In search of thje truth - J. Opsomer

academic tendencies in Middle Platonism

KORTE INHOUD

'The book does useful work, and it will be good to have. In part this is because Opsomer brings together passages from sometimes little-studied authors (...) and connects them to give a broader picture of the philosophy of the time than many of us are used to. Perhaps more, it is because he brings to life philosophical themes scattered throughout the Plutarchan corpus, and lets us see better a Plutarchan mode of philosophy. Most of all, though, his own personal example helps to show what it might be like to actually believe in the Philonian and Plutarchan thesis of the unity of the Academy.' (STEPHEN MENN in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.08.19).
