Altogether MASTERLY." -The New Yorker "The author's approach in this volume is not to Plato's philosophy as a mere system of abstract ideas, but as embodying certain historical situations, literary forms, & universal human concerns. . . . Professor Friedlander is no narrow classical scholar but a humanist whose interests range from ancient tapestries to landscapes in Goethe. His approach to Plato is correspondingly nonacademic & reveals Plato as concerned primarily w/ fundamental problems of human conduct & existence. The metaphysics of the later dialog grows out of the human concerns of the historical Socrates. This 'existential' (in the best sense) approach is most fruitful, & the author sheds much new light on such notions as Platonic love (which is the ascent from empirical to transcendental beauty) & on the Platonic dialectic of forms reflected in the actual world of experience." -The Personalist * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: PAUL FRIEDLANDER, one of the great Platonists of modern times, was professor of classics at the universities of Berlin, Marburg, Halle, & at the University of California at Los Angles. He died in 1968. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for an additional below-cost fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS AIRMAIL to all international destinations.
