Plato on Rhetoric and Language presents, for the first time in one
volume, four key Platonic dialogues on rhetoric and language in
complete, contemporary translations: the Ion, the Protagoras, the
Gorgias, and the Phaedrus. Previously, those interested in reading
or teaching these dialogues had to acquire several books, typically
having introductions that portrayed Plato's philosophy as strictly
anti-rhetorical. The introduction to this volume treats Plato's
discussions of the language arts as central to his philosophical
practice. Reflecting current critical discussions about the
significance of ambiguities and inconsistencies in the dialogues,
the introduction approaches them as enacting the dialogical and
rhetorical practice of philosophy rather than as expositions of
doctrine. Readers are thus invited to participate in the dialogues
as vital philosophical conversations about issues that animate
contemporary rhetorical and literary thought today. Specific
features of this text include: * four key dialogues on rhetoric and
language presented in one volume in complete, contemporary
translations; * an introduction that discusses the complexities of
Plato's dialogues and views on language, writing, dialogue,
rhetoric, and poetics in a readable style; * brief introductions to
each dialogue that point out the major features of the dialogue as
well as raise questions to stimulate thoughtful reading; * an
expanded bibliography for those interested in pursuing further
critical discussion of the texts; and * an index to key terms and
concepts covered in the introduction and dialogues.
