Summary
This collected volume is inspired by the work of Edward Halper and is historically focused with contributions from leading scholars in Ancient and Medieval philosophy. Though its chapters cover a diverse range of topics in epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy, the collection is unified by the contributors' consideration of these topics in terms of the fundamental questions of metaphysics. The first section of the volume, "Knowing and Being," is dedicated to the connection between metaphysics and epistemology and includes chapters on Heraclitus, Plato, Aristotle, and the Ancient Daoists. The second section, "Goodness as Knowing How to Be," addresses ethics as an outgrowth of human metaphysical concerns and includes chapters on Plato, Aristotle, and Maimonides. Contributors include William H. F. Altman, Luc Brisson, Ronna Burger, Miriam Byrd, Owen Goldin, Lenn Goodman, Mitchell Miller, Richard Parry, Richard Patterson, Nastassja Pugliese, John Rist, May Sim, Roslyn Weiss, and Chad Wiener. Daniel Bloom is Associate Professor of Philosophy at West Texas A&M University, USA, and the author of The Unity of Oneness and Plurality in Plato's Theaetetus. Laurence Bloom is Senior Lecturer of Philosophy at Rhodes University, South Africa, and the author of The Principle of Non-contradiction in Plato's Republic. Miriam Byrd is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas at Arlington, USA. Her work has appeared in Apeiron, Ancient Philosophy, and Journal of the History of Philosophy.
