Summary |
This category will index works discussing the peculiar principle known as "the idea/form of the good" (he tou agathou idea) or "the good itself," in Plato, which cuts across distinctions of ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, and logic. It will not index works on, e.g., ethics in general, justice, the good life, or the best regime in Plato, as intimately connected to the question of the capital-G Good as these admittedly are, unless they significantly discuss this principle. These works can be found in the branch categories Plato: Ethics and Plato: Political Philosophy, which would otherwise be entirely reproduced here. Discussions considering the One as the Good will be indexed here, but see also Plato: Parmenides, and Plato: One and Many. |
