書籍簡介

《柏拉圖對話錄：論友誼》最初出版於1979年，是第一本對《呂西斯》的英文長篇解讀，對這部經常被忽視的柏拉圖對話進行了全面分析和直譯。

大衞·博洛廷將《呂西斯》解釋為其本身就是一部重要的作品，並將其置於柏拉圖其他著作的背景中。他試圖表明，儘管蘇格拉底顯然未能發現什麼是朋友，但在《呂西斯》中出現了對友誼的一致理解。他的評論緊跟對話，他的解釋逐步展開，因為他是在對《呂西斯》本身進行詳細的總結。

博洛廷先生的翻譯抓住了《呂西斯》的俏皮和豐富的模糊性，以及它作為對話劇的有效性。他的書寫得精確而清晰，對政治哲學和古代哲學的學生應該是有用的。

Originally published in 1979, Plato's Dialogue on Friendship is the first book-length interpretation of the Lysis in English, offering both a full analysis and a literal translation of this frequently neglected Platonic dialogue.

David Bolotin interprets the Lysis as an important work in its own right and places it in the context of Plato's other writings. He attempts to show that despite Socrates' apparent failure to discover what a friend is, a coherent understanding of friendship emerges in the Lysis. His commentary follows the dialogue closely, and his interpretation unfolds gradually, as he is providing a detailed summary of the Lysis itself.

Mr. Bolotin's translation captures the playfulness and rich ambiguities of the Lysis and its effectiveness as conversational drama. His book, written with precision and clarity, should be useful to students of political philosophy and ancient philosophy.
