Plato: Meno~
edited with an introduction, Translation and Notes by R.W. Sharples
Plato's Meno is the dialogue which more than any other occupies a transitional position between the early Socratic dialogues and the developed middle period theory of the Phaedo, Symposium and Republic. It is thus of particular interest for the insights that it gives us into the process by which Plato arrived at that theory. The issues which it raises are philosophically interesting in themselves: how can we know that we have the right answer to ...

Plato:Apology
with an introduction, translation and commentary by Michael C. Stokes
Plato's Apology of Socrates is a masterpiece of ancient rhetoric which illuminates Plato's version of Socrates' dialectical method. This edition aims to develop recent research-however the author is more sceptical than some of the historical accuracy of Plato's version of Socrates defence, interpreting it instead as a work of Plato's own art. Greek text with facing-page translation, introduction and commentary. 200p (Aris and Philips ...

Plato: Statesman
edited with an introduction, translation and commentary by C J Rowe~
Until now no English translation existed of the Statesman (one
of Plato's central works on politics, and on much else besides)
which was both accurate and usable: nor was there a modern
commentary which would help the reader through the argument,
which was, in some parts, likely to be inaccessible without a
guide. This new edition fills both gaps, being aimed especially,
like other volumes in the Aris &Phillips ...

Plato: Republic X
with translation, commentary and notes by S. Halliwell
This edition offers a full and up-to-date commentary on the
last book of the Republic, and explores in particular detail the
two main subjects of the book: Plato's most famous and
uncompromising condemnation of poetry and art, as vehicles of
falsehood and purveyors of dangerous emotions, and the Myth of
Er, which concludes the whole work with an allegorical vision of
the soul's immortality and of an eternally just ...

The Atlantis Story: A Short History of Plato's Myth
by Pierre Vidal-Naquet, translated from the French by Janet Lloyd, with a foreword by Geoffrey Lloyd
The history of the development through the ages of Plato's Atlantis story-the imperialist island state that disappeared in a cataclysm, leaving Athens to survive it . . .
Instead of simply focusing on the various attempts to 'find' Atlantis - all of which are futile for the very good reason that Plato made the island up - the author re-examines the very different uses made of the myth in different contexts and periods. He shows how ...

contemporary experimental psychology of dreaming. ...

Aristotle: On the Heavens
edited by Stuart Leggatt
The first two books of Aristotle's On the Heavens (De Caelo) offers perspectives on the cosmology of a thinker whose ideas in this area were considered authoritative by many until the 17th century of our era. This new translation and commentary provide the modern reader with the opportunity to appraise Aristotle's ideas in relation to the cosmologies of his predecessors. While tied to the thinking of his day, Aristotle nevertheless succeeded in ...

Words and Ideas: The Roots of Plato's Philosophy
by Fritz-Gregor Herrmann
Plato did not create his philosophy ex nihilo, but rather drew on four centuries of literary production in epic and lyric poetry, as well as on ethnography and historiography, tragedy and comedy, medical and mathematical research, oratory and rhetorical theory. Words and Ideas offers a study of Plato's philosophical language against this cultural background, retracing to their origins the history and development of the key terms of ...
