Book Description:

Many of the greatest philosophers have used the form of the dialogue to expound their arguments, yet the vehicle itself has been inadequately studied. The three essays in this volume examine the reasons why particular philosophers have chosen to use the dialogue as a tool to interact between the philosophical content and the literary form.
