Plato and the Other Companions of Sokrates, 3rd ed. Volume 3
This third volume of Plato and the Other Companions of Sokrates, George Grote's survey of Plato's dialogues first published in 1865 and here in the 1888 edition, covers nine chapters of detailed analysis. It opens with the two erotic dialogues, the Phaedrus and the Symposium, then turns to the most difficult of the dialectical works: the Parmenides, the Theaetetus on knowledge, the Sophist and the Statesman, the Cratylus on the origin of names, and the Philebus on pleasure and the good, before closing with the Menexenus and the fragment Cleitophon. Grote, the historian of Greece and a philosophical radical, summarizes each dialogue and argues with Plato as with a contemporary, defending the Sophists and questioning the theory of ideas. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
