Download or read book Knowing Persons written by Lloyd P. Gerson and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowing Persons is an original study of Plato's account of personhood. For Plato, embodied persons are images of a disembodied ideal. The ideal person is a knower. Hence, the lives of embodied persons need to be understood according to Plato's metaphysics of imagery. For Gerson, Plato's account of embodied personhood is not accurately conflated with Cartesian dualism. Plato's dualism is more appropriately seen in the contrast between the ideal disembodied person and the embodied one than in the contrast between mind or soul and body.
