"This is clearly the definitive edition in English of the Platonic writingsIt replaces completely the Hamilton-Cairns collection. . . . The notes are at just the right level, and the index is very helpful. The translations are both readable and accurate. They are always reliable, and in most cases the best available. It is the one volume of Plato every student of philosophy will want at her or his side." --Michael D. Rohr, Rutgers University


"The most important publishing event in Platonic translation is the Complete Works edited by Cooper and Hutchinson. . . . Hackett has lavished great care in the production of this volume: fine India paper, elegant typography, sewn binding, and cloth boards. . . . It should be in every library and on the shelves of all lovers of Plato." --Steven J. Willett, Syllecta Classica


"The edition is a vast improvement over the Princeton/Bollingen edition, the former standard. Congratulations on a fine work!" --Christian K. Edemeyer, Columbia University


"It is hard to imagine how this English translation of Plato's Complete Works could be improved upon. A century may pass before it has a rival.  Its editors and translators deserve the highest praise." --David K. Glidden, University of California at Riverside
John M. Cooper is Henry Putnam University Professor of Philosophy, Princeton University.
