Studies in Plato's Metaphysics II is a selection of readings which is meant as an introduction to the study of Plato. An earlier version, Studies in Plato's Metaphysics, dealt with essays ranging from 1936 to 1965. The aim here is broader: to go back to the nineteenth century and to move forward with some of the main contributions to the scholarly literature on Plato. The hope is to redirect the student's interest in issues of Platonic metaphysics and epistemology.
