It is widely agreed that Plato laid the foundations for the whole
history of western thought and, well over 2000 years later, his
work is still studied by every student of philosophy. Yet his
thought and writings continue to evoke perplexity in readers; and
perplexity ( aporia) is itself a characteristic of many of his
writings, a recurrent motif of his thought, and apparently an
important stage one must pass through along the path to wisdom that
Plato presents. Plato: A Guide for the Perplexed is a clear and
thorough account of Plato's philosophy, his major works and ideas,
providing an ideal guide to the important and complex thought of
this key philosopher. The book offers a detailed review of all the
major dialogues and explores the particular perplexities of the
dialogue form. Geared towards the specific requirements of students
who need to reach a sound understanding of Plato's thought, the
book also provides a cogent and reliable survey of the whole
history of Platonic interpretation and his far-reaching influence.
This is the ideal companion to the study of this most influential
and challenging of philosophers.
