A Book about Plato is not easy for a Platonist to write. Since, as the author shows, part of Plato's own practice was to intake his dialogues themselves concrete examples of the problems they discuss, a consistent Platonic book about Plato's philosophy must also be a philosophic contribution to contemporary Platonism. Further, since Platonists distrust lectures and didactic presentations, any such book, even if it both is and is about Platonic philosophy, will misrepresent it unless it can suggest the form of a conversation in which the reader shares ideas and investigations with the author as we talk to Plato.
