Book Synopsis
Faced with the difficult task of discerning Plato's true ideas from the contradictory voices he used to express them, scholars have never fully made sense of the many incompatibilities within and between the dialogues. This title explains how these prose dramas cohere to reveal a comprehensive Platonic understanding of philosophy.

Trade Review
"Plato's Philosophers is brilliantly conceived, remarkably well executed, decidedly innovative, and enormously important. Illuminating a pattern of dramatic cohesiveness within Plato's body of work, Catherine Zuckert offers a compelling alternative to interpretations that trace a developmental logic across the dialogues. This book will spur us to rethink concepts and perspectives that have been taken for granted for too long. It is magisterial in the finest sense." - Gerald Mara, Georgetown University"
