This publication is no. 79 of a series called 'A Very Short Introduction'
Few philosophers have been more intent on vigorous philosophizing than Plato. But none has matched the imagination and creativity with which he engages readers and entices them to join him in philisophical conversation. This book introduces Plato's many-sided and elusive genius in a way that is stimulating and accessible. In ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and theory of knowledge. Plato's wide-ranging, bold and influential ideas still challange us today.
'A thoroughly good idea, Snappy, smallformat...stylish design...perfect to pop into your pocket for spare moments' Lisa Jardin, The Times
