Maieusis

"Maieusis pays tribute to the highly influential work of Myles Burnyeat, whose contributions to the study of ancient philosophy have done much to enhance the profile of the subject a round the world. What is distinctive about this work is his is his capacity to deepen our understanding of the relation between ancient and modern thought, and to combine the best of contemporary philosophy - its insights as well as its rigour - with a deep sensitivity to classical texts." "Nineteen of the world's leading experts in the field examine a wide range of topics in ancient philosophy, the different aspects of eros in the Symposium, Republic, and Phaedrus, the Phaedo's arguments for immortality, wars and warriors in Plato, and the cave allegory in the Republic."--Jacket.
