Why does Plato write dialogues? Why more than one? The Temporality
of Human Excellence begins with a brief introductory consideration
of these questions, and concludes with a suggestion about two
things: the intent of his use of this form, and the manner of its
concrete realization in a set of two dozen or so dialogues. Taking
up each dialogue as a separate drama, the reading seeks to focus
attention on how each, by its characters, their interplay and
conversation, and the apparent lack of positive issue to the
discussion they engage in, contributes to a sketch of human
excellence as a complex power developed and grown into as
consummation in the maturing, over time, of a human being.
