In principle, then, one can follow and appreciate Gallop's careful notes without being able to read Plato's original text. But this is not simply an elementary introduction t||"The new translation is freer in some places making it more accessible to those encountering Plato for the first time. An essential book for those who desire an introduction to Platonic philosophy."
