Descrizione Commenti dei lettori

Thanks to this contribution we will provide an account of Neoplatonic epistemology. We will take the case of Hermias’ Commentary on Plato’ Phaedrus (V A.D.) to demonstrate how Neoplatonists could conceive of a coherent gnoseological system by integrating into Plato’s διδασκαλία Stoic stance on articulation (διάρθρωσις) and Aristotelian doctrine of universals. We will notably show how a Neoplatonist could take Plato’s words as hints to these non-Platonic theories so as to lay claim to them. It was not necessary for Plato to plainly explain the articulation process or the role played in it by post res universals. He just hinted at them with fugacious words, whilst his exegete brought their deep meaning to the surface. This way, Neoplatonists managed to forge an organic epistemological system comprehensive of innate and latent knowledge, maieutic, articulation, and induction.
