The Midwife of Platonism by David Sedley is an enjoyable book to read. It is elegant and engaging, a refreshing reconsideration of the relation of Plato to Socrates...I reccommend [it] to anyone with an interest in the Theaetetus and in the perennial question of Socrates. --Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews<br> David Sedley is one of my favorite philosophical authors. Everything he writes is fresh, bold, interesting, provocative, sensitive, sympathetic, and a delight to read. He often makes interesting use of his considerable knowledge of the middle platonists. --Gail Fine, The Philosophical Quarterly<br>
