Rezensionen

"I find this a most useful volume, in which interesting new insights on an admittedly fairly well-worn subject are presented. Its most important feature is an insistence on the continuity of Plato's thought, and on the degree to which various different strategies of argument that appear in dialogues of various periods, the Socratic elenchus, hypothesis, and 'collection and division', are seen to be compatible and coherent. This goes counter to the views of many modern interpreters of Plato, but I think it is a perspective well worth developing, and it is accomplished with vigour here." - John Dillon, Trinity College Dublin
