Understanding Plato is the first book in a series on the classical philosophers. The series is designed for beginning and intermediate philosophy students who would like more depth than they would ordinarily get from books that give only outlines of the philosopher's thoughts and theories. Each book focuses on both content and philosophical method. Each chapter breaks down arguments of the philosopher into understandable parts, showing how philosophers reaches their conclusions and how they defend against possible objections. Each chapter concludes with a set of questions for thought and discussion. Some of the questions are on topics that provide an excellent starting point for term papers. References to other books about the philosopher or the topic can be found at the end of the chapter, in footnotes, textboxes or at the back of the book.Understanding Plato is the first book in the series. It contains a complete discussion of four of the early Socratic dialogues (Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno) and Plato's longer and more famous work, The Republic. Other books in the Smart Student's Guide series are on John Locke's Second Treatise of Government, John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism and On Liberty, Immanuel Kant's Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals, and David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion.

First, it is refreshing to see an introductory philosophy text that is in no way "dumbed-down" to meet the supposed low comprehension and attention span of today's students. Professor Houlgate lays out arguments by premise and conclusion, calls attention to their structure and purpose, and challenges students to think about what they've read by posing concrete questions that require them to read the relevant text carefully. There's no room for them to spin airy speculations.Professor Houlgate does a good job of easily and usefully introducing broader philosophical concepts, such as the difference between induction and deduction, defining concepts by genus and species, hypothesis testing, and the analytic-synthetic distinction, in ways that illuminate what is going on in the classic text and put it into a larger context. This is in keeping with his stated goal of going beyond just teaching students to grasp the arguments in classic texts; he wants to lead them to understand the nature of the philosophic enterprise more generally.If I were still teaching, I'd consider adopting this book as a supplemental text, though I'd hope for a corrected edition.A.
