This is the first volume dedicated to a direct exploration of
Wittgenstein and Plato. It is a compilation of essays by thirteen
authors of diverse geographical provenance, orientation and
philosophical interest.
The volume offers the most complete and detailed view to date on
Wittgenstein and Plato, without being tied to any unilateral
guidelines from either a critical or philosophical perspective. The
authors are scholars of Wittgenstein, but also of Plato and Greek
philosophy. The book is a sort of game of mirrors: Plato in the
mirror of Wittgenstein, and Wittgenstein in the mirror of Plato.
All essays always seek to combine philosophical interest and
philological attention, although, in some essays one interest
prevails over the other.
Despite the preponderance of scholars of Wittgenstein, the volume
seeks to be not only a book on Wittgenstein and Plato, but also,
simultaneously, on Plato and Wittgenstein.
Wittgenstein was a faithful and passionate reader of Plato's
Dialogues as confirmed by writings and witnesses. Here well-known
scholars of Wittgenstein and Plato illuminate the relationship
between the two philosophers both philologically and
philosophically, and provide new interpretation keys of two of the
leading figures of Western thought.
