| Synopsis: |
The Being of the Beautiful collects Plato s three dialogues, the Theaetetus, Sophist, and Statesmen, in which Socrates formulates his conception of philosophy while preparing for trial. Renowned classicist Seth Benardete s careful translations clearly illuminate the dramatic and philosophical unity of these dialogues and highlight Plato s subtle interplay of language and structure. Extensive notes and commentaries, furthermore, underscore the trilogy s motifs and relationships. The translations are masterpieces of literalness. . . . They are honest, accurate, and give the reader a wonderful sense of the Greek. Drew A. Hyland, Review of Metaphysics" |
