In this international and interdisciplinary collection of critical

essays, distinguished contributors examine a crucial premise of

traditional readings of Plato's dialogues: that Plato's own doctrines

and arguments can be read off the statements made in the dialogues by

Socrates and other leading characters. The authors argue in general and

with reference to specific dialogues, that no character should be taken

to be Plato's mouthpiece. This is essential reading for students and

scholars of Plato.
