This edition contains seven of the dialogues of Plato and is the first in a five-volume complete edition of Plato's works in the "Oxford Classical Texts" series. It represents the latest in textual scholarship. All primary manuscripts have been checked and in most cases, freshly collated.
This long awaited new edition contains seven of the dialogues of Plato, and is the first in the five-volume complete edition of Plato's works in the Oxford Classical Texts series. The result of many years of painstaking scholarship, the new volume will replace the now nearly one hundred-year-old original edition, and is destined to become just as long lasting a classic.
No text can satisfy all readers, least of all the text of an author whose meaning has been the subject of fierce argument for almost 2,400 years. But this edition, with its thorough, accurate, and reliable presentation of the evidence, allows the thoughtful user to make his own decisions. It is a worthy successor to Burnet and will be the standard text of the first two tetralogies for a great many years to come.
