The updated and original essays in the second edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Plato\u003c\/em\u003e provide in-depth discussions of a variety of topics and dialogues, all serving several functions at once: they survey the current academic landscape; express and develop the authors' own views; and situate those views within a range of alternatives. The result is a useful state-of-the-art reference to the person many consider the most important philosophical thinker in history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis second edition of he Oxford Handbook of Plato differs in two main ways from the first edition. First, six leading scholars of ancient philosophy have contributed entirely new chapters: Hugh Benson on the \u003cem\u003eApology\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCrito\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eEuthyphro\u003c\/em\u003e; James Warren on the \u003cem\u003eProtagoras\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eGorgias\u003c\/em\u003e; Lindsay Judson on the \u003cem\u003eMeno\u003c\/em\u003e; Luca Castagnoli on the \u003cem\u003ePhaedo\u003c\/em\u003e; Susan Sauvé Meyer on the \u003cem\u003eLaws\u003c\/em\u003e; and David Sedley on Plato's theology. This new edition therefore covers both dialogues and topics in more depth than the first edition did. Secondly, most of the original chapters have been revised and updated, some in small, others in large, ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGail Fine\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emerita at Cornell University, Visiting Professor of Ancient Philosophy at Oxford University, and Senior Research Fellow Emerita at Merton College, Oxford.
