In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

279 Selected Bibliography The following bibliography is very limited and largely contemporary. Although most of the works listed are more professional and more technical—and less sympathetic to much of Plato’s metaphysics—than mine, a few of them shed light on my fundamental concerns, and occasionally lend support. Category A I begin (Category A) with books that offer a broad conspectus of the primary interests of most English-language commentators on Plato. Several of them (especially Fine’s Plato) provide extensive bibliographies of both editions and secondary studies. They also offer the further advantage of enabling graduate students and scholars to write sophisticated comments on Plato without rereading his text. Annas, Julia, and Christopher J. Rowe, eds.
