Description

The Heirs of Plato is the first book dedicated to an in-depth study of the philosophical directions taken by Plato's followers. Covering the period from 347 to 274 BC, this work focuses on the era known as 'The Old Academy.' Readers will explore how the three successive heads of the Academy - Speusippus, Xenocrates, and Polemon - managed Plato's legacy. While these leaders remained devoted to Plato's memory, they were independent philosophers who developed his heritage into individual directions. This study also examines other key personalities attached to the school, such as Philippu, providing a comprehensive look at the evolution of ancient Greek thought during these seventy years.
