About this title

From the Publisher

The second volume in the Prometheus Trust's Thomas Taylor
Series, this is a quality hardback, sewn, and bound in purple library
buckram with gold blocking. The Prometheus Trust has produced all of the
writings and translations of Thomas Taylor in this classic series, often
adding many useful cross references, standard line numbering, and
explanatory notes. The Series presents the works of Taylor in a clear
modern typeface, and is not a poor quality facsimile editon.

The translator, Thomas Taylor (1858-1835), should be considered as one of
the giants of western philosophy - certainly no modern translator has been
so immersed in thought of ancient Platonic philosophy. He was, it is said,
"a scholar and a mystic" and not only provided the backbone to the American
transcendentalist school, but also inspired the whole English romantic
movement.
