Benardete's philosophic reading of the poets and his poetic reading of the philosophers share a common ground, guided by the key he found in the Platonic dialogue: probing the meaning of speeches embedded in deeds, he uncovers the unifying intention of the work by tracing the way it unfolds through a movement of its own. Benardete's original interpretations of the classics are the fruit of this discovery of the \"argument of the action.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeth Benardete\u003c\/b\u003e (1930-2001) was professor of classics at New York University and a lecturer in philosophy at the New School for Social Research Graduate Faculty.
