Yet it is surprising for some to find an earlier, traditional meaning referring to travel to festivals and shrines. In an attempt to dissolve the problem of equivocal reference, Julie Ward's book seeks to illuminate the nature of traditional theoria as ancient festival-attendance as well as the philosophical account developed in Plato and Aristotle. First, she examines the traditional use referring to periodic festivals, including their complex social and political arrangements, then she considers the subsequent use by Plato and Aristotle. Broadly speaking, she discerns a common thread running throughout both uses: namely, the notion of having a visual experience of the sacred or divine. Thus her book aims to illuminate the nature of philosophical theoria described by Plato and Aristotle in light of traditional, festival theoria" -- $c Back cover 600 00 $a Plato $x Criticism, Textual. 600 00 $a Aristotle $x Criticism, Textual. 600 07 $a Aristotle. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029885 600 07 $a Plato. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00046610 650 0 $a Theoria (The Greek word) 650 0 $a Philosophy, Ancient. 650 0 $a Pilgrims and pilgrimages in literature. 650 0 $a Festivals in literature. 650 0 $a Classical literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Object (Philosophy) 650 0 $a Knowledge, Theory of. 650 0 $a Metaphysics. 650 2 $a Metaphysics 650 6 $a Theoria (Le mot grec) 650 6 $a Philosophie ancienne. 650 6 $a Litterature ancienne $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Objet (Philosophie) 650 6 $a Theorie de la connaissance. 650 6 $a Metaphysique. 650 7 $a epistemology. $2 aat 650 7 $a metaphysics. $2 aat 650 7 $a PHILOSOPHY / History & Surveys / Ancient & Classical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Classical literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00863509 650 7 $a Festivals in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00923351 650 7 $a Knowledge, Theory of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00988194 650 7 $a Metaphysics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01018304 650 7 $a Object (Philosophy) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01042786 650 7 $a Philosophy, Ancient. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060860 650 7 $a Pilgrims and pilgrimages in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01064076 650 7 $a Theoria (The Greek word) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01738195 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ward, Julie K., 1952- $t Searching for the divine in Plato and Aristotle $d Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781009023580 $w (DLC) 2021024937 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025633.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE96F57EEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
