Brann, Kalkavage, and Salem have provided all the tools one needs--short of a knowledge of ancient Greek--to undertake in-depth study of this enormously important, complex, and fascinating dialogue."

Review "This will be the preferred edition of Platos Statesman for teachers and students who are serious not only about reading the text in good translation, but also about working through its arguments." -- Austin Gish, College of the Holy Cross "Having taught Platos dialogues in my classes over the past forty-three years to upper level undergraduates, I can especially appreciate the value of this new edition of Platos Statesman. The three translators have paid very close attention to the amazing fecund versatility of the Greek text, producing a translation that is as accurate and lively as possible and the best currently available for classroom use. The interpretative essay is unique in its highlighting of all of the issues that a thoughtful reader should be led to consider concerning this work. As has been the case with other works by these translators, the glossary leads any Greek-less reader as close as possible to the interconnections of the major words that sustain the flow and eddies of this perennially fascinating work." -- Donald Lindenmuth, Pennsylvania State University "All serious students of Plato will want to obtain this book. Brann, Kalkavage, and Salem have provided all the tools one needs--short of a knowledge of ancient Greek -- to undertake in-depth study of this enormously important, complex, and fascinating dialogue." -- Jacob Howland, University of Tulsa Long Description This edition of Martin Ostwalds revised version of J.

Excerpt from Book Socrates : I really owe you a big debt of thanks, Theodorus, for my getting to know Theaetetus, along with getting to know the stranger as well. Theodorus : And soon, Socrates, youll owe triple that, once theyve worked out the statesman and the philosopher for you. Socrates : Come now, is that how were going to say weve heard it put, my dear Theodorus, by the one mightiest at calculations and geometrical matters? Theodorus : How so, Socrates? Socrates : Because you set down each of the men as of equal worth, though in honor they stand farther apart from one another than accords with any proportion in your art.
