FROM PLATO TO PLATONISM
Book ID/图书代码： 03360013B64628
English Summary/英文概要： Was Plato a Platonist? While ancient disciples of Plato would have answered this question in the affirmative, modern scholars have generally denied that Plato’s own philosophy was in substantial agreement with that of the Platonists of succeeding centuries. In From Plato to Platonism, Lloyd P. Gerson argues that the ancients were correct in their assessment. He arrives at this conclusion in an especially ingenious manner, challenging fundamental assumptions about how Plato’s teachings have come to be understood. Through deft readings of the philosophical principles found in Plato’s dialogues and in the Platonic tradition beginning with Aristotle, he shows that Platonism, broadly conceived, is the polar opposite of naturalism and that the history of philosophy from Plato until the seventeenth century was the history of various efforts to find the most consistent and complete version of “anti-naturalism."
Gerson contends that the philosophical position of Plato—Plato’s own Platonism, so to speak—was produced out of a matrix he calls “Ur-Platonism.” According to Gerson, Ur-Platonism is the conjunction of five “antis” that in total arrive at anti-naturalism: anti-nominalism, anti-mechanism, anti-materialism, anti-relativism, and anti-skepticism. Plato’s Platonism is an attempt to construct the most consistent and defensible positive system uniting the five “antis.” It is also the system that all later Platonists throughout Antiquity attributed to Plato when countering attacks from critics including Peripatetics, Stoics, and Sceptics. In conclusion, Gerson shows that Late Antique philosophers such as Proclus were right in regarding Plotinus as “the great exegete of the Platonic revelation."
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 柏拉图是柏拉图主义者吗？虽然古代柏拉图的弟子对这个问题的回答是肯定的，但现代学者一般都否认柏拉图自己的哲学本质和随后几个世纪柏拉图主义者的是一样的。在《从柏拉图到柏拉图主义》中，劳埃德•P•格尔森认为古人的评估是正确的。他用了一种非常巧妙的方式来得到这个结论，挑战了关于如何理解柏拉图教导的基本假设。通过巧妙的阅读在柏拉图的对话中和在柏拉图与亚里士多德的传统开始众发现的哲学原则，他表示柏拉图主义的大致设想是自然主义的对立面，而且哲学的历史从柏拉图到17世纪都是在努力寻找最一致和完整版的“反自然”。
格尔森辩称，柏拉图的哲学立场——柏拉图自己的柏拉图主义产生了而一个他称之为“乌尔柏拉图主义”的模型。根据格尔森所说的，乌尔柏拉图主义结合了”反对派“五大条件，最终得出了“反自然主义”：反唯名论、反机制、反物质、反相对论和反怀疑论。柏拉图的柏拉图主义是对构建最一致和最稳固的积极系统来团结”反对派“的五大主义的一种尝试。这个体系也让当亚里士多德派，斯多葛派和怀疑论者等批评者的抨击到来时，其随后所有的柏拉图主义者都团结起来。总之，格尔森表明，晚仿古哲学家如普罗克洛斯将普罗提诺称为“柏拉图式启示的最伟大的诠释者”是正确的。(LNL)
