This is another volume in the new Cambridge series of companions to major philosophers. Each volume will contain
specially commissioned essays by an international team of
scholars, together with a substantial bibliography, and will
serve as a reference work for students and nonspecialists.
One aim of the series is to dispel the intimidation such
readers often feel when faced with the work of a difficult and
challenging thinker.
Plato stands at the head of our philosophical tradition, being the first Western thinker to produce a body of writing that
touches upon a wide range of topics still discussed by philosophers today. In a sense he invented philosophy as a distinct
subject, for although many of these topics were discussed by
his intellectual predecessors and contemporaries, he was the
first to bring them together by giving them a unitary treatment. He conceives of philosophy as a discipline with a distinctive intellectual method, and he makes radical claims for
its position in human life and the political community. This
volume contains fifteen new essays discussing Plato's views
about knowledge, reality, mathematics, politics, ethics, love,
poetry, and religion. There are also analyses of the intellectual and social background of his thought, the development of
his philosophy throughout his career, the range of alternative
approaches to his work, and the stylometry of his writing.
New readers and nonspecialists will find this the most
convenient, accessible guide to Plato currently available. Advanced students and specialists will find a conspectus of
recent developments in the interpretation of Plato.
