Did Aristotle 'Develop'? Reflections On Werner Jaeger's Thesis, David R. Lachterman
Did Aristotle 'Develop'? Reflections On Werner Jaeger's Thesis, David R. Lachterman
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Jaeger was combating the previous monolithic interpretation of Aristotle with an organic model of psychological growth. Disproving details in Jaeger's account do not ultimately demonstrate that Aristotle did not develop in some way, or present his ideas in different ways in different places. (Preus)

Plato’s Theory of Participation: Platonic Forms and the Making of Sense Objects
It is correct to say, with certain Friends of the Forms, that Plato’s separate Forms (i.e., non-spatial Forms existing independently of their worldly participants) are not perfect or unqualified instances of themselves, as asserted by prominent Foes of the Forms; rather, they are abstract intelligible entities that do not, with a few exceptions, exemplify themselves.

It is intended to be a descriptive as well as an analytical report.
