Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of Modern Philosophy, Vol. 1: From the Renaissance to the Present
Bessarion. Bessarion was a more temperate admirer of Plato, though he too combated (discreetly) the doctrines of Aristotle, as maintained by George of Trebizond. He considered Plato more in accord than Aristotle with Chris tian dogma. He rejected the Platonic doctrines of the pre-existence of the soul, the plurality of gods, and the world-soul. The chief work of Bessarion is entitled In Calumniatorem Platonis.
