'Maieusis' pays tribute to the highly influential work of Myles
Burnyeat, whose contributions to the study of ancient philosophy
have done much to enhance the profile of the subject around the
world. What is distinctive about his work is his capacity to deepen
our understanding of the relation between ancient and modern
thought, and to combine the best of contemporary philosophy - its
insights as well as its rigour - with a deep sensitivity to
classical texts. Nineteen of the world's leading experts in the
field examine a wide range of topics in ancient philosophy, with a
particular focus on Plato. Topics include Socrates and the nature
of philosophy, the different aspects of eros in the 'Symposium',
'Republic' and Phaedrus, the 'Phaedo's arguments for immortality,
wars and warriors in Plato, and the different aspects of the cave
allegory in the Republic.
