Title: Excellent
Product review: Well, I don't think I need to review the ideas of Plato. Besides, to do that would take far more space than I have, and far more time than I'm alotting to this review.Ultimately, what makes this book so good is that its a cheap yet extremely intelligent and scholarly intro to Plato. The 5 dialogues within are incredibly thought-provoking, and are an excellent demonstration of philosophical thought and logical argument. My only problem is that sometimes its hard to understand the prose, but that may be a result of translation from the Greek. I don't know, but this is a small complaint...if one sits and really gives a confusing sentence a close, close reading, one can usually figure out what's being said.5 Stars, for the philosophical ideas within, presented (mostly) in a clear way (via translation), the packaging of these 5 critical dialogues together neatly and cheaply, and a brief yet informative intro and good footnotes.
