Publisher Synopsis
"Plato's Philosophers is brilliantly conceived, remarkably well executed, decidedly innovative, and enormously important. Illuminating a pattern of dramatic cohesiveness within Plato's body of work, Catherine Zuckert offers a compelling alternative to interpretations that trace a developmental logic across the dialogues. This book will spur us to rethink concepts and perspectives that have been taken for granted for too long. It is magisterial in the finest sense." - Gerald Mara, Georgetown University" Read more...
