Plato’s Progress by Gilbert Ryle (PDF)

Description

This is, as from the author of The Concept of Mind it could scarcely fail to be, a bold and rollicking book. It is also one of the most important works about Plato to have appeared since the first volume of Sir Karl Popper’s The Open Society. Whereas The Concept of Mind was a general offensive against Cartesian views of man, eschewing any precise references to particular sources, Plato’s Progress deals with scholarly questions of datings and developments, showing and demanding familiarity with a wide literature. Yet Professor Ryle is still incapable as ever of the dry-as-dust.

⭐If there’s is such a thing as a page-turner about an Ancient Greek philosopher, this is it. Gilbert Ryle was brilliant intellectually, he was an active participant in the philosophical debates of mid-20th century Oxford, he was a masterful prose stylist, and — on top of all that — a classicist of immense knowledge about the Greece of Plato’s day. This delightful book is most notable for its speculative (but carefully supported) assertions about Plato’s life and work . (No, I’m not telling — read the book!) I don’t buy them all (and maybe none of them), but Ryle’s ability to marshall support for his views makes the book interesting, and the eccentric nature of these views makes the book fun. This is a great bedtime choice for anyone interested in a short book on Plato that will keep the reading light on!
