"Plato writes in a way that engages us in his argumentation. He also presents philosophical positions that the boldness with which they are expressed and their rich imagination rarely find a match. Plato scholars tend to emphasize one aspect of his work at the expense of the others. At times, it has been argued that he is only interested in discussing with the reader and not in presenting positive ideas. Other times, that he is a daring theoretician who advances dogmatically, disregarding argumentation. What is difficult - as well as beneficial - to keep in mind about Plato is that he is intensely interested in both bold ideas and argumentation, in a subtle way that is not easy to grasp without simplifying him. This book does not claim to cover all of Plato's ideas or provide a recipe for interpreting him; it aims more to introduce you to the study of Plato in a way that, hopefully, will make you want to persist in your acquaintance with him."
