    by Lloyd P. Gerson ...
    Unearthing Platonism explores various aspects of Platonism, the dominant philosophical tradition in the west until the nineteenth century.

  • Plato's Moral Realism

    by Lloyd P. Gerson ...
    Plato's moral realism rests on the Idea of the Good, the unhypothetical first principle of all. It is this, as Plato says, that makes just things useful and beneficial. That Plato makes the first principle of all the Idea of the Good sets his approach apart from that of virtually every other philosopher.

  • From Plato to Platonism

    by Lloyd P. Gerson ...
    "Gerson's book is a highly valuable, well-written contribution to Platonism research. It persuasively makes a case for understanding Plato's philosophy as a coherent system that has an intricate and meaningful relation to later Platonistic philosophical positions.

  • Plotinus-Arg Philosophers

    by Lloyd P. Gerson ...
    First published in 1999. We are fortunate in possessing a fascinating document, The Life of Plotinus, written by the philosopher Porphyry, a pupil and associate of Plotinus for the last eight years of his life.
