Plato's Authority and the Formation of Textual Communities
Classical Quarterly 64 (2):793-807 (2014)
Abstract
It is widely agreed that, in the re-emergence of Platonism as a dogmatic school of philosophy following the demise of the sceptical academy, Plato's works came to have an authoritative status. This paper argues for a particular understanding of what that authority consists in and how it was acquired.Author's Profile
