It is quite likely, as many scholars have suggested, that Plato used performance of his dialogues as a teaching tool in the Academy but there is very little evidence of any specific kind for ancient performances of Plato<\/p>\n
Charalabopoulos takes us on an interesting journey through the issues, but he<\/p>\n
struggles to make a compelling case.<\/p>\n
He claims that it is not \u201cimproper\u201d to use Plato for our own particular<\/p>\n
agenda, but only if \u201cthe reading will bring us closer to Plato and not vice versa\u201d<\/p>\n
