About This Book

"In original readings of the Republic, the Protagoras, the Phaedo, and the Symposium, Ranasignhe uncovers the profound literary and thematic unity of each work and shows new connections among the dialogues.

From this re-reading, Ranasinghe proposes new answers to such perennial problems as the invalidity of the four proofs of the soul's immortality in the Phaedo, the draconian nature of the perfect regime described in the Republic, and the nature of Socrates' dalliance with Alcibiades in the Symposium."--BOOK JACKET.
