About the book >.>.> Plato 2: Ethics, Politics, Religion and the Soul, edited by Gail Fine, is a key volume in the Oxford Readings in Philosophy series, which compiles significant recent writings in major philosophical areas. This collection features selections primarily from periodicals, offering access to philosophical discussions that may not be readily available to university students or general readers. Each essay is accompanied by an introductory piece from the editor, contextualising the selected writings and the philosophical questions they address. Additionally, a selective bibliography is included to guide readers toward further exploration of the subject matter.This volume focuses on pivotal aspects of Plato's philosophy, including ethics, politics, religion, and the concept of the soul. It encompasses essays exploring themes such as virtue, knowledge, and happiness; the relationship between justice and happiness; the nature of pleasure; Platonic love; and feminist interpretations of Plato. Furthermore, it discusses the ideally just state, the contrasts between democracy and totalitarianism, and the soul's role in moral motivation.Published concurrently with its companion volume, Plato 1: Metaphysics and Epistemology, both works compile influential articles discussing fundamental topics in Plato’s thought over the past thirty years. Through this collection, readers engage with critical discussions that shape contemporary understanding of Plato, as presented by leading scholars in the field. The volume serves as a rich resource for those interested in depth and breadth of Plato’s philosophical contributions, making complex ideas accessible to a broader audience. (SP)
