Guardians on Trial: The Reading Order of Plato's Dialogues from Euthyphro to Phaedo

By William H F Altman and William H. F. Altman

In this book, William H. F. Altman argues that it is not order of composition but reading order that makes Euthyphro, Apology of Socrates, Crito, and Phaedo "late dialogues," and shows why Plato's decision to interpolate the notoriously "late" Sophist and Statesman between Euthyphro and Apology deserves more respect from interpreters.
