ThePhilebusis hard to reconcile with standard interpretations of Plato's philosophy and in this pioneering work Donald Davidson, seeks to take thePhilebusat face value and to reassess Plato's late philosophy in the light of the results. The author maintains that the approach to ethics in thePhilebusrepresents a considerable return to the methodology of the earlier dialogues. He emphasizes Plato's reversion to the Socratic elenchus and connects it with the startling reappearance of Socrates as the leading voice in thePhilebus. | Plato's Philebus by Donald Davidson, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
