Exceptional translations by leading contemporary scholars—many of which were commissioned specifically for this volume—are presented here in the first unified edition that includes the complete surviving corpus of works attributed to Plato in antiquity. In his introductory essay, John Cooper explains the presentation of these works, discusses questions about the dating of their composition, comments on the dialogue form in which Plato wrote, and offers guidance on approaching the reading and study of Plato's works.

Additionally, concise introductions by Cooper and Hutchinson are included for each translation, along with careful notes designed to serve both the scholar and the general reader, as well as a complete index. This elegant volume features excellent paper and high-quality Smyth sewing in a sturdy, stylish edition.
