"This compendium of 29 essays by leading scholars, on every aspect
of Plato from his biography and literary style to his metaphysics
and politics to his reception by later philosophical and religious
traditions, is a welcome addition to the resources available to
students of Plato. A number of essays distill cutting-edge research
developed in greater detail in the authors’ monographs. The
result is a book every student of Plato will want to
consult."

"This is a valuable collection of essays from a distinguished
cast of contributors. It should prove useful to a wide variety of
readers."
Chris Bobonich, Stanford University
"This hefty volume differs from many anthologies on Plato in its
comprehensiveness...The essays represent recent scholarship on
Plato, with bibliographical references at the end of each essay to
literature almost exclusively within the last 50 years...To a lover
of Plato, another volume of essays on his thought is always
welcome."

"A work avowedly for the philosopher and the student
philosopher, but accessible too by other students, this will be a
welcome addition in a wide range of libraries from undergraduate
level upwards."
