Читать книгу PLATO - Hoshang Khambatta - Страница 5

These are excellent introductions to Plato’s works, and just the thing I ask my students to do when they read difficult texts. Congratulations on this good achievement. I will share this text with my colleagues here, and wish you continued success in your work.

The book, which summarizes Plato’s Dialogues, is directed at a novice, a teenager who has reached a stage of understanding or an adult? This summary offers everyone an access to understanding Plato and his contribution to western philosophy. It is certainly a “must read” as it is written in modern colloquial English in one volume – an impressive feat by all accounts. Certainly it was no small accomplishment to condense the equivalent of 1500 pages of Plato’s Dialogues in some 250 summarized ones. As of now it is the only summary of all of Plato’s Dialogues available in English in one volume.

The total set of Plato’s Dialogues makes it very sizeable literature. This book is an effective summary of each of the dialogues. If someone wishes to know the views of Plato without going through the vast literature of the dialogues, then this book is for that person.
