Cambridge University Press London . 1952. VII172p. Paperback. Name and date on free endpaper. Nice copy. Mr. Hackforth . 'divides the dialogue into twenty-six sections each preceded by a synopsis and followed by stimulating and instructive discussions. The translation combines fidelity with elegance and is scrupulously free from embroidery. . Hackforth rightly defends the unity of the dialogue; it is held together by its main puposes 'to vindicate the pursuit of philosophy' by contrast with the claims of rhetoric. . I am glad to acknowledge that I have learned a great deal from this book.' J. TATE in The Classical Review New Series 1955 pp.156-58. paperback
Cambridge University Press Cambridge . 2010. XLIV214p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought. This text is perfect for political theory or intellectual history courses at any post-secondary level; nor would it be irrelevant for a philosophy class with supplementary discussion or reading. The translation is both fully pleasurable to read and true to Platos vernacular and dramatic intentions; the introduction is clear-eyed smart free of dogma and non-didactic; and the format and apparatus provide every kind of help to be hoped for from a non-commentary. It is refreshingly oriented away from establishing or asserting Platos views about politics justice democracy or some factitious version of rhetoric. The combination of three texts makes particular pedagogical sense and for such a combination this edition wins out over alternative competing versions. Griffith translates the conversations vividly and brilliantly in a colloquial but elegant English full of sensitivity to Socrates modulation of rapport with his interlocutors. . The translations come with about 250 footnotes. Schofield their author explicates no principle of inclusion but succeeds admirably at judging what will help a new reader make sense of the three conversations. He inserts one-sentence recapitulations descriptions of interpretative cruxes foreshadowing signposts cross-references historical background dramatic explanation and infrequently translation matters. . Schofields twenty-five page Introduction is a model of good judgment and restraint. It avoids 'treatment' of the Plato vs. Socrates question simply talking of Plato as the writer and Socrates as the main character and skips declaiming on 'How to read a dialogue' simply modeling the kinds of inquiry one might reasonably make into a Platonic text.
