An Invitation to Know Plato More
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I find the book a great "next step" to get to know better the philosophers' Philosopher. I recommend it to everyone who wants to go beyond the general introductory books on Plato yet at the same time does not have the time or preparation to tackle the more complete translations. Devoid of verbiage, you get a sense what Socratic truth seeking is in its essence -- which is something not just for academics but for everyone wishing to see clarity and truth and justice on this earth.
