History of Platonism : Plato redivivus Berchman, Robert M., Finamore, John F., 2005&#160;Following from the centuries of philosophical and religious thinkers who have studied and used Plato’s 4th Century B.C. doctrines, this anthology offers interpretations of Plato’s own works. The authors consider the intermediary role of Aristotle, the Neoplatonism of Plotinus, the religious and mystical theories of later Neoplatonic sources (including Egyptian writings), the effect of Platonic philosophy on Jewish writers during the Middle Ages, the adaptations of Cambridge Platonists, the Neoplatonic basis of Jung’s psychological writings, and the role of Plato’s doctrines in 20th Century Post-Modern philosophy.&#160;Table of Contents:Republic VI 509a9-c10 and its interpretation in antiquity : dialogical or dogmatic reading - Luc BrissonImmortality vs. tripartition : the soul in Plato - Gwendolyn GruberThe tripartite Soul in Plato's Republic and Phaedrus - John F.
