VOGEL, C.J. de, Philosophia. Part I. Studies in Greek Philosophy. [All published]. VanGorcum / Prakke & Prakke, Assen, 1970. 451p. Cloth. Gilt stamped. Nice copy. ‘This is the first half of a full-scale study of the entire tradition of classical philosophy from Pythagoras and Pythagoreanism to later Patristic and Medieval philosophy. It contains eighteen papers and review-critiques, some new, some previously published, but here revised. The majority of the papers argue for the unity of Greek philosophical thought or tradition. Miss de Vogel again argues for her controversial belief that Plato identifies his Forms with ‘nous’, teaches a doctrine of hierarchy of being closely resembling the theory of Plotinus, and a hierarchy of Forms corresponding to ideal numbers. (…) The immense value of these papers is that, taken as a whole, they present a rather complete summary of virtually the entire course of scholarship dealing with many basic unresolved issues in Plato and Aristotle. (…) As an introduction to classical philosophical scholarship these papers are unparalleled. (…) The book is beautifully produced, and includes an Index to Greek Words.’ (RONALD HATHAWAY). € 25.00 (Antiquarian)
