Plato's Doctrine of Ideas is a comprehensive analysis of the philosophical concept of Ideas, or Forms, as developed by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. Written by John Alexander Stewart, a prominent scholar of ancient philosophy, the book provides a detailed examination of the nature and significance of Ideas in Plato's thought, and their role in his theory of knowledge, metaphysics, and ethics.The book begins with an overview of Plato's life and works, and the historical and intellectual context in which he developed his ideas. It then explores the concept of Ideas itself, examining its various aspects, including its ontological status, its relationship to the material world, and its role in the acquisition of knowledge.Stewart also discusses the significance of Ideas in Plato's ethical and political thought, arguing that they provide a basis for his vision of a just society and a good life. He examines the relationship between Ideas and the human soul, and the implications of this relationship for Plato's views on the nature of the self and the meaning of human existence.Throughout the book, Stewart draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, including Plato's dialogues, ancient commentaries, and modern scholarship. He provides a clear and accessible account of Plato's complex and nuanced philosophy, making it an essential resource for students and scholars of ancient philosophy and intellectual history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
