Description

William H. F. Altman completes his comprehensive study of Plato's late dialogues by demonstrating that the trial and death of Socrates dialogues form part of a structured reading sequence. Building on his earlier works Plato the Teacher: The Crisis of the Republic (2012) and The Guardians in Action (2016), Altman argues that Reading Order-not composition date-defines Euthyphro, Apology of Socrates, Crito, and Phaedo as late dialogues. This scholarly analysis reveals Plato's intentional arrangement and philosophical progression through these foundational texts, offering classical philosophy students and academics a new framework for understanding the interconnected arguments and themes that unite these dialogues. The work provides detailed textual examination and interpretative guidance for those studying Platonic philosophy, the Socratic trial, and the development of Western philosophical thought.
