JANAWAY, C., Images of Excellence. Plato's Critique of the Arts. Oxford University Press, 1998. 236p. Paperback. Christopher Janaway ... strikes a fine balance between lucid exposition of the texts, explanation of standard and alternative views and relevant aesthetic theory, and his own interpretations, which grow out of this carefully cultivated ground ... Classicists will learn a great deal from Janaway about what philosophers do and how they do it ... Non-philosophers will also receive a clear and accessible introduction to the theory and history of aesthetics ... At the same time Janaway's philosophical analysis is at a highly specialized and sophisticated level ... this book makes a powerful statement of Plato's claim to importance in the area of aesthetic theory ... a stimulating, enlightening, highly intelligent, and well written book.
