Charles Kahn proposes a unified view of these diverse and difficult works, from the Parmenides and Theaetetus to the Sophist and Timaeus, showing how they gradually develop the framework for Plato's late metaphysics and cosmology. The Parmenides, with its attack on the theory of Forms and its baffling series of antinomies, has generally been treated apart from the rest of Plato's late work. Kahn shows that this perplexing dialogue is the curtain-raiser on Plato's last metaphysical enterprise: the step-by-step construction of a wider theory of Being that provides the background for the creation story of the Timaeus. This rich study, the natural successor to Kahn's earlier Plato and the Socratic Dialogue, will interest a wide range of readers in ancient philosophy and science"-- _cProvided by publisher
520	0		_a"This is a sequel to Plato and the Socratic Dialogue (CUP 1998), in which I discussed Plato's earlier work, from the Apology to the Phaedrus. However, the current study represents an entirely new project. Although the author of these later dialogues is the same, the material is very different in both form and subject matter. Whereas Plato's earlier writing represents the finest literary achievement of ancient prose, with dramas such as the Symposium and the Phaedo designed to compete with the tragedies of Sophocles and Euripides, these later dialogues were scarcely designed for such artistic success"-- _cProvided by publisher
