"Many will regard the new work as one of the better places to begin
their background reading on the ethics of
Plato....Recommended."--Choice
"Plato's Ethics is a model of how to enter into another's mind by
making full use of one's own. Reflective readers will gain many
insights into Plato's philosophy, and into the art of doing ancient
philosophy."--Ancient Philosophy
"...Plato's Ethics is an exceptionally coherent and cogent book.
Its arguments set a standard of clarity worthy of emulation by
champions and critics alike, and I suspect this book will appear as
a regular entry in bibliographies for some time,"--E.E. Benitez,
The Review of Metaphysics
"Plato's Moral Theory was one of the classic works of ancient
philosophy scholarship of this century and Plato's Ethics should be
at least as influential. Its clarity, rigor, and philosophical
sophistication and imagination are rarely matched even by the best
work in the history of philosophy."--The Philosophical Review
