Please note that the 2nd edition of this title is available until October 2005 (PB: 087220538X; HB: 0872205398). The rich selection of superbly translated and edited Presocratic fragments and testimonia, dialogues of Plato, and selections from Aristotle that has made Readings in Ancient Greek Philosophy the preeminent anthology for the teaching of ancient Greek philosophy is now even richer: G M A Grube's translation of Plato's Phaedo and Alexander Nehamas and Paul Woodruff's translation of Plato's Symposium are now both included in their entirety; in addition, the Third Edition features new translations by C D C Reeve of Plato's Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito.
