In engaging five of Plato's dialogues_Theaetetus, Euthyphro,
Cratylus, Sophist, and Statesman_and by paying particular attention
to Socrates' intellectual defense in the 'philosophic trial' by the
Stranger from Elea, Jacob Howland illuminates Plato's understanding
of the proper relationship between philosophy and politics. This
insightful and innovative study illustrates the Plato's
understanding of the difference between sophistry and philosophy,
and it identifies the innate contradictions of political philosophy
that Plato observed and remain entrenched within the field to this
day. This is essential reading for anyone interested in the past,
present, and future of political philosophy.
