Plato and Aristotle in Agreement? - Platonists on Aristotle From Antiochus to Porphyry

Zusatztext Karamanolis' exposition is fluid and unpedantic Informationen zum Autor George E. Karamanolis is Assistant Professor in Ancient Philosophy at the University of Crete. Klappentext George Karamanolis breaks new ground in the study of later ancient philosophy by examining the interplay of the two main schools of thought, Platonism and Aristotelianism, from the first century BC to the third century AD. Arguing against prevailing scholarly assumption, he argues that the Platonists turned to Aristotle only in order to elucidate Plato's doctrines and to reconstruct Plato's philosophy, and that they did not hesitate to criticize Aristotle when judging him to be at odds with Plato. Karamanolis offers much food for thought to ancient philosophers and classicists.
