商品簡介
Taylor's history of the philosopher's life and works (first published in 1926) was intended to describe, simply, what Plato said about the problems of thought and life and how he said it, without getting into "what some contemporary thinks Plato should have said." In addition to an analysis of the dialogues, he provides an introduction outlining what's known about the events of Plato's life, placing his writings into their historic context. An appendix explores writings (including several letters) that have been attributed to the philosopher, with reasons for accepting or rejecting them as Plato's work. Annotation c.
