Description

Explore a unique perspective on classical philosophy with Guardians on Trial by William H. F. Altman. This work expands upon the Reading Order concept previously established in Plato the Teacher: The Crisis of the Republic and The Guardians in Action. Altman provides a deep analysis of Plato's late dialogues by focusing on the sequence in which they are read rather than when they were composed. This study includes the essential dialogues depicting the trial and death of Socrates, specifically Euthyphro, Apology of Socrates, Crito, and Phaedo. By examining these texts through the lens of Reading Order, the book offers new insights into how Plato's narrative structure shapes our understanding of his philosophical mission. This is an essential resource for students and scholars of Western philosophy and the history of thought.

Key Features

Focuses on the Reading Order concept to analyze Plato's dialogues and their philosophical impact.

Includes detailed studies of the Euthyphro, Apology of Socrates, Crito, and Phaedo texts.

Connects previous research from Plato the Teacher and The Guardians in Action to complete this study.

Examines the trial and death of Socrates as a central component of Plato's late dialogues.

Provides academic depth for readers interested in the history and schools of Western philosophy.
