SCOTTISH-POLISH COOPERATION ON PLATO AT THE TURN OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

This paper discusses an example of Scottish-Polish cooperation on research, undertaken at the turn of the twentieth century, into the dialogues and philosophy of Plato. Two scholars were involved in this research: the Scottish classical scholar and historian of ancient philosophy, Lewis Campbell (1830-1908), and the Polish Plato scholar and philosopher, Wincenty Lutoslawski (1863-1954). Their research on the chronology of Plato's dialogues is analysed and the reception of their works discussed. The paper is enriched with some excerpts from their correspondence.
