Emotions in PlatoSeries: Brill's Plato Studies Series, Volume: 4Editors: Laura Candiotto and Olivier RenautEmotions ( pathè) such as anger, fear, shame, and envy, but also pity, wonder, love and friendship have long been underestimated in Plato’s philosophy. The aim of Emotions in Plato is to provide a consistent account of the role of emotions in Plato’s psychology, epistemology, ethics and political theory. The volume focuses on three main issues: taxonomy of emotions, their epistemic status, and their relevance for the ethical and political theory and practice. This volume, which is the first edited volume entirely dedicated to emotions in Plato’s philosophy, shows how Plato, in many aspects, was positively interested in these affective states in order to support the rule of reason.E-book ISBN: 978-90-04-43227-7Publisher ISBN: 978-90-04-42943-7Publication Date: 21 May 2020DOI: https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004432277&#160;Table of contents&#160;Introduction: Why Plato Comes FirstLaura Candiotto and Olivier RenautPart 1: For a Taxonomy of Plato’s Emotions1 Epistemic Wonder and the Beginning of the Enquiry: Plato’s Theaetetus (155d2-4) and Its Wider SignificanceLaura Candiotto and Vasilis Politis2 The Feel of the Real: Perceptual Encounters in Plato’s Critique of PoetryPia Campeggiani3 Why Do Itches Itch?
