Contrary to the opinion of one review, Thomas Taylor was not writing to impress his college professors. He was an 18th century Neoplatonist whose translations were influential on William Blake, Percy Bysshe Shelley and William Wordsworth. In American editions they were read by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott, and G. R. S. Mead, secretary to Mme Blavatsky, the founder of Theosophy. As a kindred spirit of the Greek philosophers he translated, Taylor's translations have a different flavor from the common translations of the Christian theologian Benjamin Jowett.

A person should understand how the framework of society developed. If you know the science, it's much easier to understand things developed in applied science.

Written in such a way that it is not really helpful. Much better just to start reading Plato's work.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 23, 2014Verified Purchase
This doesn't get a top rating because there are some typos in the text and the text is not easily navigable - for example there is a helpful glossary at the end which you only find out about when you get there. However, it has writing of real power and some gem-like passages of spiritual insight. This is a writer who really understands his subject from the inside. The text is also historically interesting as it relates to some of the thinking that was to inform the poetry of Wordsworth and Coleridge. To know that spiritual light of such radiance was shining in English culture as late as this is in itself inspiring. So I recommend it - it doesn't cost anything.

This is a great way into classical philosophy. Plato is a great place to start.
