18Calling Philosophers Names: On the Origin of a Discipline by Christopher MooreJournal of the History of Philosophy 59 (2): 327-328. 2021.What does a philosophos do and what is a philosophos anyway? Christopher Moore explores these questions in his intriguing book, examining the history of the word philosophos and considering the development of the discipline that came to be known as philosophia. Moore's account "begins around 500 BCE with the coinage not of a self-lauding 'love of wisdom' but with a wry verbal slight, and concludes a century and a half later, in the maturity of an institution that is continuous with today's depar…Read more

14Two Studies in the Early Academy (review)Review of Metaphysics 46 (3): 605-607. 1993.Here is a welcome reminder that not all members of the Academy were Platonists; that the Academy must have been a lively place, full of discussion and disagreement; and that Platonism itself is not monolithic. The focus is, as the title promises, doctrines maintained by two associates of the early Academy: the immanentism of Eudoxus and Speusippus's view that although The One is the first principle, it is not an existent.

7Plato's Parmenides (review)Review of Metaphysics 45 (3): 627-627. 1992.This fine book argues for a novel and intriguing interpretation of Plato's Parmenides. The book is not a commentary on the dialogue as a whole; but while concentrating on the problems of the second part, it nevertheless gives a persuasive account of the relation between the two parts of the dialogue. According to Meinwald, in Part II Plato, by distinguishing between two kinds of predication, is able both to avoid or solve the problems of Part I and to develop an important philosophical tool for …Read more

1Forms and Participation in Plato's "Parmenides": The First and Second HypothesesDissertation, University of Pittsburgh. 1982.The Parmenides has long been thought of as one of Plato's more mysterious dialogues. The first part is an attack on the Theory of Forms while the second is an apparently bewildering discussion of the One and the Others. It is the contention of this project that in the Parmenides Plato points out and begins to solve a serious difficulty generated by assumptions about being and the Forms made in the middle period theory. ;The dissertation has three major divisions. In the first, several aspects of…Read more
