On Beauty and Measure features renowned philosopher John Sallis' commentaries on Plato's dialogues the
Symposium and the
Statesman. Drawn from two lecture courses delivered by Sallis, they represent his longest and most sustained engagement to date with either work.
Brilliantly original, Sallis's close readings of Plato's dialogues are grounded in the original passages and also illuminate the overarching themes that drive the dialogues.
