Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Percy Bysshe Shelley as a Philosopher and Reformer: Including an Original Sonnet
Plato is eminently the greatest among the Greek philosophers and from, or rather perhaps through him and his master, Socrates, have proceeded those emanations of moral and metaphysical knowledge, on which a long series and an incalculable variety of popular superstitions have sheltered their absurdities from the slow contempt of mankind.
