This lively and accessible introduction to Plato focuses on the philosophy and argument of his writings, drawing the reader into Plato's way of doing philosophy, and the general themes of his thinking. This is not a book to leave the reader standing in the outer court of introduction and background information, but leads directly into Plato's argument. It looks at Plato as a thinker grappling with philosophical problems in a variety of ways, rather than a philosopher with a fully worked-out system. It includes a brief account of Plato's life and the various interpretations that have been drawn from the sparse remains of information. It stresses the importance of the founding of the Academy and the conception of philosophy as a subject. Julia Annas discusses Plato's style of writing: his use of the dialogue form, his use of what we today call fiction, and his philosophical transformation of myths. She also looks at his discussions of love and philosophy, his attitude to women, and to homosexual love, explores Plato's claim that virtue is sufficient for happiness, and touches on his arguments for the immortality of the soul and his ideas about the nature of the universe.
There is a second way in which Plato uses the language of homoerotic romantic love. Most notably in the Symposium, he represents the urge to philosophical enquiry and the understanding as itself being a transformation of sexual desire. In a passage on the "ascent of love", Socrates describes how erotic urging can become sublimated and transfigured, leading the person to move beyond particular gratifications, finding satisfaction only in the transformation from individual possession to contemplation and understanding universal truths.

阅读体验良好，但总觉得Annas文笔略奇怪。结构的安排非常有趣，以对Theaetetus的讨论开始，全书传达出来一种强烈的信念，似乎是要在柏拉图身上树立关于论证/辩护-知识的信仰，书里对柏拉图的两种传统的区分似乎也可以印证这一点。可能因为是VSI，总体简明却不够深入，但也让阅读比较流畅。以及，女性主义视角讨论《理想国》的段落让人摸不着头脑...
