Menon
This new German translation of Plato's Meno includes explanations of the arguments waged in the dialogue. It also discusses literary aspects, including elements that resemble comedy and the text's references to Sicilian authors. These references suggest that the work was written for an audience in Sicily, thus stimulating a re-evaluation of various positions that have been ascribed to this dialogue.
The Dialogues of Plato, Volume 4
Among Plato's later dialogues, the Parmenides is one of the most significant. Not only a document of profound philosophical importance in its own right, it also contributes to the understanding of Platonic dialogues that followed it, and it exhibits the foundations of the physics and ontology that Aristotle offered in his Physics and Metaphysics VII. In this book, R.E. Allen provides a superb translation of the Parmenides along with a structural …

Plato
Plato's Theaetetus and Sophist are two of his most important dialogues, and are widely read and discussed by philosophers for what they reveal about his epistemology and particularly his accounts of belief and knowledge. Although they form part of a single Platonic project, these dialogues are not usually presented as a pair, as they are in Christopher Rowe's new and lively translation. Offering a high standard of accuracy and readability, the tr…
