Study of Universality of Classics through the History of Reception and Revision of Platonism

正是因为经典具有普遍性，柏拉图才在遥远的时间里激发了各种各样的思想家、艺术家等。但另一方面，他的继任者在接受他的思想的同时，也进行了各种修改。柏拉图作为经典的普遍性将变得更容易理解，如果我们对照后继者的特殊性来考察它，我们就是本着这种期望来关注每个领域的研究的。我们在柏拉图哲学的建立、通过与亚里士多德和斯多葛学派的合作对普罗蒂诺哲学的影响、后期新柏拉图主义的发展、伊斯兰教思想和西方中世纪思想中的柏拉图传统、柏拉图主义对文艺复兴和现代哲学的影响等方面都取得了一定的成果。我们还注意到新柏拉图主义与当代思想之间的亲和力。至于柏拉图作为经典的普遍性，我们在研究对象中发现了一些共同的人物，但这并不是我们旨在达到的结果。相反，我们通过研究柏拉图主义的接受史和修正史，认识到了柏拉图哲学的丰富性。多种因素使柏拉图的作品影响了不同的思想家。澄清经典的普遍性还需要另一次更广泛的研究，这是我们希望进行的。

It is because the classics have universality, that Plato has stimulated a variety of thinkers, artists etc. beyond great distance of time. But, on the other hand, his successors made various revisions while accepting his ideas. The universality of Plato as a classic would be made more comprehensible, if we look into it against the particularities of the successors It is with this expectation that we attended to the study of each area. We had a certain amount of result about eg the establishment of Platonic philosophy, its influence to Plotinus' philosophy through cooperation with Aristotelian and Stoic ideas, development of later Neoplatonism, Platonistic traditions in Islam thought and Western medieval thought, influences of Platonism to Renaissance and modern philosophy. We also paid some regard to an affinity between Neoplatonism and contemporary thought. As for the universality of Plato as a classic, we detected number of common characters in the objects of study, but that is not the result we aimed at. Instead, we realized the fertility of Platonic philosophy through the study of history of reception and revision of Platonism. Multifarious factors the works of Plato had enabled them influence various thinkers. Clarification of the universality of classics need another more extended study, which we hope to pursue.
