Reviews
Virtue in the Cave advances a distinctive, original, and provocative account of Plato's Meno. -- J. Dybikowski, University of British Columbia
Virtue in the Cave is a groundbreaking book that deserves careful reading and reflection, and will stimulate much fruitful discussion. -- Mary Louise Gill, Brown University
Like Weiss's earlier Socrates Dissatisfied (1998), this volume challenges some of the orthodoxies of Anglo-American Plato scholarship. It is holistic, clear, and coherent. Unlike many other practitioners of the Socratic philosophy approach to Plato's dialogues, Weiss is also sensitive to literary and dramatic nuance. -- Gerald A. Press, Hunter College; CUNY Graduate Center
Weiss persuades me that the slave boy story is designed to be attractive to Meno, who wants virtue to be teachable. -- Kenneth C. Blanchard, Jr., 2010 * The Journal Of The Review Of Politics *
This is an excellent book which must be read by everyone with a serious interest in Plato. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
