Plato is the best known, and continues to be the most widely
studied, of all the ancient Greek philosophers. The updated and
original essays in the second edition of the Oxford Handbook of
Plato provide in-depth discussions of a variety of topics and
dialogues, all serving several functions at once: they survey the
current academic landscape; express and develop the authors' own
views; and situate those views within a range of alternatives. The
result is a useful state-of-the-art reference to the man many
consider the most important philosophical thinker in history. This
second edition of the Oxford Handbook of Plato differs in two main
ways from the first edition. First, six leading scholars of ancient
philosophy have contributed entirely new chapters: Hugh Benson on
the Apology, Crito, and Euthyphro; James Warren on the Protagoras
and Gorgias; Lindsay Judson on the Meno; Luca Castagnoli on the
Phaedo; Susan Sauve Meyer on the Laws; and David Sedley on Plato's
theology. This new edition therefore covers both dialogues and
topics in more depth than the first edition did. Secondly, most of
the original chapters have been revised and updated, some in small,
others in large, ways.
