This book helps understand Plato's writings by describing the
circumstances in which they were produced. The author begins with
an account of Plato's life and development and a brief analysis of
some of the more difficult points arising from the criticism of
Plato's writings. The remainder of the work considers the total
setting - political, literary and philosophical - in which Plato's
writings were produced. There are extensive appendices on the
Platonic Epistles, Aristotle and the Theory of Ideas, and on the
post-Aristotelian tradition. The result is both a lucid account of
Plato himself and a comprehensive view of culture in fifth century
Greece.
