It's been said that all philosophy is a commentary on Plato. I don't know if that's true or not, but I know he's considered the greatest philosopher of all time. I'm sorry to say that I've read more about him than I've read his own work. Fortunately, Strathern has done the hard job already..
As with the other books in this series, this is very well-written, packing a lot of information in a very small package. I'm always impressed by his ability to condense a person's life and works into 90-odd pages, and I recommend it.
