Plato and the School of Marburg. Including the interpretations of Platonic philosophy in Nicolai Hartmann and José Ortega y Gasset
Abstract
The aim of this article is to present the reception of Platonic philosophy in the scientific idealism of the neo-Kantians of the Marburg school. There we find one of the most controversial interpretation of Plato. This philosopher is stripped of all metaphysics and interpreted in a logical and methodological spirit This is especially evident in the case of Plato's theory of ideas, which seeks to lose its metaphysical dimension and become instruments for seeking true and pure knowledge. In my reflections I do not limit myself solely to the presentation of the interpretation of Plato by the two founders of the Marburg school, that is, Cohen, but I also show how his 'Platonism' influences the philosophy of his disciples, including Nicolai Hartmann and José Ortega y Gasset.
