Contributions range from a reading of Phaedo as a ghost story to thinking about climate change documentaries through Plato?s account of pleonexia . They suggest how philosophical aesthetics can be reoriented by attending anew to Plato?s deployment of images, particularly images that move. They also show how Plato?s deployment of images is integral to his practice as a literary artist.
