Book Description
Prior to the publication of "Plato's Late Ontology" in 1983, there was general agreement among Plato scholars that the theses attributed to Plato in Book A of Aristotle's "Metaphysics" can not be found in the dialogues. "Plato's Late Ontology" presented a textually based argument that in fact these theses appear both in the "Philebus" and in the second part of the "Parmenides", which link the contents of these dialogues with other long-standing puzzles of Platonic scholarship. The pivotal point of the argument is a number of synonyms for the expressions used by Aristotle in reporting Plato's views, found in the Greek commentators on Aristotle writing during the 3rd to the 6th Centuries A.D. These synonyms are also used by Plato himself in discussing the theses in question. The present book is a reprint of "Plato's Late Ontology" along with a recent article showing that a subset of these theses can also be found in the section of measurement appearing in the middle of the "Statesman". The argument to this effect is an extension of that in "Plato's Late Ontology", but is supported by a much expanded list of synonyms from the Greek commentators. The appearance of the theses in question in the "Statesman" augments the original argument for their presence in the "Parmenides" and the "Philebus".
Review
"Many theories have been produced to explain Aristotle's account of Plato's teaching, because that account seemed to bear little resemblance to the extant dialogues. Sayre persuasively resolves the riddle by offering an analysis of the later dialogues matching the Aristotelian report point by point. Arguing carefully and keeping close to the texts, Sayre has produced an original interpretation that no future reading of Plato can ignore." -- Frederick J. Crosson, University of Notre Dame
