Editorial Reviews
Review
This is an interesting and valuable collection, which will be extremely useful in many courses dealing with Plato and the issues that he treats. (Nicholas White )
The spread of topics is wide, reasonably balanced. . . . The book will serve well as a set of secondary readings to accompany an advanced course on the Republic. . . . This is a useful collection which will certainly find its way onto many bibliographies. (Stephen Halliwell The Classical Review, Vol. Xlix No.1, 1999 )
This is an interesting and well-balanced collection. . . . There is a fine balance between earlier, well established pieces, and recent material. I am delighted that such a volume is now available. (Julius M. Moravcsik )
