R. S. Bluck's engaging volume provides an accessible introduction
to the thought of Plato. In the first part of the book the author
provides an account of the life of the philosopher, from Plato's
early years, through to the Academy, the first visit to Dionysius
and the third visit to Syracuse, and finishing with an account of
his final years. In the second part contains a discussion of the
main purpose and points of interest of each of Plato's works. There
is a chapter on Plato's central doctrine, the Theory of Ideas, and
a translation of Plato's Seventh Letter, which not only provides
valuable additional material for the study of Plato's thought but
also contains a vivid account of many incidents in Plato's life.

This 1961 edition of Plato's Meno was originally edited by R. S.
Bluck, Senior Lecturer in Greek at the University of Manchester.
Its value lies in the incredibly extensive preliminary chapters
provided by Bluck, designed to truly enhance the reader's
engagement with this ancient text. In almost 150 pages of
introductory chapters, Bluck reviews the argument of the Meno, its
relation to wider philosophical and dialogues (written both before
and after Plato), and summarises Plato's use of the hypothetical
method in the Meno, the Phaedo and the Republic. He also provides a
detailed synopsis of Plato's Meno before presenting the full Greek
text, accompanied by a wide-ranging and incredibly accessible
commentary. Finally, Bluck presents the reader with indices in both
English and Greek, ensuring that this volume remains an endlessly
rewarding reference and research work.
