ONTOLOGICAL ASPECT OF PLATO'S PHILOSOPHY AND THE IDEA OF THE GOOD

Abstract

The article studies the features of ontologi-cal aspect Plato's philosophy and the idea of the Good. Plato's reference to the ideal Good became logical continuation of his spiritual and philosophical searches. Plato's humanistic character reveals itself in recognition of absolute values standing above egoistical interests of individual and group. The author describes the na-ture of Good and philosophy of Plato and considers the genesis of the principle of Good as methodological base of Plato's philosophy possessing something more than ontological aspect. The need of radical rethinking of the values of modern civilization is particularly stressed.
