Produktbeschreibung
In Platonic ontology, all beings, both the visible or physical and the invisible or metaphysical ones, are located somewhere. Why however does Plato attribute such importance to the concept of place, and in what specific way should we exactly consider this need in general of Plato to locate all beings without exception in a certain place? This is the main question which is elaborated in this book. Through the attempt to give an answer to it, that which is in essence being sought, is to make it evident that, for Plato, "Being" and "Place" are concepts inseparable from each other, and that the broad concept of place cannot be identified with physical, geometric space. As such, the study of this inseparable correlation between Being and Place in Plato' s thought, presented in this book, is of important research interest for academics, scholars and researchers in the field of Philosophy, and in particular of the Platonic philosophy. At the same time, it is, however, also particularlyuseful for students of Philosophy, as well as for anyone else interested in examining the concepts of "Being" and "Place" and in exploring the relationship between them.
