Perl. 330 $aIn Thinking Being , Eric Perl articulates central ideas and arguments regarding the nature of reality in Parmenides, Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, and Aquinas. He shows that, throughout this tradition, these ideas proceed from and return to the indissoluble togetherness of thought and being, first clearly expressed by Parmenides. The emphasis throughout is on continuity rather than opposition: Aristotle appears as a follower of Plato in identifying being as intelligible form, and Aquinas as a follower of Plotinus in locating the first principle ?beyond being?. Hence Neoplatonism, itself a coherent development of Platonic thought, comes to be seen as the mainstream of classical philosophy. Perl?s book thus contributes to a revisionist understanding of the fundamental outlines of the western tradition in metaphysics. 410 0$aAncient Mediterranean and medieval texts and contexts ;$vv. 17. 606 $aMetaphysics$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 606 $aPhilosophy, Medieval 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMetaphysics$xHistory 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Medieval. 676 $a110.9 700 $aPerl$b Eric David$0994446 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464688103321 996 $aThinking being$92277362 997 $aUNINA
