It will appeal to scholars and advanced students interested in Plato, ancient philosophy, philosophical method, and the history of logic.

For Plato, philosophy is intricately linked to, or perhaps even synonymous with, dialectic. While this assertion is widely accepted, there exists limited consensus regarding the precise nature of Platonic dialectic. According to a prevailing viewpoint, it represents a method of inquiry that underwent a significant transformation, leading to a profound shift in its conceptualization. This shift resulted in a strong inclination for the term to encompass 'the ideal method, whatever that may be.' Consequently, most studies of Platonic dialectic tend to concentrate solely on one specific aspect of this method, which is believed to characterize a particular period in Plato's development.
This volume presents fresh perspectives on Platonic dialectic, offering a comprehensive and insightful exploration of this crucial aspect of Plato's philosophy. Comprising 13 chapters, the book aims to clarify the proper dialectical procedures that Plato considers essential. By examining the interconnections and relationships between these procedures and other facets of Plato's philosophy, such as ethics, psychology, and metaphysics, the chapters challenge the prevailing understanding of Plato's ideal of method.
New Perspectives on Platonic Dialectic will appeal to scholars and advanced students with a deep interest in Plato, ancient philosophy, philosophical method, and the history of logic. The book provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing discourse on Plato's thought and offers valuable insights into the complexities of his philosophical system.
