together with an anti-metaphysical stance Trabattoni shows that for Plato on the contrary a sober and reasonable assessment of both the powers and limits of human reason relies on a proper metaphysical outlook. <br><br>Ebook available in Open Access.<br>This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).</p>
