Plato and the Elements of Dialogue focuses on the structural features of Plato's writings and tries to show how he uses these features in provocative and interesting ways. Instead of focusing merely on why Plato wrote dialogues, this book tries to discover and disclose what the dialogues are, positioning it as a complement to the already large concerns about Plato's use of the dialogue form.
