Book Description
By Platonism, the author clarifies, is meant not Neo-Platonism of any kind, but the leading principles of Plato s doctrine, which I have tried to see in close connexion with himself as he is presented in his own writings. The critique here presented of Plato s work is never independent of Plato as a man or Plato as philosopher, but rather enables Pater to study the close relation between author and text. The diversity of areas covered is in itself a fine achievement, and Pater is able to give each area enough attention to make it self-sufficient (each chapter was originally a lecture), yet at the same time, he succeeds in unifying all the areas to make for a well-structured book. Especially interesting are the chapter which explores the relationship between Plato and Socrates; the chapter on Plato s aesthetics; the chapter on Plato s Republic; and the chapter dealing with the relationship between Plato and the Sophists.
About the Author
Walter Pater (1839-1894) was English essayist and critic. A leader in the 19th-century revival of interest in Renaissance art and Humanism, Pater was a formulator of the doctrine that art and aesthetics are in themselves one of the ends of life. His works, noted for their stylistic purity and precision, include "Studies in the History of the Renaissance" (1873); the philosophic novel "Marius the Epicurean" (1885), generally considered his masterpiece; "Plato and Platonism" (1893); the partly autobiographical "The Child in the House" (1894); "Greek Studies" (1895); and the five posthumously published chapters "Gaston de Latour" (1896), a novel left unfinished at his death.
