  • Plato on Not-Being

    Open AccessG E L Owen, George E OwenCHAPTERPlato1971

    Platonists who doubt that they are Spectators of Being must settle for the knowledge that they are investigators of the verb "to be". Their investigations make them familiar with certain commonplaces of the subject for which, among Plato's dialogues, the Sophist is held to contain the chief evidence. But the evidence is not there, and the attempt to find it has obstructed the interpretation of that hard and powerful dialogue. The commonplaces tha…

  • Notes on Ryle’s Plato

    Open AccessG E L Owen, George E OwenCHAPTERRyle1970

    In 1939 Gilbert Ryle broached his apparently inexhaustible cask of new thoughts on Plato. He argued in a paper and a book-review in Mind that the Parmenides was "an early essay in the theory of types."1 He found the same interests active in the Theaetetus and Sophist, other late dialogues which have philosophical and dramatic ties with the Parmenides. A year or so earlier, in "Categories," he had paid Aristotle a modified compliment, but his Aris…

    The first part of this paper tries to account for an apparent discrepancy between Aristotle’s preaching and his practice on a point of method. The second part reinforces the first by suggesting a common source for many of the problems and methods found in the Physics

  • Eleatic Questions

    Open AccessG E L OwenARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1960Cited by: 8References: 2

    The following suggestions for the interpretation of Parmenides and Melissus can be grouped for convenience about one problem. This is the problem whether, as Aristotle thought and as most commentators still assume, Parmenides wrote his poem in the broad tradition of Ionian and Italian cosmology. The details of Aristotle's interpretation have been challenged over and again, but those who agree with his general assumptions take comfort from some or…

  • A Proof in the ΠΕΡΙ ΙΔΕΩΝ

    Open AccessG E L Owen, George E OwenARTICLEThe Journal of Hellenic Studies1957

    In his lost essay περὶ ἰδεῶν Aristotle retailed and rebutted a number of Academic arguments for the existence of Ideas. Several of these, together with Aristotle's objections to them, are preserved in Alexander's commentary on A 9 of the Metaphysics. The first object of the following discussion is to show the sense and the provenance of one, the most complex and puzzling, of these surviving arguments. For several reasons it seems to deserve more …

  • The Place of the Timaeus in Plato's Dialogues

    Open AccessG E L Owen, George E OwenARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1953Cited by: 15References: 1

    It is now nearly axiomatic among Platonic scholars that the Timaeus and its unfinished sequel the Critias belong to the last stage of Plato's writings. The Laws (including, for those who admit its claims, the Epinomis ) is generally held to be wholly or partly a later production. So, by many, is the Philebus , but that is all. Perhaps the privileged status of the Timaeus in the Middle Ages helped to fix the conviction that it embodies Plato's mat…
