It goes on to offer a new way to  group the dialogues, based on important facts in the lives and  philosophical practices of Socrates - the main speaker in most  of Plato's dialogues - and of Plato himself. Both sides of  Debra Nails's arguments  deserve close attention: the negative side,  which exposes a great deal of diversity in a field that often claims  to have achieved a consensus; and the positive side, which insists  that we must attend to what we know of these philosophers' lives and  practices, if we are to make a serious attempt to understand why Plato  wrote the way he did, and why his writings seem to depict different  philosophies and even different approaches to philosophizing. \u003cbr\u003e  From the \u003cem\u003ePreface\u003c\/em\u003e by Nicholas D.
