- Summary
- The contributors to this volume focus on two main themes. First, the general problem of interpreting a Platonic dialogue: what assumptions about the text are made or ought to be made, and how do these assumptions illumine or conceal the content of the dialogues? The second theme concerns Plato's reasons for writing dialogues as distinguished from treatises, Plato being the only western philosopher to have written almost exclusively in dialogue form.
