Excerpt from The New Plato: Or Socrates Redivivus The reading of Plato is, like that of the Bible, only in a smaller way, indulged in by all supposedly educated Americans during their University days and remembered only in form. Indeed, the Bible has this advantage over Plato: it is read publicly every Sunday, so that snatches of its verbal grandeur must of necessity percolate through the minds of some of our more prominent citizens who have a reputation to maintain and therefore consider church-going in the nature of a necessity. But Plato stands unopened on the bookshelves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The study of Plato's dialogues has traditionally oscillated between two paradigms: one that portrays the dialogues as treatises expounding doctrines and one that sees them as purely skeptical, rhetorical, or literary. This collection of new essays by twelve noted Plato scholars illustrates the fruitfulness of breaking away from those paradigms, which have divided Platonic scholarship and led it to a number of dead ends. While the essays are diverse in their approaches, each seeks to find a 'third way' to understand Plato, reading him as neither a dogmatist nor a skeptic but as a philosopher capable of reconciling the content and form of his writings.

From the PREFACE. THE reading of Plato is, like that of the Bible, only in a smaller way, indulged in by all supposedly educated Americans during their University days and remembered only in form. Indeed, the Bible has this advantage over Plato: it is read publicly every Sunday, so that snatches of its verbal grandeur must of necessity percolate through the minds of some of our more prominent citizens who have a reputation to maintain and therefore consider church-going in the nature of a necessity. But Plato stands unopened on the bookshelves. It might be well occasionally in place of one of our modem sermons to substitute the reading of one of Plato's dialogues. Socrates, as Emerson pointed out, is often tiresome. Yet he has the advantage of being generally instructive. Every reader of Plato is struck by his moderness. He never grows old. He is always of To-day. It was this which has led me to apply the form of his dialogues -- familiar to students in Jowett's translation -- to some phases of our modern life. In writing this book I have made no attempt to be serious. It would be quite proper (and usual) for me to say at this point, that if this volume should lead my reader to take up once again the study of Plato, then I should feel that it has not been written in vain. But even at the risk of disappointing a vast multitude, I shall not say this expected word. For the truth is, there is no reason why I should desire any one to read Plato. No modern author should encourage in any way the sale of old books. It is distinctly bad business. On the contrary, I should prefer, with due regard, of course, to that true modesty which no author should wholly dispense with, to press some of the advantages of this book upon the hesitating reader. The type is purposely made so large that it can be easily read after dark on most of our principal railroad systems. It is not too long to be fatiguing, and, indeed, may be tossed aside at any point without regard to the author's feelings. It has a mildly intellectual atmosphere, greatly in its favor and highly desirable; for example, at house parties. It is pleasantly dialectic in tone and contains no morbid allusions. It is not too humorous (a phrase which I hereby give the book reviewers leave to quote in place of the usual set criticism) , and it has this grand quality: that what satire it may contain never applies to the reader, but always to someone else; so that everyone may feel perfectly safe to read it.

New Essays on Plato assembles nine original papers on the language and thought of the Athenian philosopher. The collection encompasses issues from the Apology to the Laws and includes discussions of topics in ethics, political theory, psychology, epistemology, ontology, physics and metaphysics, and ancient literary criticism. The contributions by an international team of scholars represent a spectrum of diverse traditions and approaches, and offer new solutions to a selection of specific problems. Themes include the Happiness and Nature of the Philosopher-Kings, Law and Justice, the Tripartition of the Soul, Appearance and Belief, Conditions of Recognition, Ousia or What Something Is, the Reality of Change and Changelessness, Time and Eternity, and Aristotle on Plato.
