EVANS, J.D.G., A Plato Primer. Acumen, Durham, 2010. IX,163p. Paperback. 'In a mere 143 pages the recently deceased1 J.D.G. Evans provides a critical summary of Plato's contributions to a variety of philosophical topics that is at once comprehensive and incisive. (...) In sum, then, this is a superb survey of Platonic thought from a mature scholar, demonstrating both range and concision. A Plato primer will take an intelligent and determined reader of Plato a long way in a short time towards grasping the shape of the debates, opened up by Plato, which have gone on to form the course of philosophy.' (CATHAL WOODS in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2011.01.17). € 17.50 (New) ISBN: 9781844652280
