Ascent To The Good: The Reading Order Of Plato’S Dialogues From Symposium To Republic

This study reconsiders Plato's "Socratic" dialogues--Charmides, Laches, Lysis, Euthydemus, Gorgias, and Meno--as parts of an integrated curriculum. By privileging reading order over order of composition, a Platonic pedagogy teaching that the Idea of the Good is a greater object of philosophical concern than what benefits the self is spotlighted.
