Inhaltsangabe

While the dramatic approach to Plato's dialogues has become popular over the last decade, little attention has been paid to the poetic quality of Plato's writing, and the received view of Platonic philosophy still depends on an unpoetic and largely literalist reading of the dialogues. The authors of this volume focus on the text of selected dialogues to identify the thread that unifies each of them from a literary point of view. The conclusions they reach in practicing this kind of reading are diametrically opposed to the largest stream of Platonic scholarship and show the fallacy of important metaphysical, epistemological, political, and ethical positions frequently attributed to Plato.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

GENE FENDT grew up in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, the eldest of twelve children born to Gene and Mary Fendt. After this happy childhood, he spent the greatest part of his teaching career in the very middle of the country, where he was granted the first Albertus Magnus Chair in Philosophy at the University of Nebraska-Kearney. Besides poetry, he has published on a broad range of topics, a number of which show up among these poems.
