Antoni Bosch-Veciana and Josep Monserrat-Molas (eds.), Philosophy and Dialogue. Studies on Plato's Dialogues. Vol. II. "Akademia, 6", Barcelona: Barcelonesa d'Edicions – Societat Catalana de Filosofia (IEC), 2010, 183 p.ISBN [Barcelonesa d’Edicions]: 978-84-86887-76-6ISBN [IEC]: 978-84-9965-003-6The present volume brings together studies on Plato from all over the world and, we propose, reinforces that particular notion of dialogue in the often difficult but invariably gratifying interaction between readers and texts. The gathering together of hermeneutic models offering contrastable rather than merely disparate views is essential to Platonic exegesis and hermeneutics. In Philosophy &#38; Dialogue, we hope to have opened up a further stretch of the field where Platonic dialogue can inform Platonic affairs.ContentsIntroduction (Antoni Bosch-Veciana; Josep Monserrat-Molas)[1] Two Figures of Platonic Hermeneutics: The Wealthy Young Man and the Wall (Jordi Sales-Coderch - Professor of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Barcelona)[2] Plato’s Use of Irony (Samuel Scolnicov - Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and Philosophy of Education at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)[3] Glaucon’s Challenge .
