- W2466539235 abstract "This excellent book focuses on Plato's claims in both his middle and late dialogues that apparently real worldly objects are but the perceptible images (eikones, eidola, mimemata, phantasmata) of Forms which serve as their truly real intelligible models (paradeigmata). Patterson invites us to gnaw at the marrow bone of this image-model analogy, seeking out the precious matter hiding in its metaphorical recesses. The result is a sumptuous meal of many courses, rich in interpretive insight. After a programmatic introduction, Patterson begins his study in the second chapter by carefully distinguishing various kinds of Greek paradeigmata, drawing special attention to one sort of image-paradeigma relation in which the image is neither a duplicate, nor a copy, nor a standard instance. This relation will be one where it is essential to something's being an image F that it not be another real F; e.g., the reflection of Socrates ('a Socrates') is not another real Socrates. In this sort of relation, an image F and its model F-itself are two different types of F such that they do not share the property of being F: an image F is not even a qualified or more-or-less-imperfect real F. According to Patterson, the justification for the diverse sensible Fs being 'named after' the F-itself is then simply that the many Fs are images of the F-itself and not of some other thing (e.g., the G-itself). The third chapter proceeds to argue (relying on Cratylus 432 and Sophist 240a-b) that this last understanding of paradeigmata - contrary to the prevalent paradigm-case reading of Forms as perfect exemplars popularized by G.E.L. Owen - is Plato's own. With further elaboration and clarification, this interpretation of the image analogy becomes the primary exegetical tool for the many ambitious projects which follow. Chapter Three then concludes with the first application of this tool to the construction of a Plato-saving interpretation of the Parmenides' second regress argument (132d-133a). According to Patterson, once we uncover the metaphysical commitments intended by Plato's image-model analogy, we then see that the argument" @default.
