"The Platonic Forms of the Platonic dialogues."―Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of Plato at the Googleplex

This classic edition of Plato’s complete writings has long been a favorite of readers.

In a new foreword, acclaimed philosopher and novelist Rebecca Newberger Goldstein describes Plato’s unparalleled importance to philosophy down to the present day, why he chose the artful form of the dialogue, and what makes this edition of his writings so special.
