Excerpt from The Vitality of Platonism, and Other Essays These essays were read by my husband as papers or lectures on various occasions. The Divine Origin of the Soul was published in Cambridge Praelections, 1906, and The Moral and Intellectual Value of Classical Education in the Emmanuel College Magazine, Vol. vii. I have to thank the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press and the editor of the magazine respectively for their kind permission to reprint them. The Vitality of Platonism was read to the Classical Society at Aberdeen University in 1902, and to a similar society in Edinburgh in the following year. The Doctrine of the Logos in Heraclitus is a paper read before the Oxford University Philological Society in 1906. The essay entitled The Hymn of Cleanthes contains the substance of three lectures delivered in 1906 at Westminster College, Cambridge, before a Summer School of Theology.

This book, which honours the career of a distinguished scholar, contains essays dealing with important problems in Plato, the Platonic tradition, and the texts and transmission of Plato and later Platonic writers. It ranges from the discussion of issues in individual Platonic dialogues to the examination of Platonism in the Middle Ages. The essays are written by leading scholars in the field and reflect the current state of knowledge on the various problems under discussion. The collection as a whole testifies to the importance of the Platonic writings for the history of ideas, and to the vitality that the study of these writings continues to possess.
The last several decades have witnessed an explosion of research in Platonic philosophy. A central focus of his philosophical effort, Plato's psychology is of interest both in its own right and as fundamental to his metaphysical and moral theories. This anthology offers, for the first time, a collection of the best classic and recent essays on cenral topics of Plato's psychological theory, including essays on the nature of the soul, studies of the tripartite soul for which Plato argues in the Republic, and analyses of his varied arguments for immortality. With a comprehensive introduction to the major issues of Plato's psychology and an up-to-date bibliography of work on the relevant issues, this much-needed text makes the study of Plato's psychology accessible to scholars in ancient Greek philosophy, classics, and history of psychology.
Acclaimed philosopher and novelist Rebecca Newberger Goldstein provides a dazzlingly original plunge into the drama of philosophy, revealing its hidden role in today's debates on religion, morality, politics, and science.
