Plato´s individuals

Contradicting the long-held belief that Aristotle was the first to discuss individuation systematically, Mary M. McCabe argues that Plato was concerned with what makes something a something and that he solved the problem in a radically different way than did Aristotle. McCabe explores the centrality of individuation to Plato´s thinking, from the Parmenides to the Politicus, illuminating Plato´s later metaohysics in an exciting new way.
