Plato 2 Summary

Plato 2: Ethics, Politics, Religion, and the Soul by Gail Fine (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, Cornell University)

The aim of the series is to bring together important recent writing in major areas of philosophical inquiry, selected from a variety of sources, mostly.

Plato 2 Reviews

The articles are all reader-friendly, following the editors aim of an open and discussion-orientated style...The writers assume an interest in their readers and, without patronising, they generally engage it. Thus, the difficult becomes not a barrier but a challenge. The collection, through its scope and quality, will be a standard for some time to come. * The Times Higher Education Supplement *
