About this title

Synopsis

Understanding Plato is the first book in a series on the classical philosophers. It contains a complete discussion and analysis of four of the early Socratic dialogues (Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno) and the Republic, Plato's longer and more famous work. All books in the series are designed for beginning and intermediate philosophy students who want clarity and more depth than they would ordinarily get from books that offer only outlines of the philosopher's thoughts and theories. Each book focuses on both content and philosophical method. Each chapter breaks down the philosopher's arguments into understandable sections, showing how they reach their conclusions and defend against possible objections. Each chapter concludes with a set of questions for thought and discussion. Some questions are on topics that provide an excellent starting point for term papers. References to other books about the philosopher or the topic can be found at the end of the chapter, in footnotes, textboxes or at the back of the book. Other books in the Smart Student's Guide series are on John Locke's Second Treatise of Government, John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism and On Liberty, Immanuel Kant's Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals, and David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion.
