Description
Reading Plato offers a concise and illuminating insight into the complexities and difficulties of the Platonic dialogues. This book provides an invaluable text for any student of Plato's philosophy, offering solutions to the problems of interpreting the dialogues.
In this ground-breaking work, Thomas A. Szlezak persuasively argues that the dialogues are designed to stimulate philosophical enquiry and to elevate philosophy to the realm of oral dialectic. By examining the critique of writing in the Phaedrus, Szlezak sheds new light on the purpose and structure of the Platonic dialogues.
With its clear and persuasive argument, Reading Plato is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of Plato's philosophy.
