ABSTRACT

What can the study of the history of ancient philosophy bring to the study of contemporary philosophical problems and questions? In New Essays on Plato and Aristotle eight distinguished philosophers address topics in Greek philosophy that are connected with current philosophical issues. All the essays are original and include Gilbert Ryle on Dialectic in the Academy and R. M. Hare on Plato’s indictment of mathematicians.

Second, why does Plato think the Forms are "more real" in this sense than are their sensible instances ? Third, what are the philosophical merits and demerits of this doctrine ? is a fairly common meaning of "real" in spoken and writ­ ten Greek. Thus Plato will say, "to speak (or, think) the real" for "to speak (or, think) the truth". Moreover, in Greek, as in
