Thomas Taylor - 33 books on Plato & Platonic Tradition

The Thomas Taylor Series\n\n33 Hardback Volumes direct from the publishers\n\nThe Thomas Taylor Series represents the finest collection of English translations of the Platonic tradition: it includes all Plato's dialogues and epistles, all Aristotle's works, most the extant works of Proclus, much of Plotinus, Apuleius, Sallustius, Porphyry, the Emperor Julian, the Orphic Hymns, Maximus Tyrius, Iamblichus, and Pausanias.  \n\nThomas Taylor's translations are the closest to the spirit of the ancient tradition which saw philosophy as a spiritual path, rather than a field for clever word play.  \n\n\u201C(Taylor) undertook, in full knowledge of what\nthis would entail, a life work in the service of the minority who value the\nhighest achievements of human thought. \nHis translations represent a side of Greek thought that but for him\nwould be unrepresented in English literature.\u201D Kathleen Raine, from Thomas Taylor the\nPlatonist.
