Sintesi dell'editore
In this concise analysis, eminent Plato scholar A. E. Taylor examines the philosopher's theory of knowledge and doctrine of ideas; the ideal of the philosopher-king; the social system advocated in Republic; judgments on democracy; and belief in the immortality of the soul.
Also considered: Plato's relationship with his master, Socrates; contribution to the idea of university education; attack on art; abstention from public life; anticipation of Copernicus. Taylor also mentions historical misunderstandings of the one he deems the most original and influential of all philosophers.

Nasal bore
I've listened to many books on ancient history for hours and hours on end but I cannot listen this accent any longer. The information seemed good but the nasally boring monotonous sound of this guy's voice did me in.

Eloquent n remarkably deep for short book. Encouraged me to seek out other classicists of bygone era.

Bravo bravo
The text, the performance are simply one of the finest to be found on here.
Though the sound quality was fine but not great, it is absolutely audible.
The book serves as quick and convenient way into the world of Plato.

pompous
The narration and content are extremely pompous, the funny part is these two, smarter than anyone, people routinely throughout the reading, misuse or mispronounce words. I actually was more amused by the clamoring to seem intelligent by both the narrator and author, they failed.

Plato in a nutshell
I enjoyed the brevity. A primer on Plato. The speaker was pleasant to listen to.

Plato's mindset without the mythos
If you're interested in knowing Plato's philosophy & who he was in his earlier years without the mythos/legends then this is the right book for you. The audio can be sometimes quiet but I don't fault it because of the year of publishing. Having Frederick Davidson narrating this book was a good choice and made it easy to listen too.
Overall a good short book and a nice slice of History of Ancient Greece.

Highly enlightening
The mind of Pluto is a marvel. Few persons in all of history have had the same impact in how people reason & rationalize, like Pluto did.

Not so bad
The narration is not as bad as people are making out. He has a very posh British accent, some may find this grating. The information itself is very interesting. I almost let the rating put me off it, but it is a good and succinct work relating the key points of Plato's philosophy
