"As one would expect from the team of Brann, Kalkavage and Salem, their edition of Plato''s Meno is a fine one. The translation meets their stated goal of remaining ''as faithful as possible to the Greek, while using lively, colloquial English.'' Their notes are consistently helpful and will be particularly useful to those readers willing to explore the nuances of Plato''s extraordinary prose. Their introduction is clear and compact, and it highlights the most philosophically important themes of the dialogue. One particularly useful feature of this edition is the manner in which it displays the diagrams Socrates draws in order to illustrate his famous ''square within a square.'' Instead of relegating them to the notes, it integrates them into the text of the dialogue itself. Readers are able to follow along, and ''watch'' Socrates actually construct them." -David Roochnik, Boston University
Translation in English with notes, appendices, interpretive essay and introduction.
This is an English translation of Plato's dialogue of Socrates seeking the true definition of rhetoric, with an attempt to show the flaws of the sophistic orators. Includes speeches from Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian Wars that reflect Plato's themes. Focus Philosophical Library translations are close to and are non-interpretative of the original text, with the notes and a glossary intending to provide the reader with some sense of the terms and the concepts as they were understood by Plato's immediate audience.
