From Plato to Platonism by Lloyd P Gerson
Lloyd P. Gerson argues that Plato was a Platonist and challenges fundamental assumptions about how Platos teachings have come to be understood..the book is an important achievement. It is full of precious observations and suggestions. Even if someone is not fully convinced by the application of such an historical set of criteria he will find the book a highly rewarding reading.
-- Péter Lautner * The International Journal of the Platonic Tradition *Gerson's book is a highly valuable, well-written contribution to Plato nism research. It persuasively makes a case for understanding Plato's philosophy as a coherent system that has an intricate and meaningful relation to later Platonistic philosophical positions. From this point, Plato appears as a Platonist indeed.
-- Claas Lattman * CLASSICAL JOURNAL *Lloyd P. Gerson is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto. He is the author of many books, including Aristotle and Other Platonists, also from Cornell, and Knowing Persons: A Study in Plato, and editor of The Cambridge History of Philosophy in Late Antiquity.
