Plato and Platonism reviews the natures and limits of Platonic interpretation. Students, academics and researchers will find that Moravcsik's careful and rigorous analysis offers an understanding of what Platonism in our times would have been like. The book leads us to an appreciation of genuine Platonism, rarely discussed today.

Julius Moravcsik was educated at Harvard and Oxford and has been Professor of Philosophy at Stanford University since 1968. He was formerly president of the American Philosophical Association and the Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy, and he is the author of three books and numerous articles on ancient Greek philosophy, philosophy of language, and various aspects of value theory.
