A series of four talks
1—Introduction by W. K. C. Guthrie
Professor of Ancient Philosophy in the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Peterhouse

It has been equally appropriately described as ' a dramatically disguised essay on the True, the Good, and the Beautiful.' How do such apparently distant themes find place in one coherent work? The\talks in this series seek an explanation. -
