      Following from the centuries of philosophical and religious thinkers who have studied and used Plato’s 4^th 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 20^th Century Post-Modern philosophy.

Finamore is Professor of Classics at the University of Iowa.  He has published widely on Plato and the Platonic Tradition, including two books on the Neoplatonist Iamblichus, Iamblichus and the Theory of the Vehicle of the Soul (Scholars Press 1985) and (with John Dillon), Iamblichus:  De Anima (Brill 2002).
