The present study sets out to clarify some issues in Plato¿s later thought. For one thing, the author suggests that Plato¿s Parmenides, far from acknowledging defeat vis-à-vis the charge of self-predication, clearly indicates that the criticism at stake is misguided. Plato, in fact, identifies patterns of thought in Speusippus¿s philosophy that contributed to such misunderstandings and hence must be subject to severe criticism. For another, the author proves that the epistemological passage in the Seventh Letter provides evidence that ¿ far from accepting the charge of self-predication ¿ Plato presented something like an error theory, showing what is wrong with the ideas concerned.Inasmuch as these theses run counter to current tendencies of mainstream scholarship, the present study provides a different perspective. Rather than settling somewhere in-between visions of self-criticism and honest perplexity on the part of Plato, we should consider that our philosopher may well have been on top of things, and thus was capable of arguing his case for the theory of forms against criticism arising from within the Academy.

Franz Steiner Verlag, 2010. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. The two essays collected here were published in German as translations of The Academy of Science and Literature, "Plato's Parmenides" in 2003 and "Philosophical Knowledge and Conceptual Representation Commentary on the Epistemological Excursus of the Seventh Letter" in 1989. Graeser (philosophy, U. of Bern) argues that in Parmenides Plato is showing Speusippus, his nephew and would-be successor as head of the Academy, how his conception of unity is bound to fail. The doctrine expounded in the epistemological excursus, he says, helps clarify what the so-called problem of reification of forms is all about. These positions are counter to current thinking. The translation is by Ann M. Hentschel, a colleague who is now at Stuttgart University. Only names are indexed. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
