Usually ships with delivery confirmation. Where available, a photo of the actual cover has been provided instead of a stock photo. Condition description: Some typical used book wear to covers, a little bubbling along the right edge of the cover where the lamination has slightly come apart creating a little visual deterioration (maybe from being in a hot car), and also along the spine, but the cover still adheres overall, a few handwritten notes in blue pen, along with some pen underlining noted at the beginning of the book (about the 1st 1/3 of book). From the introduction: The eminent philosopher and classical scholar Alexander Nehamas presents here a collection of his most important essays on Plato and Socrates. The papers are unified in theme by the idea that Plato's central philosophical concern in metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics was to distinguish the authentic from the fake, the original from its imitations. In approach, the collection displays Nehamas's characteristic combination of analytical rigor and sensitivity to the literary form and dramatic effect of Plato's work. Together, the papers represent Nehamas's distinct and original contributions to scholarship on Plato and Socrates and serve as a comprehensive introduction to the thought of these two philosophers. *
