Description

History of Greek Philosophy Vol IV IV Plato Early Period WKC Guthrie Cambridge. A History of Greek Philosophy, Volume IV: Plato: The Man and His Dialogues: Earlier Period by W. K. C. Guthrie is a monumental milestone of modern classical history, historical philology, and philosophical exegesis. Widely recognized as the definitive English-language reference guide to ancient Greek thought, this volume delivers a meticulous biographical and historical reconstruction of Plato's intellectual development within his historic Hellenic context. Volume IV focuses exclusively on the critical formative phases of Plato's career, charting his trajectory from the immediate aftermath of Socrates' execution through his middle period. The monograph contains exhaustive, dedicated exegetical analyses of the early Socratic dialogues—including the Protagoras , Meno , Gorgias , and Euthydemus —before providing an extensive, comprehensive commentary on the textual architecture, metaphysical frameworks, and socio-political arguments of the Republic . Backed by rigorous textual footnotes, extensive cross-referencing to the original Greek source materials, complete indexical pathways, and an expansive specialized bibliography, this text remains an essential resource for classicists, historical theologians, and serious students of ancient philosophy.
