Description
This book helps understand Plato’s writings by describing the circumstances in which they were produced.
The author begins with an account of Plato’s life and development and a brief analysis of some of the more difficult points arising from the criticism of Plato’s writings.
The remainder of the work considers the total setting – political, literary and philosophical – in which Plato’s writings were produced.
There are extensive appendices on the Platonic Epistles, Aristotle and the Theory of Ideas, and on the post-Aristotelian tradition.
The result is both a lucid account of Plato himself and a comprehensive view of culture in fifth century Greece.
