• Aristotle's criticisms of Plato, Gail Fine; Plato the sceptic, Julia Annas; silence and imitation in the Plato dialogues, L.A. Kosman; Plato and the erotics of narrativity, David M. Halperin; character and meaning in Plato's "Hippias Maior", Mary Whitlock Blundell; analyzing Plato's arguments - Plato and Platonism, S.Marc Cohen and David Keyt; Plato's arguements and the dialogue form, Michael Frede; a Maieutic view of the five late dialogues, Kenneth Sayre.

`Apparently, Smith believes that the approach to Plato based on the questions and methods of 20th century analytic philosophy is not an "ism", or even a definite mode of philosophizing that must stand open to critique, but simply the latest chapter in the age-old progressive narrative of the philosophical sciences. Happily, the exhilarating papers in this volume will, if read, make this conversation-stopping illusion more difficult to sustain.'Bryn Mawr Classical Review
