A Guided Tour of Five Works by Plato: With Complete Translations of Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Phaedo (Death Scene, and Allegory of the Cave)

Offering a study of five Plato dialogues, this book takes students through a variety of creative questions and tasks, aiming to help them to develop their critical thinking and reading and writing skills. Annotation tasks in the margins invite students to underline key sentences, paraphrase main ideas, or supply original illustrative examples. A chapter gives advice on writing about Plato's works, and an appendix new to this edition provides a brief overview of epistemology, metaphysics and ethics.
