"The Platonic Forms of the Platonic dialogues."—Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of Plato at the Googleplex

For the first time in paperback, the landmark one-volume edition of the complete writings of Plato

This classic one-volume edition of the complete writings of Plato is now available in paperback for the very first time. The editors, Edith Hamilton and Huntington Cairns, chose the contents from the work of the best modern British and American translators. The volume contains prefatory notes to each dialogue, by Hamilton; an introductory essay on Plato’s philosophy and writings, by Cairns; and a comprehensive index with cross references. In a new foreword, acclaimed philosopher and novelist Rebecca Newberger Goldstein describes Plato’s unparalleled importance to philosophy down to the present day, why he chose the artful form of the dialogue, and what makes this edition of his writings special.

Rebecca Newberger Goldstein is a philosopher and novelist whose books include Plato at the Googleplex: Why Philosophy Won’t Go Away and Thirty-Six Arguments for the Existence of God: A Work of Fiction.
