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
