Last Days of Socrates

Last Days of Socrates more books like this

The trial and condemnation of Socrates on charges of heresy and corrupting young minds is a defining moment in the history of Classical Athens.

Great Dialogues of Plato

Great Dialogues of Plato more books like this

by Plato

Plato wrote approximately 25 dialogues--intellectual debates on such topics as law, virtue, love, and beauty--which are normally divided into three periods: those featuring Socrates, those in which the words of Socrates are most likely Plato's own, and the last several written during Plato's later years. This translation includes the complete ...

Symposium

Symposium more books like this

by Plato

The Symposium is a complex piece which is perhaps as widely read as any of Plato's works apart from the Republic. However the existing standard commentaries in English do not offer much by way of help to any reader except the classicist who knows Greek; and they also tend to be light on the dialogue as a work of philosophy. This new edition aims ...

Gorgias

Gorgias more books like this

by Plato

"I appeal to you to engage in this struggle, which is as worthwhile as any you'll find in this world." The struggle which Plato has Socrates recommend to his interlocutors in "Gorgias" - and to his readers - is the struggle to overcome the temptations of worldly success, and to concentrate on genuine morality. Ostensibly an enquiry into the value ...

Phaedrus more books like this

by Plato

The dating of the Phaedrus has been hotly debated: sometimes it has been counted among Plato's earliest works; sometimes with the dialogues of the 'middle' period (Phaedo, Symposium, Republic); sometimes with the late works (e.g. Sophist, Statesman). The safest and easiest hypothesis is that it stands somewhere between the latter two groups, in ...

The last days of Socrates: Euthyphro, The apology, Crito, Phaedo. more books like this

by Plato, Hugh Tredennick

Socrates spent a lifetime analyzing ethical issues, and the "Euthyphro" finds him outside the court-house, still debating the nature of piety with an arrogant acquaintance. "The Apology" is both a robust rebuttal to the charges of impiety and corrupting young minds and a definitive defence of the philosopher's life. Later, condemned and imprisoned ...

Timaeus and Critias more books like this

by Plato, Desmond Lee (Translator)

'The god wanted everything to be good, marred by as little imperfection as possible.' Timaeus, one of Plato's acknowledged masterpieces, is an attempt to construct the universe and explain its contents by means of as few axioms as possible. The result is a brilliant, bizarre, and surreal cosmos - the product of the rational thinking of a creator ...
