Dialogues with Socrates
9.99 €
Plato (c. 428-348 BC) was an ancient Greek idealist philosopher, the founder of his own philosophical school, and a student of Socrates. According to legend, on the day he met Plato, Socrates had a prophetic dream: a white swan pressed itself against his chest and then flew up so high that it almost disappeared from sight. The swan, as a symbol of the god Apollo, clarifies the meaning of the dream: no matter how much you teach your student, you will learn the most important things from him. The friendship between the old and young philosophers lasted until the execution of Socrates in 399 BC. The Dialogues are unique works that are part of the so-called "Platonic corpus" of works that have survived to this day.

This edition consists of four dialogues in which Socrates acts as the main character. In the Crito, he explains that one cannot commit injustice not only in relation to people, but also in relation to laws. In the Symposium, he believes that we should see in love not only emotions, but also a cultural beginning. And in Phaedrus, continuing his thought, he says that it is love that perfects the immortal soul of man and awakens the best qualities and aspirations in him. In Phaedo, Socrates reveals his idea that one must respect another's sense of justice without imposing one's own. All texts are provided with detailed commentary.
