Since 2014, Davenant Press has been publishing books to renew and build up the contemporary church. Our publications include modernizations and translations of historic texts, essay collections, and our Convivium proceedings, as well as original works.
In On Being, David Haines surveys the approaches of four philosophers to the Question of Being, along with some of their major interpreters: Plato, Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, and Martin Heidegger.
This first volume surveys Plato’s approach to the Question of Being. Readers will find an overview of the most relevant sections of Plato’s dialogues, followed by an analysis of three key contemporary interpreters of Plato: Stanley Rosen, Paul Ricoeur, and Giovanni Reale. Finally, David Haines presents his own close study and analysis of Plato’s approach in three key dialogues: the Parmenides, the Theaetetus, and the Sophist.
On Being is an ideal scholarly introduction to the Question of Being for students of philosophy looking to get to grips with the one question that all true philosophers seek to answer.
