Allan Silverman argues that the best way to make sense of the metaphysics as a whole is to examine carefully what Plato says about ousia (essence) from the Meno through the middle period dialogues, the Phaedo and the Republic, and into several late dialogues including the Parmenides, the Sophist, the Philebus, and the Timaeus. This book focuses on three fundamental facets of the metaphysics: the theory of Forms; the nature of particulars; and Plato's understanding of the nature of metaphysical inquiry. Silverman seeks to show how Plato conceives of "Being" as a unique way in which an essence is related to a Form. Conversely, partaking ("having") is the way in which a material particular is related to its properties: Particulars, thus, in an important sense lack essence. Additionally, the author closely analyzes Plato's idea that the relation between Forms and particulars is mediated by form-copies. Even when some late dialogues provide a richer account of particulars, Silverman maintains that particulars are still denied essence. Indeed, with the Timaeus's introduction of the receptacle, there are no particulars of the traditional variety. This book cogently demonstrates that when we understand that Plato's concern with essence lies at the root of his metaphysics, we are better equipped to find our way through the labyrinth of his dialogues and to better appreciate how they form a coherent theory.MetaphysicsHistoryElectronic books.MetaphysicsHistory.110/.92Silverman Allan Jay1056353MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455216203321The dialectic of essence2490663UNINA05500nam 2200649 450 991081446350332120230803040024.092-4-069106-5(CKB)3710000000245158(EBL)1809077(SSID)ssj0001337969(PQKBManifestationID)11777752(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001337969(PQKBWorkID)11337821(PQKB)11568256(MiAaPQ)EBC1809077(Au-PeEL)EBL1809077(CaPaEBR)ebr10931304(OCoLC)892245761(EXLCZ)99371000000024515820140922h20132013 uy| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrWHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control guidelines for implementation article 5.3, article 8, articles 9 and 10, article 11, article 12, article 13, article 142013 edition.Geneva :World Health Organization,[2013]©20131 online resource (138 p.)Documents for SaleDescription based upon print version of record.92-4-150518-4 Cover; TABLE OF CONTENTS; GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLE 5.3 OF THE WHO FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON TOBACCO CONTROL: Protection of public health policies with respect to tobacco control from commercial and other vested interests of the tobacco industry; INTRODUCTION; Purpose, scope and applicability; GUIDING PRINCIPLES; RECOMMENDATIONS; ENFORCEMENT AND MONITORING; Enforcement; Monitoring implementation of Article 5.3 of the Convention and of these guidelines; INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION AND UPDATING AND REVISION OF THE GUIDELINES; Recommendations; USEFUL SOURCES OF INFORMATIONRelevant literatureGUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLE 8 OF THE WHO FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON TOBACCO CONTROL: Protection from exposure to tobacco smoke; PURPOSE, OBJECTIVES AND KEY CONSIDERATIONS; Purpose of the guidelines; Objectives of the guidelines; Underlying considerations; STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES AND RELEVANT DEFINITIONS UNDERLYING PROTECTION FROM EXPOSURE TO TOBACCO SMOKE; Principles; Definitions; "Second-hand tobacco smoke" or "environmental tobacco smoke"; "Smoking"; "Public places"; "Indoor" or "enclosed"; "Workplace"; THE SCOPE OF EFFECTIVE LEGISLATIONINFORM, CONSULT AND INVOLVE THE PUBLIC TO ENSURE SUPPORT AND SMOOTH IMPLEMENTATIONENFORCEMENT; Duty of compliance; Penalties; Enforcement infrastructure; Enforcement strategies; Mobilize and involve the community; MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF MEASURES; LINKS TO SAMPLE LEGISLATION AND RESOURCE DOCUMENTS; Resource documents; PARTIAL GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLES 9 AND 10 OF THE WHO FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON TOBACCO CONTROL: Regulation of the contents of tobacco products and of tobacco product disclosures; 1.
