Severe Limitation of Scope

Anamnesis (ἀνάμνησις)[1] has far wider currency in Philosophy than only its appearance in the Corpus Platonicum [2] - occurring in the work (and/or commentary upon) Emmanuel Levinas, Bordieu, Feminism, and the Philosophy of History. Therefore, this article requires significant elaboration to prevent distortion caused by the current (unintended) bias towards the works attributed to Plato. May I suggest starting with these results of a Google Scholar search? 2.101.18.188 (talk) 11:12, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Midrash Source

@Carchasm: can you take a look at this source and let me know if it is satisfactory? It mentions Plato and draws the connection to the Midrash. A. Rosenberg (talk) 21:27, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's certainly a satisfactory source, but it looks like it might contradict what you wanted to add to the article? In one of the comments to the article the author clarifies that:

...Plato's dialogues which do indeed put a theory of knowledge as recollection into the mouth of Socrates,. I was talking about the rabbinic texts which do not (quite) explicitly endorse a theory of recollection.

Which makes it seem like this is *not* an example of Plato's theory of recollection and therefore not really on topic for this article, which is essentially one of many pages on the philosophy of Plato specifically. If there's a source directly arguing that the midrash was influenced by Plato (perhaps through Philo) I think that it could belong here, but one recent scholar drawing a bit of a comparison between the two seems a bit WP:UNDUE as it hardly seems significant, especially considering how short this article is right now. - car chasm (talk) 07:11, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
