Angry
| Customer Rating:  | | I STILL HAVE NOT RECIEVED MY BOOK. IT IS WAY PAST DUE. IF I DO NOT GET A REFUND OR THE BOOK SOON I WILL BE TURNING FRADULENT TRANSACTION OVER TO MY ATTORNEY! I HAVE ALREADY FILED A CLAIM WITH AMAZON AND THEY HAVE BEEN OF LITTLE HELP. I WILL NEVER USE AMAZON.COM AGAIN AND I RECOMMEND TO OTHERS THAT THEY NEVER MAKE A PURCHASE WITH IT EITHER! |
Bad advertizing by Amazon + One major work missing anyway
| Customer Rating: | This CD contains most of Plato's work (translated in English) as a bunch of PDF files that you can just read off the CD or simply copy on your hard disk. I don't even remember an installation program.
You ought to be aware of the following issues.
1. This CD (ISBN: 9568351787) is NOT an electronic version of the book to which Amazon links has been linking it so far: the paper book edited by Cooper and Hutchinson. This snaffu may not be the CD publisher's fault, however. It may be sloppiness at Amazon in linking 2 media forms just because the titles sound close enough. But this sloppiness has been quite lasting. It's still on the site today!
2. There is the question of the translation differences raised by other commenters, but this again has to see with the first point. The CD is just not the CD version of that book. Two separate things.
3. The Cooper/Hutchinson book also includes work whose autorship by Plato is discussed by scholars, as the 2 editors point out with footnotes in the table of content. These disputed works are not included on this CD and I DON'T fault this "publisher" for the omission.
4. But where I find fault with this CD is in its omission of a major work by Plato "THEAETETUS". According to Cooper and Hutchinson, this work is Plato's only SUSTAINED inquiry into the question "What is knowledge?" They think that it's the "founding document" of the branch of philosophy called epistemology. Beside this major omission, the other titles are there.
I don't feel happy I bought this CD. I will attach these comments to a complaint to Amazon.
As to the publisher, www.bnpublishing.com, it should at leas tmake the missing work available on the site as a downloadable PDF file. The proper correction should be an exchange of the incomplete CD with a complete one. The email to contact the publisher is on the site.

Nice for the Price
| Customer Rating: | | Nice quality book overall... Pages are super-thin, Bible-style, and the binding is medium-high quality... but it's the Complete Works for under 50 bucks! |
Great Collection
| Customer Rating: | | I have not yet finished this book, but so far it appears to be a great collection for those interested in philosophy. The topics it covers are varying and very different from other books I have read. An example of this is that one of the "books" is a discussion of names and their relation to the things that they name. That is something that I have not been introduced to yet in my studies and it is good to get a broader knowledge of such things. However, I think that this book will most be enjoyed by someone who takes philisophy seriously, as a person who is just begginning or is just meerly interested, it might be somewhat confusing. |
a must-have
| Customer Rating: | | Highly recommended for any reader or thinker. The complete work of Plato, with helpful footnotes on translations and culture. Easy to navigate through, considering the size, and the margins leave enough space for highlighed scribbles and your own notes. Great price for even greater product, one that you will surely refrence multiple times. |
