Edward C. Halper R.E. Allen
Professor Allen graduated from Yale in 1958. Among his numerous papers is “Participation and Predication in Plato’s Middle Dialogues” (1960).





Studies in Plato’s Metaphysics II is a selection of readings which is meant as an introduction to the study of Plato.

An earlier version, Studies in Plato’s Metaphysics, dealt with essays ranging from 1936 to 1965. The aim here is broader: to go back to the nineteenth century and to move forward with some of the main contributions to the scholarly literature on Plato. The hope is to redirect the student’s interest in issues of Platonic metaphysics and epistemology.

This book is a (partial) reprint of the original published by Routledge & Kegan Paul in 1965, with a new Introduction by R. E. Allen and an updated selection of essays.
