This article challenges Quentin Skinner's claim that a belief in the importance of studying the historical context of classical texts is incompatible with the belief that we can learn timeless truths from them. The author uses a study of Plato to show that political philosophers adapt their writings to their immediate audience as well as address posterity. He contends that a study of the historical context of a work is necessary for distinguishing its timely and timeless aspects and developing a deeper appreciation of the latter
