Description

Menexenus remains one of Plato's most neglected dialogues, frequently dismissed as spurious or ridiculed as parody due to its puzzling nature and unconventional treatment of Athenian funeral rhetoric. Pappas and Zelcer challenge this scholarly consensus with a compelling reinterpretation that reshapes how we understand both Plato's philosophical method and his political thought. Organised in two parts, the book begins with a detailed synopsis of the dialogue and explores its historical setting and background before progressing to deeper analysis of its themes. This work offers valuable insights into the relationship between education, rhetoric, myth and history in Plato's thinking, making it essential reading for scholars of ancient Greek philosophy, classical studies and the history of political theory.

Key Features

Provides a persuasive alternative reading of Plato's Menexenus that reconsiders scholarly interpretations of the dialogue's authenticity and purpose.

Explores the connection between education, rhetoric, myth and history within Plato's political philosophy and intellectual framework.

Organised into two structured parts that begin with synopsis and historical context before advancing to detailed philosophical analysis.

Contributes significantly to understanding Plato's approach to Athenian political thought and the dialogue form itself.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in ancient philosophy and classical studies.
