The Art of Assemblage: Studies on Plato and Aristotle

The Art of Assemblage: Studies on Plato and Aristotle is a collection of twelve essays—six on Plato and six on Aristotle—written by an international group of eminent scholars. In recognition of the work of author, translator, and distinguished professor of philosophy C. D. C. Reeve, the essays address a wide range of topics—ethics and politics, poetics and rhetoric, and metaphysics—reflecting the breadth of Reeve's own scholarship. They exemplify how the "art of assemblage"—that is, the art of interpreting ancient Greek texts—can address some of the most intriguing questions posed by Plato and Aristotle. Together, they reveal continuities between Platonic and Aristotelian thought.
