FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request – – IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY PRISTINE NEVER OPENED -- 140 pages; clean and crisp tight and bright pages with no writing or markings to the text. -- DESCRIPTION: This new translation provides a careful introduction to one of Plato’s most widely studied dialogues. -- -- IMPORTANT & UNIQUE FEATURE: Included is a unique series of illustrations graphically describing step by step the geometrical argument central to understanding the Meno. Extensive endnotes provide guidance to understanding the structure and content of the dialogue. -- The endnotes annotating the text of the dialogue are keyed to our new Speech numbers along with the old Stephanus numbers but without reference to those notes in the text itself to distract the reader of the dialogue. Many readers once it is understood who is talking and perhaps where and when should be able to go through this dialogue without consulting any notes except perhaps for the geometrical illustrations provided in the note for Speech 356 86E-87B and Appendix B of this volume. Thus an attempt has been made by us to permit the reader of English to come to our text much as the reader of Greek might come to Plato’s original text. Some of the endnotes provide elementary information about now-obscure references in the text other of them are about implications of Greek words and wordplay that no translation can convey; still others are designed to help the reader address some of the more difficult questions raised by the dialogue. The endnotes also include references to other Platonic dialogues and to some ancient and modern texts where various questions touched upon in the Meno are treated in much greater detail than it is useful to do here. More than one-fourth of the Speeches in the Meno have at least one endnote provided for them in this volume. -- AUTHORS: George Anastaplo is a Professor of Law at Loyola University of Chicago.
