<br/><br/> "This third edition of The Great Conversation retains the distinctive features of the first two, representing major philosophers through extensive quotations set in a fairly rich cultural and intellectual context. It now contains, with the addition of  Crito, four complete works. I continue to take the "conversation" metaphor seriously, as shown by an even larger number of cross-references, both within the text and in foot notes. I still aim to tell the dramatic story of philosophy in a lively and engaging way, hoping to draw students into the conversatio."
