17035PLATO. The Greater Hippias: A Dialogue of Plato Concerning The Beautifull. London: H. Woodfall 1759. First Edition. Quarto 127 pages. Modern calf-backed marbled boards fresh endpapers. In the Greater  Hippias Socrates and Hippias set out to find a definition for "beauty" but are destined to fail due to their inability to formulate an answer which encompasses the entire concept. The text has an anatreptic purpose-- that is the result of the dialogue is to defeat commonly held opinions without necessarily offering a resolution. The Platonic concept of something "good in and of itself" makes its first appearance in this early dialogue which can be read as much as a serious philosophical work as a light satirical comedy with two actors. Translated by Floyer Sydenham whose Platonic scholarship was credited with "'just criticism and extensive learning an elegant taste and a genius naturally philosophic' by Thomas Taylor. Leaves rippled somewhat with light foxing. In very good condition. unknown books
