Plato’s Many Devices Reviewed

Gerard Kuperus suggested that it might be a good idea to link to this review of the volume Gary Alan Scott edited entitled, Philosophy in Dialogue: Plato’s Many Devices. The review is by Rebecca Benson Cain.  In it she speaks very well of the work as a whole, which includes articles from a number of members of the Ancient Philosophy Society.

Check out Cain’s full review, which appears in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2009.04.71.
