Introducing Plato begins by explaining how philosophers like Socrates and Pythagoras influenced Plato's thought. It provides a clear account of Plato's puzzling theory of knowledge, and explains how this theory then directed his provocative views on politics, ethics and individual liberty.
It couples Plato's accomplishments with vivid clarity and historical facts during his life time that provide relevant context. Even more interesting is the author and illustrator take the reader beyond his life and explain the philosopher's legacy. They touch upon those inspired by Plato to expand upon his work, but also critics of Plato. Although I studied Plato before, this book provided me with some facts I didn't know and clarified some things I didn't previously understand.
