Agora, Academy, and the Conduct of Philosophy offers extremely
careful and detailed criticisms of some of the most important
assumptions scholars have brought to bear in beginning the process
of (Platonic) interpretation. It goes on to offer a new way to
group the dialogues, based on important facts in the lives and
philosophical practices of Socrates - the main speaker in most of
Plato's dialogues - and of Plato himself. Both sides of Debra
Nails's arguments deserve close attention: the negative side, which
exposes a great deal of diversity in a field that often claims to
have achieved a consensus; and the positive side, which insists
that we must attend to what we know of these philosophers' lives
and practices, if we are to make a serious attempt to understand
why Plato wrote the way he did, and why his writings seem to depict
different philosophies and even different approaches to
philosophizing. From the Preface by Nicholas D. Smith.
