Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: As one would expect from the team of Brann, Kalkavage and Salem, their edition of Plato’s Meno is a fine one. The translation meets their stated goal of remaining ‘as faithful as possible to the Greek, while using lively, colloquial English.’ Their notes are consistently helpful and will be particularly useful to those readers willing to explore the nuances of Plato’s extraordinary prose. Their introduction is clear and compact, and it highlights the most philosophically important themes of the dialogue. One particularly useful feature of this edition is the manner in which it displays the diagrams Socrates draws in order to illustrate his famous ‘square within a square.’ Instead of relegating them to the notes, it integrates them into the text of the dialogue itself. Readers are able to follow along, and ‘watch’ Socrates actually construct them.” —David Roochnik, Boston University.
