Plato and Platonism: Plato's Conception of Appearence and Reality in Ontology, Epistemology, and Ethnics, and its Modern Echoes

"As a historian, one may like or dislike Moravcsik's conception of Plato's philosophy. Yet, as a philosoper, one cannot but find it provocative. His Plato is not "the Platonist" of modern ontological debates, but neither is he so removed from our present concerns that he can only be an object of antiquarian interest. It is to be hoped that the Issues in Ancient Philosophy series will continue to publish books which similarly challenge our complacency about the adequacy of the pigeon holes in which we place the ancients."
