A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Among the founders of western thought, Plato (c. 428-348 BCE) came from Athens, where he established the original Academy. His most celebrated student was Aristotle. So central were intellectual exchange and questioning for Plato that he wrote his works as dialogues, one voice being that of his own true-life tutor Socrates.

His focus is ancient Platonism, from Plato to Olympiodorus. He has authored or co-authored 10 books in that field, and edited or co-edited others.
