Reader reviews for Plato's Phaedrus

From the publisher

The dialogue begins with a playful discussion of erotic passion, then extends the theme to consider the nature of inspiration, love and knowledge. The centerpiece is the myth of the charioteer - the famous and moving account of the vision, fall and incarnation of the soul. Professor Hackforth here translates the dialogue for the student and general reader. There is a running commentary on the course of the argument and the meaning of the key Greek terms, and a full intoduction to explain the philosophical background and the place of this work among Plato's writings.

First line

Although it is impossible, and likely to remain impossible, to assign a precise date to the composition of the Phaedrus, or even to fix with complete certainty its position in the order of dialogues, there has been an increasing tendency during the present century to consider it a relatively late work.

Description:
Cambridge University Press, 1997. Paperback. Very Good. 5x0x8. [From the library of noted scholar William E. Connolly.] Softcover. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Edges creased. Clean, unmarked pages. <br> "William E. Connolly is Krieger-Eisenhower Professor in the political science department at Hopkins where he teaches political theory. His early book, The Terms of Political Discourse, was awarded the Benjamin Lippincott Award in 1999 as 'a work of exceptional quality that is still considered significant at least 15 years after publication.' In a poll of American political theorists published in PS in 2010, he was ranked the fourth most influential political theorist in America over the last twenty years, after Rawls, Habermas, and Foucault. His work focuses on the issues of democratic pluralism, capitalism, inequality, fascism, and bumpy intersections between capitalism and planetary amplifiers in climate change." - Johns Hopkins University
