Recenzii

'Voula Tsouna's welcome new edition of Plato's Charmides deserves to become the go-to book on this brilliant but too often marginalized dialogue. From the synoptic level all the way down to that of textual fine detail, she combines sensitive adjudication of existing interpretations, analytic subtlety, a keen eye for intertextuality, and a series of fine-tuned responses to the human interactions which frame and carry forward the dialogical narrative.' David Sedley, Laurence Professor of Ancient Philosophy Emeritus, University of Cambridge
'Written with an accessible clarity, Tsouna weaves together a comprehensive account of both the arguments and the dramatic action of this difficult dialogue, situating it in broader philosophical and political contexts. With all this, she offers an original and creative reading of the dialogue as a whole.' Melissa Lane, Class of 1943 Professor of Politics, Princeton University
