Ascent to the Beautiful: Plato the Teacher and the Pre-Republic Dialogues from Protagoras to Symposium

By William H. F. Altman

This book is a study of Plato's most elementary dialogues, arranged in relation to Reading Order as opposed to order of composition. Beginning with the theatrical Protagoras and reaching a mountaintop in Symposium, the dialogues between them--Alcibiades, Lovers, Hippias, Ion, and Menexenus--introduce the student to both philosophy and Platonism.
