Description

The Being of the Beautiful collects Platoâ?Ts three dialogues, the Theaetetus, Sophist, and Statesmen, in which Socrates formulates his conception of philosophy while preparing for trial. Renowned classicist Seth Benardeteâ?Ts careful translations clearly illuminate the dramatic and philosophical unity of these dialogues and highlight Platoâ?Ts subtle interplay of language and structure. Extensive notes and commentaries, furthermore, underscore the trilogyâ?Ts motifs and relationships. â?oThe translations are masterpieces of literalness. . . . They are honest, accurate, and give the reader a wonderful sense of the Greek.â??â?"Drew A. Hyland, Review of Metaphysics
