This book, written in non-technical language, addresses itself to the general reader as well as to the specialist. Now, the educator and the artist, the psychologist and the politician, the social worker and the economist, can have the profound and elevated Plato at their fingertips. In fact, anyone who is the least interested in philosophy can turn to this book, as well as to its companion volume Aristotle Dictionary, and find the real heart of the philosophy of these two titans.
This exhaustive volume contains all the views and definitions of Plato scattered throughout his many dialogues gathered under a comprehensive series of unified headings. Thus a deeper and easier understanding of each philosophical issue, be it in a practical or theoretical area, is made available. The great Greek philosopher has finally descended from the library shelf and into the waiting hands of the appreciative reader.
The Plato Dictionary is an indispensable volume for student, scholar and interested reader alike. Its author, a Doctor of Political Science from the University of Vienna, has published other books on Plato, and is also an atuhority on the philosophy of Kant.
