The Oxford Handbooks series is a major new initiative in academic
publishing. Each volume offers an authoritative and
state-of-the-art survey of current thinking and research in a
particular area. Specially commissioned essays from leading
international figures in the discipline give critical examinations
of the progress and direction of debates. Oxford Handbooks provide
scholars and graduate students with compelling new perspectives
upon a wide range of subjects in the humanities and social
sciences.
Plato is the best known, and continues to be the most widely
studied, of all the ancient Greek philosophers. The twenty-one
newly commissioned articles in the Oxford Handbook of Plato provide
in-depth and up-to-date discussions of a variety of topics and
dialogues. The result is a useful state-of-the-art reference to the
man many consider the most important philosophical thinker in
history.
Each article is an original contribution from a leading scholar,
and they all serve several functions at once: they survey the lay
of the land; express and develop the authors' own views; and
situate those views within a range of alternatives.
This Handbook contains chapters on metaphysics, epistemology,
love, language, ethics, politics, art and education. Individual
chapters are are devoted to each of the following dialogues: the
Republic, Parmenides, Theaetetus, Sophist, Timaeus, and Philebus.
There are also chapters on Plato and the dialogue form; on Plato in
his time and place; on the history of the Platonic corpus; on
Aristotle's criticism of Plato, and on Plato and Platonism.
