Who Is Phaedrus?

Philosophy

“Just when one thinks nothing more can be added to the rich literature on Plato's Phaedrus, along comes this book by Marshell Bradley. This is an exceptionally thorough and brilliant analysis of the historical and philosophical figure Phaedrus. Meticulous historical research and textual analyses, combined with an extremely rich depiction of the Greek political context, all work to give us an original, new reading of a familiar Platonic figure.”
