The Being of the Beautiful collects Platos three dialogues, the Theaetetus, Sophist, and Statesmen, in which Socrates formulates his conception of philosophy while preparing for trial. Renowned classicist Seth Benardetes careful translations clearly illuminate the dramatic and philosophical unity of these dialogues and highlight Platos subtle interplay of language and structure. Extensive notes and commentaries, furthermore, underscore the trilogys motifs and relationships.The translations are masterpieces of literalness. . . . They are honest, accurate, and give the reader a wonderful sense of the Greek.-Drew A. Hyland, Review of Metaphysics
