About this product
Product Information
This volume brings together Seth Benardete's studies of Hesiod, Homer, and Greek tragedy, eleven Platonic dialogues, and Aristotle's Metaphysics . The Argument of the Action spans four decades of Seth Benardete's work, documenting its impressive range. Benardete's philosophic reading of the poets and his poetic reading of the philosophers share a common ground, guided by the key he found in the Platonic dialogue: probing the meaning of speeches embedded in deeds, he uncovers the unifying intention of the work by tracing the way it unfolds through a movement of its own. Benardete's original interpretations of the classics are the fruit of this discovery of the "argument of the action."
