Description

Explore a new interpretation of one of Plato's most complex works. In Myth, Metaphysics and Dialectic in Plato's Statesman, David White addresses the structural puzzles and disjointed transitions that have long challenged commentators. This scholarly analysis provides a way to understand the dialogue's diffuse nature by connecting its primary themes to the subsequent dialogues, The Philebus and The Laws. This book places a central focus on the extended myth often called the 'myth of the reversed cosmos.' Through this lens, White offers a clear framework for recognizing the dialogue's deeper connections and meaning. For students and scholars of Ancient Greek history and philosophy, this text provides a necessary bridge between the structural difficulties of the Statesman and the broader Platonic tradition.

Key Features

Provides a detailed interpretation of the dialogue's problematic and diffuse structure to help readers navigate its transitions.

Connects the primary themes of The Statesman with the subsequent Platonic dialogues, The Philebus and The Laws.

Offers a central interpretive focus on the extended myth known as the 'myth of the reversed cosmos.'

Helps scholars recognize the specific connections between the dialogue's themes and its broader philosophical context.

Published by Routledge, ensuring a high standard of academic research for students of Ancient Greek civilization.
