About this product

Product Information

This 1995 study investigates how Plato 'invented' the discipline of philosophy. In order to define and legitimise philosophy, Dr Nightingale maintains, Plato had to match it against genres of discourse that had authority and currency in democratic Athens.

Reviews
'... [a] brilliantly suggestive book, giving us new ways of locating the dialogues in their 'socio-political' context, and of thinking about Plato as a philosophical writer.' Phronesis, 'The merits of Nightingale's book are considerable. It deals with many questions of language and discourse that are dear to postmodernists, but it treats them with clarity which an analytic philosopher will appreciate.' Review of Metaphysics, "This fascinating study sheds new light on the old puzzle: despite his notorious attack on poetry, Plato was a literary genius. Nightingale does not simply explore literary aspects of Plato's writings, however; she articulates deep structural and thematic relations between the dialogues and the alien literary genres of tragedy, lyric, and comedy." Choice, '… [a] brilliantly suggestive book, giving us … ways of locating the dialogues in their 'socio-political' context, and of thinking about Plato as a philosophical writer.' Phronesis, "The merits of Nightingale's book are considerable. It deals with many questions of language and discourse that are dear to postmodernists, but it treats them with clarity which an analytic philosopher will appreciate." Joseph A. Novak, Review of Metaphysics, '... [a] brilliantly suggestive book, giving us ... ways of locating the dialogues in their 'socio-political' context, and of thinking about Plato as a philosophical writer.'Phronesis, ‘The merits of Nightingale’s book are considerable. It deals with many questions of language and discourse that are dear to postmodernists, but it treats them with clarity which an analytic philosopher will appreciate.’Review of Metaphysics, '... [a] brilliantly suggestive book, giving us ... ways of locating the dialogues in their 'socio-political' context, and of thinking about Plato as a philosophical writer.' Phronesis, "Andrea Nightingale's fine book on Plato and the 'construct' of philosophy is everywhere responsive to the contingency of philosophical discourse....this work thus provides essential philological insights into the distinctions between philosophy and its rival forms of discourse (including poetry and rhetoric) at a moment when those boundaries first came to be demarcated in an explicit and systematic way." Philosophy of Literature, ‘… [a] brilliantly suggestive book, giving us … ways of locating the dialogues in their ‘socio-political’ context, and of thinking about Plato as a philosophical writer.’Phronesis, 'The merits of Nightingale's book are considerable. It deals with many questions of language and discourse that are dear to postmodernists, but it treats them with clarity which an analytic philosopher will appreciate.'Review of Metaphysics

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A. Fantastic price. Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected. Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
