On Beginning in Plato's Timaeus

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"The major American philosopher... makes us want to re-read the Platonic text with fascination. And that is but its grandest gift." -Daniel Guerriere, professor emeritus of philosophy at California State University, Long Beach In Chorology, John Sallis takes up one of the most enigmatic discourses in the history of philosophy. Plato's discourse on the chora-the chorology-forms the pivotal moment in the Timaeus. The implications of the chorology are momentous and communicate with many of the most decisive issues in contemporary philosophical discussions. "This excellent work... deserves the serious consideration of all who are interested in contemporary philosophy as well as those who concern themselves with ancient philosophy, especially Plato." - Review of Metaphysics
