This book investigates the thought of two of the most influential philosophers of antiquity, Plato and his predecessor Anaxagoras, with respect to their metaphysical accounts of objects and their properties. The book introduces a fresh perspective on these two thinkers' ideas, displaying the
debt of Plato's theory on Anaxagoras's, and principally arguing that their core metaphysical concept is overlap; overlap between properties and things in the world. Initially Plato endorses Anaxagoras's model of constitutional overlap, and subsequently develops qualitative overlap. Overlap is the
crux to our understanding of objects participating in Forms in Plato's metaphysics; of Plato's account of relata without relations; of the role of Forms as causes; of the metaphysics of necessity; and of the role of the Great Kinds and of the paradeigma in the development of Plato's thought.

Anna Marmodoro argues that Plato is ground-breaking in the history of metaphysics, in different ways from those acknowledged so far, and with respect to more metaphysical questions than had been hitherto appreciated; e.g. Plato's treatment of structure as property; of complexity; and his
introduction of the first ever account of metaphysical emergence.

In addition to these results, Marmodoro makes Anaxagoras's and Plato's systems philosophically accessible to us, today's philosophers, by applying conceptual tools from analytic metaphysics to the study of ancient metaphysics. In this way, the book brings Anaxagoras's and Plato's ideas to bear on
todays' philosophical discussions and opens up new venues of research for current philosophical discussions.

Recenzijos

Anna Marmodoro's Forms and Structure in Plato's Metaphysics is a historical analysis of Ancient Greek philosophy and its influence on contemporary metaphysics. While the book is essentially historical, it delves into complicated metaphysical topics, making it of interest to readers in both the history of philosophy and metaphysics fields. * Cody Spjut, Department of Philosophy, California State University, Long Beach, CA, USA, History of Philosophy & Logical Analysis (HPLA) * These are classic questions for anyone interested in Platonic ontology and metaphysics but Anna Marmodoro's Forms and Structure in Plato's Metaphysics has the merit of raising them afresh with particular clarity and acuteness, bringing new answers to old questions. * Dimitri El Murr, Mind *
