This edited volume brings together fourteen works, eleven of which are based on papers presented at the conference entitled Framing the Dialogues: How to Read Openings and Closures in Plato, which took place in December 2015 at the University of Cyprus. The remaining three chapters were written ad hoc in order to broaden the views on the topic discussed in said academic meeting. In this sense, one of the virtues of the volume is that this distinction between the papers originally presented at the conference and those added later is imperceptible to the reader, since all the contributions share the same analytical approach: the consideration of the frameworks that Plato creates in his dialogues as fundamental elements for the understanding of the author’s philosophical message. Although the editors explicitly state that there was no search for unification or a generalized thematic approach on their part, the result is striking for its high degree of internal consistency.
