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
