This dissertation examines the nature of learning as recollection across Plato's dialogues. The investigation treats five architectonic questions commonly debated among Plato scholars: 1) 'Who recollects?'; 2) 'How do we experience recollection?'; 3) 'What are the objects of recollection?'; 4) 'How does recollection enable genuine philosophical inquiry?'; and, finally, 5) 'How is recollection a way of becoming virtuous?' I adopt a holistic approach looking at the epistemological, ontological, and ethical aspects of recollection, while treating these registers in relation to the dramatic context of each dialogue.The dissertation is divided into three commentary chapters. In the chapter dedicated to the Meno, the account of recollection articulates the conditions for learning as recollection: ontologically, the soul must be immortal and immaterial if she is to grasp the immaterial realities recollection seeks to understand; epistemologically, recollection proceeds by degrees from the excising of false opinions to the discovery and solidification of truth in the soul; and, finally, if it is possible that virtue is cultivated in the soul by true opinion and knowledge, then it is possible for the stages of recollection to inspire the cultivation of virtue. The Phaedo's recollection account explicitly traces the connection between recollection and the cultivation of virtue. The dialogue defends recollection's aim as the recovery of the soul's interior phroneÌ4sis ordered towards knowing the causal sources of being and goodness, the eternal Forms, which in turn guide and inspire the soul's virtuous disposition and choices. Finally, the Phaedrus's recollection account treats what ultimately motivates the soul to recover her own forgotten wisdom, namely, desire for the Forms alongside philosophical self-persuasion in speech. This rightly-ordered desire motivates the cultivation of virtuous habits in relation to others as well as in the individual; for, each lesser love becomes incorporated into and perfected by the budding philosopher's highest love of the Forms.The dissertation concludes that all three recollection accounts are complementary, even though they emphasize distinct aspects of recollection and take up questions left unanswered by prior accounts. Recollection is discovered to be that activity by which the immortal, immaterial soul recovers her understanding of the causes and structures of being through an intentional, self-aware inquiry. This wisdom is revealed as both contemplative and practical, for Socrates cannot conceive of the highest form of wisdom that does not wholly alter the person for the better. Thus, the recollective recovery of wisdom in the soul harmonizes the individual's intellect, thoughts, and arguments, disposition, choices, and actions to conform to the truth about being and goodness. Recollection in all three dialogues therefore aims at cultivating authentic virtue in the soul.

Plato (c.428-347 BCE) stands at the beginning of many debates that have continued throughout the history of philosophy. His literary career spanned fifty years and the influence of his ideas and those of his followers pervaded philosophy throughout antiquity. Andrew Mason's lucid and engaging introduction, draws on recent scholarship to offer a fresh general survey of Plato's philosophy. Aware of the methodological challenges that confront any writer on Plato, Mason handles the issue of Plato's intellectual development and relationship with Socrates with an assured grasp. Thematically structured, the book begins with Plato's principal contribution to metaphysics, the 'Theory of Forms', which forms a necessary background to his thought in many areas. His theory of knowledge, which is intimately linked with the Forms is explored in detail along with Plato's views of the soul, an important theme in itself and an entry point to discussion of his ethics, one of Plato's major concerns. Finally, the book deals with two areas of Plato's thought which have had an especially important historical impact, not confined to academic philosophy: his theory of God and nature, and his aesthetics. Throughout, Mason highlights the continuing themes in Plato's work and how they develop from one dialogue to another.

I explore the relationship between eroÌ4s, recollection, and virtue in Socrates's palinode in Plato's Phaedrus, a relationship which few scholars have addressed. I develop Laura Candiotto's thesis regarding the epistemic relationship between eroÌ4s and recollection by exploring its implication for a soul's growth in virtue. I also argue that Irwin's and Gonzalez's account of the ethical implications of eroÌ4s and recollection neglects the perilous interplay between partial recollection and eroÌ4s, whereby the very relationship that drives the soul's growth in virtue can also lead the soul to vice. I conclude that, for Socrates, moral development is not a process than one can perfectly control. EroÌ4s is a powerful drive that is a necessary part of moral growth, and recollection both sparks eroÌ4s and gives the soul the resources to discipline eroÌ4s. But since most people recollect partially, moral growth is fraught with peril: stoking eroÌ4s in a soul risks spurring a soul to betray its countrymen for the sake of ambition, like Alcibiades, but refusing to draw a soul through eroÌ4s risks abandoning a soul to unphilosophical complacency, like Isocrates. But even with these perils, the erotic path is one with glimmers of hope because of the universal recollective capacity of the soul, whereby all souls are directed to the Forms, even if they do not clearly recognize the Forms as the true objects of their desires.

In Coming To, Timothy M. Harrison uncovers the forgotten role of poetry in the history of the idea of consciousness. Drawing our attention to a sea change in the English seventeenth century, when, over the course of a half century, “conscience” made a sudden shift to “consciousness,” he traces a line that leads from the philosophy of René Descartes to the poetry of John Milton, from the prenatal memories of theologian Thomas Traherne to the unresolved perspective on natality, consciousness, and ethics in the philosophy of John Locke. Each of these figures responded to the first-person perspective by turning to the origins of how human thought began. Taken together, as Harrison shows, this unlikely group of thinkers sheds new light on the emergence of the concept of consciousness and the significance of human natality to central questions in the fields of literature, philosophy, and the history of science.
