A Platonic Philosophy of Religion: A Process PerspectiveSUNY Press, 1. jan. 2005 - 160 strani A Platonic Philosophy of Religion challenges traditional views of Plato s religious thought, arguing that these overstate the case for the veneration of Being as opposed to Becoming. Daniel A. Dombrowski explores how process or neoclassical perspectives on Plato s view of God have been mostly neglected, impoverishing both our view of Plato and our view of what can be said in contemporary philosophy of religion on a Platonic basis. Looking at the largely ignored later dialogues, Dombrowski finds a dynamic theism in Plato and presents a new and very different Platonic philosophy of religion. The work s interpretive framework derives from the application of process philosophy and discusses the continuation of Plato s thought in the works of Hartshorne and Whitehead. |
