[Being and Logos is] a philosophical adventure of rare inspiration. . . . Its power to illuminate the text . . . , its ecumenicity of inspiration, its methodological rigor, its originality, and its philosophical profundity-all together make it one of the few philosophical interpretations that the philosopher will want to re-read along with the dialogues themselves. A superadded gift is the author's prose, which is a model of lucidity and grace." -International Philosophical Quarterly.                                         John Sallis's luminous reading of six major Platonic dialogues-Apology, Meno, Phaedrus, Cratylus, Republic, and Sophist-weaves discussion of dramatic and mythical aspects together with basic philosophical issues.Being and Logos fundamentally reorients our reading and understanding of the platonic dialogues.
