AUTHORITY AND AUTHORITATIVE TEXTS
IN THE PLATONIST TRADITION
All disciplines can count on a noble founder, and the representation
of this founder as an authority is key in order to construe a disci-
pline’s identity. This book sheds light on how Plato and other
authorities were represented in one of the most long-lasting traditions
of all time. It leads the reader through exegesis and polemics, recovery
of the past and construction of a philosophical identity. From
Xenocrates to Proclus, from the sceptical shift to the re-establishment
of dogmatism, from the Mosaic of the Philosophers to the
Neoplatonist Commentaries, the construction of authority emerges
as a way of access to the core of the Platonist tradition.
