Plato and the Power of Images is the third and final volume in a series that also includes Plato and the Poets (2011) and Plato and Myth (2012). It brings together twelve essays originally "presented in draft form at the pair of conferences held in the fall of 2013 at Bryn Mawr College in the United States1 and in the spring of 2014 at the Université Catholique de Louvain and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium." Its contributors "offer various perspectives on the ways Plato has used images, and the ways we could, or should, understand their status as images." The first six papers focus on dialogues other than the Republic, the second six on the Republic itself, which is most often associated with Plato's infamous ambivalence toward the use of images, a leitmotif that resurfaces several times throughout the volume.
