Description

Explore a new perspective on classical thought with Plato and the Art of Philosophical Writing from Cambridge University Press. Rather than viewing Plato's dialogues as simple examples of philosophy in action, Professor Rowe presents them as literary-philosophical artefacts. This scholarly work examines how Plato used his writing to persuade readers to change their fundamental views of life and the universe. This book offers a unique look at a radically new Plato. It argues that Plato remains a Socratic figure throughout his work, maintaining the essence found in the Apology and the early Socratic dialogues even in his later writings. For students and readers of ancient Greek history and philosophy, this text provides a deep understanding of how Plato's literary style serves his philosophical goals. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the evolution of Socratic thought and the complex nature of Platonic dialogue.
