Platonic Ethics, Old and New

Klappentext "It goes without saying that Annas writes with the elegance and lucidity which characterize all her work, and that her mastery of the Platonic corpus and of the wide range of ancient commentators ... is total.... I regard the book as a milestone in modern Platonic studies. I have little doubt that it will have a permanent effect on Platonic scholarship, in causing writers in the analytic tradition to regard the Middle Platonists as people to be taken seriously in the search for understanding of Plato". -- The Philosophical Quarterly Zusammenfassung Julia Annas here offers a fundamental reexamination of Plato's ethical thought by investigating the Middle Platonist perspective, which emerged at the end of Plato's own school, the Academy.
