This comprehensive reference guide includes over 140 entries on
every aspect of Plato's thought. Plato, mathematician, philosopher
and founder of the Academy in Athens, is, together with his
teacher, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle, universally
considered to have laid the foundations of western philosophy. His
philosophical dialogues remain among the most widely read and
influential of all philosophical texts and his enduring influence
on virtually every area of philosophical enterprise cannot be
disputed. This comprehensive and accessible guide to Plato's life
and times includes more than 140 entries, written by a team of
leading experts in the field of ancient philosophy, covering every
aspect of Plato's thought. The Companion presents details of
Plato's life, historical, philosophical and literary context,
synopses of all the dialogues attributed to Plato, a comprehensive
overview of the various features, themes and topics apparent in the
dialogues, and a thorough account of his enduring influence and the
various interpretative approaches applied to his thought throughout
the history of philosophy. This is an essential reference tool for
anyone working in the field of ancient philosophy. "The Continuum
Companions" series is a major series of single volume companions to
key research fields in the humanities aimed at postgraduate
students, scholars and libraries. Each companion offers a
comprehensive reference resource giving an overview of key topics,
