Books in the Clarendon Plato Series series

In addition to its interest as one of Plato's dramatic masterpieces, the "Protagoras" presents a vivid picture of the crisis of 5th-century Greek thought. This revised edition contains revisions in the translation and commentary, and features a new preface and an updated bibliography.

The Gorgias is a vivid introduction to the central problems of moral and political philosophy. In the notes to his translation, Professor Irwin discusses the historical and social context of the dialogue, expounds and criticises the arguments, and tries above all to suggest the questions a modern reader ought to raise about Plato's doctrines. No knowledge of Greek is necessary.

Susan Sauve Meyer presents a new translation of Laws, 1 and 2: the opening books of Plato's last work, which discuss legislative theory, moral psychology, and aesthetics. This fluent, readable, and authoritative translation is accompanied by a critical commentary which explores the argument's structure, and the philosophical issues at stake.
