SCHODER, R.V., Hellas in vogelvlucht. Het oude Griekenland vanuit de lucht gezien. Spectrum, Utrecht, 1974. 254p. ills. Cloth wrps. Original title: Greece from the air. 'This handsome and exciting volume contains air photographs in colour of eighty of the most important excavated sites of ancient Greece. The intention is 'to provide a new experience and perspective' and in this it is splendedly suddessful. These views of ancient ruins embedded in the Greek countryside are at the same time breathtakingly beautiful and genuinely informative. (...) Each photograph is accompanied by a commentary outlining the history of the site or buildings concerned, a perspective sketch or plan on which the visible features are numbered for easy reference, and a list of the numbered features. Regrattably this supporting material is not all as good as it should be (...). It is the collection of photogrpahs, however, which remains the justification for the boo, and these are a constant source of pleasure and instruction. (...) This book can be recommended as good value equally for school and departmental libraries, for the armchair traveler and for the tourist on the ground.' (D. R. WILSON on the English original edition in The Classical Review (New Series), 1977, p.311). € 12.50 (Antiquarian)

SCHOFIELD, M., Plato. Political Philosophy. Oxford University Press, 2006. 1st ed. X,344p. Original dark blue cloth with dust wrps. Upper edge a bit foxed. With authors intention to Jaap (Mansfeld). Signature from J. Mansfeld and date on free endpaper. Series: Founders of Modern Political and Social Thought. Nice copy. ‘This book is an outstanding contribution to our understanding of Platonic political philosophy. (…) This dense yet readable book combines historical exactness with modern perspectives, avoids moral condemnation and absurd eulogy alike, and deals with scholarly problems without losing sight of the philosophical issues at stake. (…) S. Shows brilliantly how the harsh Platonic critique of democracy still has relevance for our modern problem of the authority of knowledge in government: (…). S. Reads Plato as a serious political philosopher whose political solutions have been outdated for the most part but are never superficial answers to superficial problems. Hence the fruitfulness of some of S.’s references to modern political philosophers (Hamermas, Rawls, Walzer) or to economists (Keynes, Hayek) which confirm the ongoing need to engage with Plato on political matters as such. Reading S. Will give the non-specialist a clear sense of why Plato is still an indispensable political thinker’ and the more expert reader will feel relieved not to on once again through the familiar narrative of Plato’s development in political matters. (…) S. Argues convincingly that in political philosophy there is no essential modification in Plato’s thought. This allows him to concentrate on some leading themes running through the main political dialogues and some of the so-called Socratic dialogues. In consequence, the organisation of the volume is refreshingly original: S. Leads his reader from the broad context of Athenian democratic history to the ‘Republic’ and from there to the main themes of Plato’s political thinking (knowledge, utopia, money and ideology).
