Plato's Literary Garden - How to Read a Platonic Dialogue (Paperback, New edition)

Plato's dialogues are universally acknowledged as standing among
the masterworks of the Western philosophic tradition. What most
readers do not know, however, is that Plato also authored a public
letter in which he unequivocally denies ever having written a work
of philosophy. If Plato did not view his written dialogues as works
of philosophy, how did he conceive them, and how should readers
view them? In Plato's Literary Garden, Kenneth M. Sayre brings over
thirty years of Platonic scholarship to bear on these questions,
arguing that Plato did not intend the dialogues to serve as
repositories of philosophic doctrine, but instead composed them as
teaching instruments.
