Richard D. Mohr's God and Forms in Plato,
By
This review is from: God and Forms in Plato (Paperback)
This book is a revised and expanded editon of a 1985 book The Platonic Cosmology by the same author. As explained on p.ix of the preface to the 2005 edition, the author attempts to "place Plato's cosmological commitments in the Timaeus, Statesman, and Philebus into a wider metaphysical context." A sequence of highly imformative essays allows the author to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of Plato's physics, psychology, epistemology, and theology. Unlike many Anglo-American critics of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, who chose to ignore the important aspects of late Platonism, the author takles issues relating to Time and Eternity, Space and Phenomenal World, Reason and God. The nature and characteristics of Plato's Craftsman God (Timaeus 28a6,29a3,41a7, 42e8, 62e2, 69c3; Philebus 27b1) or Maker (Timaeus 28c3; Philebus 27a5)are discussed and explained not through the lens of Aristotle's Physics II or Metaphysics XII but to put it in layman's terms, as Plato would have explained it, if he were alive today. A well-documented and thoughtfully written book indeed!!!
