“In conclusion, I encourage serious students of Plato to read Turning Toward Philosophy This positive and fundamental project is provocative and generally successful. It will happily turn the reader of Platonic dialogues to the philosophical significance of their literary features. It should not—I hope—turn them away from their arguments.”
