Malcolm, John PLATO ON THE SELF-PREDICATION OF FORMS Early and Middle Dialogues
Oxford Clarendon Press 1991 0198239068 / 9780198239062 First Edition Hardcover Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Minor discoloration to DJ spine. ; 0.75 x 9 x 5.75 Inches; 240 pages; Much of the recent literature published on Plato's metaphysics has involved the Third Man Argument found in his dialogue Parmenides. This argument depends upon construing Forms both as universals and as paradigm examples, and thus as being subject to self-predication. Professor Malcolm first presents a new and radical interpretation of Plato's earlier dialogues. He argues that the few cases of self-predication contained therein are acceptable simply as statements concerning universals (for example, `beauty is beautiful'), and that therefore Plato is not vulnerable in these cases to the Third Man Argument. In considering the middle dialogues, Professor Malcolm takes a conservative stance, rejecting influential current doctrines which portray the Forms as being not self-predicative. He shows that the middle dialogues do indeed take Forms to be both universals and paradigms, and thus to exemplify themselves. The author goes on to consider why Plato should have been unsuccessful in avoiding self-predication. He shows that Plato's concern to explain how the truths of mathematics can indeed be true played an important role in his postulation of the Form as an Ideal Individual. The author concludes with the claim that reflection on the ambiguity of such notions as the `Standard Yard' may help us to appreciate why Plato failed to distinguish Forms as universals from Forms as paradigm cases.

Russell, John Malcolm THE FINAL SACK OF NINEVEH The Discovery, Documentation, and Destruction of King Sennacherib`s Throne Room at Nineveh, Iraq
Yale University Press 1998 0300074182 / 9780300074185 Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Minor Shelfwear and edgewear to book. ; In the "Palace without Rival" at Nineveh, the Assyrian King Sennacherib immortalised his 701 B. C. Campaign against Jerusalem with a series of spectacular wall relief sculptures. Amazingly, when the palace was rediscovered twenty-five centuries later in 1847, the sculpture in the throne room areas remained largely intact. But today, air pollution, animal damage, vandalism, neglect, and - worst of all - looting for the international antiquities market by Iraq's own sanctions-striken people, have brought ruin to the palace. The splendour of Sennacherib's palace now survives only in this irreplaceable book. Art historian and archaeologist John Malcolm Russell, who in 1989 set about creating the only extensive photographic record of the palace architecture, sculptures, and inscriptions ever made, has preserved in pictures much that has since been lost. This book is not only a major contribution to the understanding of Assyrian palatial art and architecture, it is also the key to safeguarding the treasures of Sennacherib's palace and other ancient sites, for Russell proposes standards in archaeological excavation, documentation, and public policy that will help preserve cultural artifacts in an unstable world. ; 1.01 x 11.54 x 9.97 Inches; 248 pages
