Short description:
This volume gathers papers that shed new light on the cognitive dimensions of Plato’s conception of contemplation and the contemplative life.
MoreLong description:
How Plato appropriated the pilgrim’s theôria into his own philosophy has been the subject of many noble and insightful studies. When Plato took up this concept, he launched an understanding that would have a very long life in classical philosophy: the idea that doing philosophy itself has an essentially contemplative character was now explicitly formulated. But this only leads us to the next question: according to Plato, what is the nature of this contemplation as a form of cognition? How does philosophy, understood as theôria and as a cognitive activity, relate to other forms of cognition—perception, memory, recollection, imagination, and emotion? The essays collected in this book explore the nature of theôria as cognition, while also taking into account the metaphors, dramatic settings, and cultural background that frame Plato’s dialogues, showing it to be not only a “way of life” but also a form of knowledge.
