{"product_id":"9781108833660","title":"Plato's Essentialism : Reinterpreting the Theory of Forms","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Vasilis Politis argues that Plato's Forms are essences, not merely things that have an essence. Politis shows that understanding Plato's theory of Forms as a theory of essence presents a serious challenge to contemporary philosophers who regard essentialism as little more than an optional item on the philosophical menu. This approach, he suggests, also constitutes a sharp critique of those who view Aristotelian essentialism as the only sensible position: Plato's essentialism, Politis demonstrates, is a well-argued, rigorous, and coherent theory, and a viable competitor to that of Aristotle. This book will appeal to students and scholars with an interest in the intersection between philosophy and the history of philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48727496655083,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":203.26,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781108833660-1.jpg?v=1781655991","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781108833660","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
