Plato on Knowledge and Reality

"A complete and unified account of Plato''s epistemology . . . scholarly, historically sensitive, and philosophically sophisticated. Above all it is sensible. . . . White''s strength is that he places Plato''s preoccupation in careful historical perspective, without belittling the intrinsic difficulties of the problems he tackled. . . . White''s project is to find a continuous argument running through Plato''s various attacks on epistemological problems. No summary can do justice to his remarkable success." --Ronald B. De Sousa, University of Toronto, in Phoenix
