184 TAY

Summary: I hope two classes of readers may find their account in this book-' Honors students' in our Universities, and readers with philosophical interest, but no great store of Greek scholarship. What both classes most need in a work about Plato is to be told just what Plato has to say about the problems of thought and life, and how he says it. What either needs is to be told what some contemporary thinks Plato should have said. The sense of the greatest thinker of the ancient world ought to to be trimmed to suit the tastes of a modern neo-Katian, neo-Hegelian, or neo-realist. Again, to understand Plato's thought we must see it in the right historical perspective.
