Plato's unusual combination of argumentative and creative talents

complicates any interpretative approach to his work, as does his choice

of Socrates as a major figure. In recent years, scholars have looked

more closely at the philosophical importance of the imaginative and

literary aspects of Plato's writing, and have begun to appreciate the

methods of the ancient philosophers and commentators who studied Plato

and their attitudes to Plato's appropriation of Socrates.

This study brings together leading philosophical and literary scholars

who investigate these new-old approaches and their significance in

distancing us from the standard ways of reading Plato. Confronting the

standard modern readings more directly, this work attempts to present

the outcomes of these investigations to readers in a way that will

encourage further exploration and innovative engagement.

Review:

“For those wanting an overview of contemporary Anglophone debate on how

to approach Plato, this is the place to come...New Perspectives on Plato

is an indispensable guide, complete with useful bibliographies and

index.”―Angela Hobbs, Hermathena
