A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Plato and Platonism is a philosophy essay by Walter Horatio Pater that states: "Plato has seemed to many to have been scarcely less than the creator of philosophy; and it is an immense advance he makes, from the crude or turbid beginnings of scientific enquiry with the Ionians or the Eleatics, to that wide range of perfectly finished philosophical literature."
