In Plato's Theaetetus, Socrates is portrayed as a midwife to the
intellect, a metaphor for his task as a dialectician as he seeks to
help give birth to wisdom. Thus it is that the author refers to
Plato as the midwife's apprentice. This volume represents an
attempt to provide a more manageable account of the author's two
volume magnum opus, An Examination of Plato's Doctrines. An
accessible and lucid introduction to Plato's ideas is provided
which nonetheless challenges traditional interpretations. In
particular the author is concerned to offer an interpretation of
the significance of what Plato said. The chapters are arranged by
topic, for ease of comprehension.
