The Thomas Taylor Series: The Trust has republished the entire works of Thomas Taylor, the great English Platonist, in a uniform edition of thirty-three volumes. This Thomas Taylor Series represents the most comprehensive survey of the Platonic mystical philosophy in the English language: it not only includes the complete works of Plato and Aristotle, but also most of the surviving works of the late Platonic commentators who revealed the hidden symbology within Plato’s writings. The series presents the Orphic hymns, Pythagorean writings, works by such authors as Proclus, Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus, Julian, Apuleius, Maximus Tyrius, and Pausanias among many others. The Series is presented in hardback cases, bound in purple buckram, with gold blocking to the spine. (A few of the titles in the series are additionally available in paperback.)  The whole series is offered at a discount, details of which can be found here.

Texts and Translations: This is a series which offers a number of important Platonic and neoplatonic works with parallel Greek texts and English translations together with extensive notes and indices – mainly by late twentieth century scholars. The series is in hardback binding.

Students’ Editions Series: This series includes introductions to Platonic concepts of metaphysics and psychology, together with some of the most important Platonic dialogues (with explanatory essays). Paperback.

The Music of Philosophy: Each book in this series offers a number of short extracts from the writings of Platonic philosopher of antiquity which can be used for daily meditations – beautifully presented and designed to inspire. Hardback.
