A Translation of Plato’s «Sophist» with an Introductory Commentary: Translated by James Duerlinger- Revised Edition (New Perspectives in Philosophical Scholarship)

This translation of Plato s Sophist conveys the peculiar nature of the doctrines expressed in the Greek text, and it includes an introduction that attempts without recourse to contemporary technical philosophical ideas to explain these doctrines from the perspective of how Plato s philosophy was understood by Aristotle and the ancient Platonists. For this reason the book is especially suitable for use in undergraduate courses on Plato and in introductory courses on the history of ancient philosophy.
