This book is a comprehensive interpretation of Plato's metaphysics in the
analytic tradition. Its progenitors include Vlastos and Owen, but Silverman's
approach arguably originates with Aristotle. His methodology is traditional: he
begins with the claim that the Theory of Forms is at "the core of Plato's
entire philosophy" (i). he accepts the tripartite division of the dialogues into
early, middle and late (11-12), a chronology which was virtually Holy Writ
when discussion of this issue was at its height, but which is now under
scrutiny. Silverman's account of the development of Plato's metaphysics is a
conservative one. He agrees with Vlastos that the Socrates of the early
dialogues is not a metaphysician, though those dialogues contain the basis of
a metaphysics of properties. Platonic metaphysics proper begins with the
separation of the Forms in the Phaedo. The story after that is one of Plato's
growing recognition, particularly in the Parmenides and Sophist, of the
complexity of relations among Forms. The Philebus and Timaeus (which
Silverman regards as late) offer theories of the nature of particulars that are
an advance over anything in earlier dialogues. Plato's ontology, Silverman
thinks, undergoes development but no radical changes of direction. The
audience at which Silverman avowedly aims is "the expert who is familiar
with the primary metaphysical passages in the dialogues, as well as the
secondary literature" (9).
Response: Paraphrase, ask questions or clarify
Plato’s theory of forms is the core of his philosophy. His
metaphysics is a conservative one. His recognition is based on
forms. His ontology undergoes development but doesn’t change
radically.
