Title: The emergent metaphysics in Plato's theory of disorder
Description: "The Emergent Metaphysics in Plato's Theory of Disorder presents for the first time Plato's theory of disorder as it pertains to his understanding of powerful causal forces at work within and outside of the cosmos and the soul of man. Divided into two parts and presenting passages in both Greek and English, S.R. Charles's work discusses Plato's cosmology, the Timaeus, and his chief theological work, Laws X, in detail. What ultimately arises from the juxtaposition of these two dialogues is a dynamic theory of disorder in which as epistemology is outlined, an ontology is given, and a metaphysics of disorder emerges."--Jacket.
