In doing so I am drawing on a selection of texts…, sections of the Meno, Socrates and Meno grow increasingly frustrated with each other—Meno because he feels Socrates is bullying him out of his own beliefs, and Socrates because Meno doesn’t seem to be giving him the answers he wants.

Many people associate Plato with a few central doctrines that are advocated in his writings: The world that appears to our senses is in some way defective and filled with error, but there is a more real and perfect realm, populated by entities (called forms or ideas) that are eternal, changeless, and in some sense paradigmatic for the structure and character of the world presented to our senses.

Amidst the virtually endless deluge of publications on Plato, a deluge which continues to swell to worrying proportions because of superfluous repetition, Szlezák’s book stands out very strikingly through the originality of its perspective, through the consistent realization of a basic idea which is highly instructive for the subject-matter at hand and through the thoroughness of its examination of competing and above all of opposing ideas which are—with greater or lesser reason—sceptical as regards the new Plato paradigm. Against the second, I argue that Aristophanes’ speech contains a profoundly pessimistic account of eros.
