Plato: A Very Short Introduction

Here, Julia Annas covers Plato's style of writing, and delves into discussions of love and philosophy, his attitude towards women and towards homosexual love. Finally, she explores Plato's claim that virtue is sufficient for happiness and touches on his arguments for the immorality of the soul and his ideas about the nature of the universe.

Julia Annas is Regents Professor of Philosophy at the University of Arizona.
