  abstract: "With a particular focus on the experiences a learner must go through in developing philosophical understanding, the book argues that a reader's experience can be parallel in kind and value to that of the interlocutors we see conversing in the dialogues. The study suggests that, just as Socratic conversation acts as a context for the interlocutors' development of dialectical virtues, so the corpus of Plato's works presents an arena for readers to progress through the different stages of learning ... Accordingly, the study proposes that the shape of the corpus, and the changes we observe between 'early', 'middle', and 'late' dialogues, are best interpreted with reference to the changing needs of receivers at different stages of their philosophical development"--
