Hmmm bit of a high school book, lots of picutres way to learn about Plato. No comment really on this, its really just a reference book. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 184046660X, Paperback)

Introducing Plato begins by explaining how philosophers like Socrates and Pythagoras influenced Plato's thought. It provides a clear account of Plato's puzzling theory of knowledge, and explains how this theory then directed his provocative views on politics, ethics and individual liberty.
