Refreshing to see an artist's original take on this dialogue; the
translation is lively and agile; and the concluding essay is rich
in insights about art and life.--Roslyn Weiss "The International
Journal of the Platonic Tradition"
Sarah Ruden's lively translation of Plato's Hippias Minor sits
provocatively alongside Paul Chan's essay and material from his
installation inspired by the dialogue. Richard Fletcher's article
is also helpful for understanding where this sits in both Chan's
oeuvre and mainstream scholarship on Plato. The collision between
Chan and ancient philosophy produces various electrical
effects.--Dr. Kurt Lampe "University of Bristol"
