Plato and the Power of Images is the third and final volume in a series that also includes Plato and the Poets (2011) and Plato and Myth (2012). It brings together twelve essays originally "presented in draft form at the pair of conferences held in the fall of 2013 at Bryn Mawr College in the United States1 and in the spring of 2014 at the Université Catholique de Louvain and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium." Its contributors "offer various perspectives on the ways Plato has used images, and the ways we could, or should, understand their status as images." The first six papers focus on dialogues other than the Republic, the second six on the Republic itself, which is most often associated with Plato's infamous ambivalence toward the use of images, a leitmotif that resurfaces several times throughout the volume.

Plato is well known both for the harsh condemnations of images and image-making poets that appear in his dialogues and for the vivid and intense imagery that he himself uses in his matchless prose. Through their resemblance to true reality, images have the power to move their viewers to action and to change themselves, but because of their distance from true reality, that power always remains problematic. Two recurrent problems addressed here are how an image resembles what it represents and how to avoid mistaking that image for what it represents. Plato and the Power of Images comprises twelve chapters on the ways Plato has used images, and the ways we could, or should, understand their status as images.
