Reading Plato offers a concise and illuminating insight into the
complexities and difficulties of the Platonic dialogues, providing
an invaluable text for any student of Plato's philosophy.
Taking as a starting point the critique of writing in the Phaedrus
-- where Socrates argues that a book cannot choose its reader nor
can it defend itself against misinterpretation -- Reading Plato
offers solutions to the problems of interpreting the dialogues. In
this ground-breaking book, Thomas A. Szlezak persuasively argues
that the dialogues are designed to stimulate philosophical enquiry
and to elevate philosophy to the realm of oral dialectic.
