Riassunto

Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy is an annual publication which includes original articles on a wide range of topics in ancient philosophy, and review articles of major books. In this supplementary volume, a number of renowned scholars of Plato reflect upon their interpretative methods. Topics covered include the use of ancient authorities in interpreting Plato's dialogues, Plato's literary and rhetorical style, his arguments and characters, and his use of the dialogue form. The collection is not intended as a comprehensive survey of methodological approaches; rather it offers a number of different perspectives and clearly articulated interpretations by leading scholars in the field.

Recensione:

`Apparently, Smith believes that the approach to Plato based on the questions and methods of 20th century analytic philosophy is not an "ism", or even a definite mode of philosophizing that must stand open to critique, but simply the latest chapter in the age-old progressive narrative of the philosophical sciences. Happily, the exhilarating papers in this volume will, if read, make this conversation-stopping illusion more difficult to sustain.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review

'This first rate collection of ten essays ... shows that something not only new, but interesting, and worthwhile as well can be said. All the essays are carefully written and edited. They marshall their evidence and arguments persuasively. This volume is for the Plato specialist, but will also be of interest to philosophers and historians concerned with hermeneutical issues in general.'Gary E. Kessler, California State University, Religious Studies Review, Volume 20, Number 1, January 1994

'This first rate collection of ten essays, growing out of a conference on methods for interpreting Plato, shows that something not only new, but interesting, and worthwhile as well can be said.

Kessler, California State University, Religious Studies Review, Volume 20, Number 1/January 1994

'All the contributions in the present volume are of a high level, and of considerable interest and importance from this point of view.'G.B. Kerferd, University of Manchester, The Classical Review, Vol. XLIII, No. 2, 1993
