Description: George Karamanolis examines the interplay of the two main schools of thought in ancient philosophy, Platonism and Aristotelianism. He argues, against prevailing scholarly views, that the Platonists turned to Aristotle only in order to elucidate Plato's doctrines, and did not hesitate to criticize Aristotle when judging him to be at odds with Plato.
Review Quotes: "This is a self-standing contribution to the history of Platonsm, and it should reshape our view of the traditional boundary between Middle Platonism and Neoplatonism."--Harold Tarant, Ancient Philosophy
