Description

This comprehensive study examines Plato's theological doctrines and offers a significant re-evaluation of the status of Plato's gods and the relationship between metaphysics and theology in Platonic philosophy. Gerd Van Riel investigates how Plato innovatively spoke about the gods, exploring the tension between traditional anthropomorphic conceptions and Plato's more abstract theological principles. The book traces Plato's views on religion and its connection to morality, revealing how Platonic theology presents diverging tendencies that simultaneously portray gods as perfect moral agents, cosmological principles, and celestial bodies. This Routledge volume provides scholars and students with essential insights into ancient Greek philosophy and the development of theological thought within the Platonic tradition.
