Plato on Knowledge and Forms

Plato on Knowledge and Forms brings together a set of connected essays by Gail Fine in her main area of research since the late 1970s: Plato''s metaphysics and epistemology. She discusses central issues in Plato''s metaphysics and epistemology issues concerning the nature and extent of knowledge and its relation to perception sensibles and forms; and issues concerning the nature of forms such as whether they are universals or particulars separate or immanent and whether they are causes. A specially written introduction draws together the themes of the volume which will reward the attention of anyone interested in Plato or in ancient metaphysics and epistemology.
