Plato

Francis M. Cornford

A reprint of the Routledge edition of 1935.

The Timaeus of Plato

Plato's Cosmology

Frances Macdonald Cornford

Studies the major teachings and influences of early Ionian science, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle

Before and After Socrates

This book falls into two parts: Thucydides Historicus and Thucydides Mythicus. In the first, Francis M. Cornford attempts to prove the inadequacy of Thucydides's account of the origins of the Peloponnesian War and develops a very different theory of its causes. In the second part he attempts to answer the question why Thucydides has told us so little about the War that we find accurate, consistent, or relevant.

Thucydides Mythistoricus

This edition of two masterpieces of Plato's later period features extensive ongoing commentaries by Cornford that provide helpful background information and valuable insights. The Theaetetus offers a systematic treatment of the question "What is knowledge?" The Sophist follows Socrates' cross-examination of a self-proclaimed true philosopher.
