Form and Argument in Late Plato
Christopher Gill & Mary Margaret McCabe (eds.)
Oxford University Press (1996)
| Abstract | Why did Plato put his philosophical arguments into dialogues, rather than presenting them in a plain and readily understandable fashion? A group of distinguished scholars here offer answers to this question by studying the relation between form and argument in his late dialogues. These penetrating studies show that the literary structure of the dialogues is of vital importance in the ongoing interpretation of Plato. | |||||||||
