Synopsis
Excerpt from Introductions to the Dialogues of Plato The apparently unfinished state in which the present work comes before the public requires some explanation. The Author of the following Introductions died in the year 1834, having then completed the translation, into German, of all the Dialogues the Introductions to which are here given. It was his intention to have published the whole of the works of Plato upon this plan; and we have thus to regret the loss of Introductions to the Timsaeus, the Critias, the Laws, and all those smaller and spurious pieces not found in the Appendices to the first and second of the three parts into which Schleiermacher divided the Platonic works. The German translation, moreover, is furnished with various notes, critical and explanatory; a circumstance which I consider it necessary to mention, as the reader of these introductions will find in them occasional allusions to those notes. Such as referred immediately to passages in the Introductions themselves will be found at the end of the volume.

For upon these points there is 'not onlymuch to explain more accurately than has been hitherto done, and some quite new matter to investigate, but there may perhaps still be questions to throw out, which, though to the professor in these subjects they must be anything but indifferent, have, however, up to the present time, been as good as not thought of at all. But to pursue in connexion what is new and ambiguous in such investi-s gations, would not be adapted to this place; and some particulars even in this province, whether in the way Of illustration, or Of suspicion tending to confute what has been hitherto assumed, are better by all means to remain reserved for the particular places to which they refer. And what is common and well known is, moreover, pertinently set forth in the works of German writers illustrative Of the history of that period Of philosophy, as far as is absolutely necessary to prepare the way for the reading of the Platonic writings, so as not to grope about in the dark, and thus completely to miss, from first to last, the right point Of View for the understanding and estimation Of them. For these writings are through out full Of clear and covert references to almost every thing, both earlier and cotemporary. And in like mana ner, also, whoever does not possess a competent know ledge of the deficient state of the language for philo sophical purposes, to feel where and how Plato is cramped by it, and where he himself laboriouslv extends its grasp, . Must necessarily misunderstand his author, and that, for the most part, in the most remarkable passages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
