Chapter Seven Conclusion
I commend this book as a good investigation into realities in Plato’s dialogues. — The Christian Humanist Podcast
Fritz makes an admirable case for the necessity of increased sensitivity to the extralogical elements of the dialogues. . . this volume makes a useful and insightful addition to the continuing debates surrounding Plato’s chosen mode of philosophical representation. We should justifiably be encouraged by Fritz to renew our acquaintance with the many colourful and nuanced characters and settings of Plato’s dialogues.— The Journal of Hellenic Studies
This book is at once a thoughtful analysis of character, time, and place as the “elements” of live dialogue and an illuminating discussion of the implications of such an analysis for our understanding of the philosophical significance of certain structural elements of Plato’s written representations of dialogue.— Mark Moes, Grand Valley State University
