Abstract

One reason for this is that Socrates only talks to one person at a time, and Marshall's approaches are actually very sensitive to how Socrates affects his particular interlocutor. Finally, a somewhat frustrating consequence of Marshall's claims that he is not trying to get Plato right and that it is difficult to prove that one view is superior to another is that I lost some interest in looking closely into his interpretations of Plato's texts. I am not always in agreement with Marshall's interpretation of Plato, but I think his readings are sensible and the way he tweaks scenarios and discusses possible interpretations of why Socrates behaves the way he does provide useful insights.
