"Excellent translations with quality, scholarly commentaries, but not for the casual summer reader, or the short attention-span crowd. I bought this because my son wanted to discuss the subject from his college courses and my last exposure to Plato was over forty years ago. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting or needing a good understanding of the origins of philosophical thought in the context of classical civilization, but it's definitely not for the typical MTV or Harlequin Romance junkie."
"Where do I start with Plato? The man made a foundation for though, a charter for truth, a map for philosophers. If he is not the flourish or the crown, he is the foundation and cheif cornerstone of my thinking."
"I only read Socrates' Defense/Apology, the first 25 pages of this book. To see how Socrates answered his accusers and went to his death during this week, when how Jesus did the same is the focus of so many services, is particularly interesting. I had forgotten that Socrates felt he was following a divine mandate. I loved that when Socrates was condemned and asked to suggest his own punishment, he replied that upkeep by the state, which he was constantly working to improve, seemed appropriate."
