Riassunto

A landmark one-volume edition of the complete Plato in classic modern translations

All the writings of Plato generally considered to be authentic are here presented in the only complete one-volume Plato available in English. The editors set out to choose the contents of this collected edition from the work of the best modern British and American translators. The volume contains prefatory notes to each dialogue, by Edith Hamilton; an introductory essay on Plato's philosophy and writings, by Huntington Cairns; and a comprehensive index with cross references to assist the reader with the philosophical vocabulary of the different translators.

Informazioni sull?autore

Edith Hamilton (1867–1963) was perhaps the most famous and influential classicist of the twentieth century. Her bestselling Mythology remains a standard version of the stories of the ancient world. Huntington Cairns (1904–1985) was a writer and lawyer who worked at different times for the U.S. Treasury, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and Johns Hopkins University.
