Su questo libro

Recensione:

A succinct precis of the work of one of the world's greatest thinkers ... For the newcomer or undergraduate it's a great resource, being both a celebration of and an introduction to some of the most remarkable, beautiful, provocative, powerful and vital writings in Western literature. --The Good Web Guide

This book provides a tremendously useful service to anyone studying Plato, or to the more general reader who might otherwise struggle to make headway unaided ... [It is] an essential addition to the library of any serious student of Plato's philosophy - which, given his undiminished importance, should be every philosopher! --PhilosophyOnline

An invaluable, indispensible guide that avoids the usual one-sided approach to Plato ... even the ordering of the dialogues makes sense. I shall certainly be recommending it to my students. --Dr Alan Cardew, University of Essex
