About this title: 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 texts of THE REPUBLIC, APOLOGY, CRITO, PHAEDO, ION, MENO, and the SYMPOSIUM.

"Didn't read it all. Read selected chapters for a university course. Some very interesting ideas. Plato was really into censorship to promote a well ordered society."
"Of inestimable value as a continuation of Socrates' work, I have to agree with a friend of mine. Many of the dialogues eventually breakdown to an ancient Greek equivalent of a Victorian gentleman's club, with here-here's all around."
