Maha Issa Al-Abdullah lectured, is to present the problem of interpretation as posed by Plato in the Ion dialogue and his vision that embodied his position on interpretation as an art linked to specific conditions that the interpreter must not deviate from. and the proclivity for censorship expressed in Book II, that definitional Socratic dialogues such as Euthyphro, Ion, and Laches would have been banned from.
