PLATO, Platoonse liefde. Het Symposium en de Phaedrus van Plato. Vertaald en toegelicht door Charles Hupperts. Damon, Budel, 2016. 304p. Hardbound. Reading ribbon. 'In een mooie gebonden uitgave zijn twee van de bekendste dialogen van de Griekse filosoof Plato (427-347 v.Chr.) op voorbeeldige wijze voor een Nederlands publiek toegankelijk gemaakt. 'Het Symposium' geldt als Plato's meesterwerk en de 'Phaedrus' is nauwelijks minder bekend; beide behelsen filosofische gesprekken over de liefde (eros), waarin Plato's leermeester Socrates een belangrijke rol vervult. De vertaling van de Amsterdamse classicus en filosoof Charles Hupperts is eenvoudig, helder en soepel; een genoegen om te lezen. De inleiding op het denken van Plato en Socrates en op beide werken, en de uitvoerige verklarende aantekeningen bij de tekst, maken dit boek een feest om te lezen voor ieder die interesse heeft in de antieke filosofie en het denken over de liefde.'

PLATO, Meno. Edited with introduction and commentary by R.S. Bluck. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1964. Reprint 1st ed.1961.VIII,473p. Original blue cloth. Spine gilt titled. Ex libris glued to paste-down endpaper. Pages a bit yellowed. 'Dr. Bluck's new edition of the 'Meno' is extremely welcome, both for its ample scale and for the high standard of scholarship which has been brought to the task. It does not include a translation, but otherwise gives all that could be asked for by anyone embarking upon the study of the dialogue. It is particularly full and satisfying from three points of view - it gives a new critical Greek text with a new apparatus criticus, the commentary devotes much attention to linguisticquestion and to the finer points of meaning in the text, and the long introduction and the greater part of the commentary deal fully with the interpretation of the argument and the philosophical problems which it raises. It thus provides materials for bringing together the philosophical and the philological study of Plato in a way that is very desirable.' (G.B. KERFERD in The Classical Review (New Series), 1963, p.43). € 45.00 (Antiquarian)

PLATO, Protagoras. Edited by N. Denyer. Cambridge University Press, 2011. XIII,207p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics. The Protagoras is one of Plato's most entertaining dialogues. It represents Socrates at a gathering of the most celebrated and highest-earning intellectuals of the day, among them the sophist Protagoras. In flamboyant displays of both rhetoric and dialectic, Socrates and Protagoras try to out-argue one another. Their arguments range widely, from political theory to literary criticism, from education to the nature of cowardice; but in view throughout this literary and philosophical masterpiece are the questions of what part knowledge plays in a successful life, and how we may acquire the knowledge that makes for success. This edition contains the first commentary in English on the Greek text for almost a hundred years. The commentary provides the assistance with linguistic, literary and philosophical detail that will enable students and scholars to savour to the full the pleasures of the Protagoras.
