Plato s Euthyphro is important because it gives an excellent
example of Socratic dialogue in operation and of the connection of
that dialectic with Plato s earlier theory of Forms. Professor
Allen s edition of the dialogue provides a translation with
interspersed commentary, aimed both at helping the reader who does
not have Greek and also elucidating the discussion of the earlier
Theory of Forms which follows. The author argues that there is a
theory of Forms in the Euthyphro and in other early Platonic
dialogues and that this theory is the foundation of Socratic
dialogue. However, he maintains that the theory in the early
dialogues is a realist theory of universals and this theory is not
to be identified with the theory of Forms found in the Phaedo,
Republic, and other middle dialogues, since it differs on the
issues of ontological status.
