Features: This new translation of the great works of Western political thought is based on the belief that when Plato chooses the dialogue form for his writing, he intended these dialogues to sound like conversations—even though conversations of a philosophical sort. In addition to a vivid, dignified, and accurate rendition of Plato's text, the student and general reader will find many aids to comprehension in this body of the text; an analytical summary of the work's content; a full glossary of names; a chronology of important events; and a guide to further reading. The result is an accomplished and accessible edition of this seminal work, suitable for philosophers and classicists as well as historians of political thought at all levels.
