In Plato's "Letters", Ariel Helfer provides to readers, for the first time, a highly literal translation of the Letters, complete with extensive notes on historical context and issues of manuscript transmission. His analysis presents a necessary perspective for readers who wish to study Plato's Letters as a work of Platonic philosophy. Centuries of debate over the provenance and significance of Plato's Letters have led to the common view that the Letters is a motley collection of jewels and scraps from within and without Plato's literary estate. In a series of original essays, Helfer describes how the Letters was written as a single work, composed with a unity of purpose and a coherent teaching, marked throughout by Plato's artfulness and insight and intended to occupy an important place in the Platonic corpus. Viewed in this light, the Letters is like an unusual epistolary novel, a manner of semifictional and semiautobiographical literary-philosophic experiment, in which Plato sought to provide his most demanding readers with guidance in thinking more deeply about the meaning of his own career as a philosopher, writer, and political advisor. Plato's "Letters" not only defends what Helfer calls the "literary unity thesis" by reviewing the scholarly history pertaining to the Platonic letters but also brings out the political philosophic lessons revealed in the Letters. As a result, Plato's "Letters" recovers and rehabilitates what has been until now a minority view concerning the Letters, according to which this misunderstood Platonic text will be of tremendous new importance for the study of Platonic political philosophy.

Excerpt from The Authorship of the Platonic Epistles The present condition of the prbblem is stated in my general introduction. The plan of this essay is to treat each Epistle, as far as possible, separately - a necessity of criticism which cannot be said to have been wholly observed by previous writers. A considerable amount of my argument necessarily consists in the upholding or refuting of the arguments of others, but I have endeavoured not to carry this to excess.

An excerpt of a review from The Classical Review, Volume 28: Although many foreign scholars, since the days of Ast nearly a century ago, have written at length both for and against the genuineness of the so-called Epistles of Plato, our English Platonists and historians of Classical literature have conspired to ignore the question. It would be hard to point to anything in English which attempts to handle the matter seriously, with the exception of some pages in Grote's History and in Mr. Richards' Platonica. Hence the very careful and thoroughgoing examination of the whole subject which Mr. Hackforth offers in the volume before us fills a real gap, and deserves, if only on that account, a grateful welcome from all students of Classics. The most important of the more modern criticisms of the Epistles are those by Raeder, Ritter and R. Adam; and the present work is largely based on these, especially in regard to linguistic statistics. Mr. Hackforth's method is to deal with the Epistles one by one, giving a summary of the contents of each, and then passing on to consider critical questions as to linguistic affinities, date, objections to authenticity, etc. At the end of his opening chapter ('General Introduction,' p. 34) he thus states his conclusions: ' iii., vii. and viii. I believe to be Platonic beyond all reasonable doubt: iv. and xiii. show evidence of authenticity only next to these: ix., x. and xi. must be left doubtful, chiefly because of their brevity: while i., ii., v., vi., xii. are unquestionably spurious.' By far the most interesting of the letters is, of course, the seventh, and those who regard it as genuine will be glad to find Mr. Hackforth supporting their view; but I, for one, doubt whether I could ever persuade myself to father on Plato what I must still regard — pace Mr. Hackforth — as an intolerable mishmash. And I should refuse to be bullied into changing my mind by such epithets as 'subjective' and 'sentimental.' Nonetheless, what Mr. Hackforth writes in explanation and defence of the 'philosophical digression' — as well as the other digressions—in Ep. vii. , and his ingenious imaginations as to the state of mind of Dion's party in 353-2 B.C., deserve careful consideration and may even carry conviction to less prejudiced minds.
