The following sources are most frequently used for reconstructing Plato's unwritten doctrines: Aristotle's Metaphysics (books Α, Μ and N) and Physics (book Δ) Fragments of Aristotle's lost treatises 'On the Good' and 'On Philosophy' The Metaphysics of Theophrastus, a student of Aristotle Two fragments of the lost treatise On Plato by Plato's student Hermodorus of SyracuseText and German translation in Heinrich Dörrie, Matthias Baltes: Der Platonismus in der Antike, Band 1, Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt 1987, pp. 82–86, commentary pp. 296–302. A fragment from a lost work of Plato's student SpeusippusText and German translation in Heinrich Dörrie, Matthias Baltes: Der Platonismus in der Antike, Band 1, Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt 1987, pp. 86–89, commentary pp. 303–305. The treatise Against Mathematicians of Sextus Empiricus(10 books). Sextus does not there explicitly ascribe the doctrines to Plato but describes them as Pythagorean. Modern scholars have assembled evidence , however, that Plato was in fact their author.See Heinz Happ: Hyle, Berlin 1971, pp. 140–142; Marie-Dominique Richard: L’enseignement oral de Platon, 2. Plato's Republic and Parmenides. The principles ascribed to Plato in the indirect tradition make many of the statements and trains of thought in these two dialogues appear in a different light. Interpreted accordingly, they contribute to sharpening the contours of our image of the unwritten doctrines. The debates in other dialogues, for example, the Timaeus and the Philebus, can then be understood in new ways and incorporated into the Tübingen reconstruction. Allusions to the unwritten doctrines can even be found, it is argued, in Plato's early dialogues.Jens Halfwassen: Der Aufstieg zum Einen.
