A Plato Reader presents a comprehensive collection of eight renowned works by Plato, including Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Phaedo, Symposium, Phaedrus, and Republic. These masterpieces have been meticulously introduced and annotated by renowned scholars C. D. C. Reeve, G. M. A. Grube, Alexander Nehamas, and Paul Woodruff. The collection revolves around the central character of Socrates, serving as a model of the examined life. It showcases Socrates in various contexts and philosophical modes, from the elenctic Socrates of the Meno and dialogues related to his trial and death to the erotic Socrates of the Symposium and Phaedrus, and the dialectician of the Republic. Reeve's translation of Plato's final masterpiece, the Republic, is highly regarded. Taking advantage of S. R. Slings's new Greek text, Reeve has crafted a translation that is both accurate and lucid. His meticulous attention to detail and profound understanding of Plato's thought are evident on every page. Reeve's innovative decision to present the dialogue in direct speech creates a compelling sense of immediacy, surpassing other English translations currently available.
