Description: The Structure of Enquiry in Plato's Early Dialogues by Vasilis Politis Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Providing an alternative to the traditional interpretation, this book defends a radically new view of Platos method of argument in the early dialogues, centred on dilemmas and aporiai. Offering new directions for the debate around Platos method, it will be a valuable resource for advanced students and scholars of Plato. Publisher Description This book proposes and defends a radically new account of Platos method of argument and enquiry in his early dialogues. Vasilis Politis challenges the traditional account according to which these dialogues are basically about the demand for definitions, and questions the equally traditional view that what lies behind Platos method of argument is a peculiar theory of knowledge. He argues that these dialogues are enquiries set in motion by dilemmas and aporiai, incorporating both a sceptical and an anti-sceptical dimension, and he contends that Plato introduces the demand for definitions, and the search for essences, precisely in order to avoid a sceptical conclusion and hold out the prospect that knowledge can be achieved. His argument will be of great value to all readers interested in Platos dialogues and in methods of philosophical argument more generally. Author Biography Vasilis Politis is Head of Philosophy and Director of the Plato Centre at Trinity College Dublin. He is co-editor of The Aporetic Tradition in Ancient Philosophy (with Giorgos Karamanolis, Cambridge, 2017), and has published numerous essays in journals including Phronesis.
