The dialogue has disappeared as a mode of writing philosophy,
and philosophers who study Plato today often ignore the form in
which Plato's work appears in favor of reconstructing and analyzing
arguments thought to be conveyed by the content of the dialogues. A
distinguished classicist here offers an approach to understanding
Plato that tries to do full justice to the form of Platonic
philosophy, appreciated against the background of Greek literature
and history, while also giving proper due to the important
philosophic content of the dialogues.
The book deals in turn with Plato's relation to and portraits of
Socrates, the literary and philosophical character of the dialogues
(including the problems of interpreting a philosopher who never
speaks in his own name), and the modes of argumentation employed in
the dialogues as well as some of their major themes.
