The analysis focuses on the reading order of Plato's dialogues, suggesting that it is this order, rather than the order of composition, that classifies works like Euthyphro and Apology as "late dialogues." Altman emphasizes the significance of Plato's choice to place Sophist and Statesman between Euthyphro and Apology, advocating for a deeper appreciation of this decision among scholars. The book challenges traditional interpretations and encourages a reevaluation of the dialogues' structure and their philosophical implications.
