| book description |

Forms and Concepts is the first comprehensive study of the central role of concepts and concept acquisition in the Platonic tradition. It sets up a stimulating dialogue between Platoâ€™s innatist approach and Aristotleâ€™s much more empirical response. The primary aim is to analyze and assess the strategies with which Platonists responded to Aristotleâ€™s (and Alexander of Aphrodisiasâ€™) rival theory. The monograph culminates in a careful reconstruction of the elaborate attempt undertaken by the Neoplatonist Proclus (6th century AD) to devise a systematic Platonic theory of concept acquisition.
