{"product_id":"thezcria-as-cognition-in-plato-9789004747111","title":"Theôria as Cognition in Plato","description":"How Plato appropriated the pilgrim's \u003ci\u003etheôria\u003c\/i\u003e into his own philosophy has been the subject of many noble and insightful studies. When Plato took up this concept, he launched an understanding that would have a very long life in classical philosophy: the idea that doing philosophy itself has an essentially contemplative character was now explicitly formulated. But this only leads us to the next question: according to Plato, what is the nature of this contemplation as a form of cognition? How does philosophy, understood as \u003ci\u003etheôria\u003c\/i\u003e and as a cognitive activity, relate to other forms of cognition--perception, memory, recollection, imagination, and emotion? The essays collected in this book explore the nature of \u003ci\u003etheôria\u003c\/i\u003e as cognition, while also taking into account the metaphors, dramatic settings, and cultural background that frame Plato's dialogues, showing it to be not only a \"way of life\" but also a form of knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Refik Güremen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill's Plato Studies #22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.10w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004747111","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46858632593545,"sku":"9789004747111","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_77edb923-886d-4be7-88e5-05e179fcd077.jpg?v=1780983290","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/thezcria-as-cognition-in-plato-9789004747111","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
