Book Synopsis A Plato Reader by : Plato
Download or read book A Plato Reader written by Plato. This book was released on 2012-09-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Plato Reader offers eight of Plato's best-known works--Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Phaedo, Symposium, Phaedrus, and Republic--unabridged, expertly introduced and annotated, and in widely admired translations by C. D. C. Reeve, G. M. A. Grube, Alexander Nehamas, and Paul Woodruff. The collection features Socrates as its central character and a model of the examined life. Its range allows us to see him in action in very different settings and philosophical modes: from the elenctic Socrates of the Meno and the dialogues concerning his trial and death, to the erotic Socrates of the Symposium and Phaedrus, to the dialectician of the Republic. Of Reeve's translation of this final masterpiece, Lloyd P. Gerson writes, "Taking full advantage of S. R. Slings' new Greek text of the Republic, Reeve has given us a translation both accurate and limpid. Loving attention to detail and deep familiarity with Plato's thought are evident on every page. Reeve's brilliant decision to cast the dialogue into direct speech produces a compelling impression of immediacy unmatched by other English translations currently available."

Book Synopsis The Works of Plato: Complete and Unabridged in One Volume by : Jake Stief
Download or read book The Works of Plato: Complete and Unabridged in One Volume written by Jake Stief. This book was released on 2018-06-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of the writings of Plato and his Socratic dialogues is essential for any aspiring philosopher. Fortunately, this Stief Books publication contains every work that has been attributed to Plato, both canonical and of dubious authenticity. A majority of the dialogues are translated by classic, albeit dated, translators; Benjamin Jowett and George Burges. Two works, Halcyon and Epigrams are new and original translations by Jake E. Stief. The font is a tad smaller than most publications so that you may have the complete canon of Plato for a cheap price, but it is still legible, and the text is displayed on large pages in a two column format which makes reading easy. There is also supple margin space for note taking. This edition includes a simplified version of the Stephanus Pagination for easy reference (numbers, but no letters). Works included in this book: Euthyphro - Apology - Crito - Phaedo - Gorgias - Protagoras - Charmides - Laches - Lysis - Ion - Hippias Lesser - Hippias Greater - Cratylus - Euthydemus - Meno - Parmenides - Phaedrus - Symposium - Republic - Theatetus - Sophist - Statesman - TImaeus - Critias - Philebus - Laws - Letters - First Alcibiades - Second Alcibiades - Menexenus - Eryxias - Theages - Axiochus - Clitophon - Hipparchus - Rival Lovers - Minos - Epinomis - Definitions - On Justice - On Virtue - Sisyphus - Demodocus - Halcyon - Epigrams
