Notes

  1. On my reading of his argument, however, this statement goes to far. Marshall is often interested in how characters respond to Socrates and those responses open the door to Marshall’s suggestions about how Socratic protreptic could be more effective.

  2. The third and fourth chapters—which account for about half of the book—might have been best placed as an appendix. Those chapters provide an engaging and insightful overview of some key questions in Plato scholarship (like the assumptions that ground different approaches to Plato scholarship, the practicability of the kallipolis in Republic, and the value of the study of the history of philosophy generally). However, they somewhat awkwardly interrupt the three chapters devoted specifically to Marshall’s main concern, developing a theory of protreptic based on Plato’s dialogues.
