Description

Explore one of Plato's most significant dialogues with this scholarly edition from Cambridge University Press. While ostensibly a discussion about love, the Phaedrus provides a deep examination of the art of rhetoric and the proper way to practice it. This edition is designed for students and scholars who require a thorough understanding of the text and its historical context. This volume includes an introductory essay that outlines the full argument of the dialogue. You can study Plato's specific arguments regarding rhetoric and eros through a detailed lens. The introduction also examines Plato's unique writing style and tracks how the dialogue has been received from its original composition through to the twentieth century. For those studying the original language, this edition provides a new Greek text accompanied by a select textual apparatus. The bulk of the book is dedicated to a comprehensive Commentary that elucidates the text, making it an essential resource for anyone studying Ancient Greek history, philosophy, or civilization.
