These six selections of his major works explore a broad range of enduringly relevant issues. Authoritative Jowett translations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Plato's brilliant dialogues, written in the fourth century B.C., rank among Western civilization's most important philosophical works. Presented as a series of probing conversations between Socrates and his students and fellow citizens, they form a magnificent dialectical quest that examines enduring political, ethical, metaphysical, and epistemological issues. <br>Here, in one inexpensive edition, are six of Plato's remarkable and revelatory dialogues, each translated by distinguished classical scholar Benjamin Jowett. <i>Apology</i> defends the integrity of Socrates' teachings. <i>Crito</i> discusses respect for the law. <i>Phaedo</i> considers death and the immortality of the soul. <i>Phaedrus</i> explores the psychology of love. <i>Symposium</i> reflects on the ultimate manifestation of the love that controls the world, and <i>The Republic</i> ponders society and the philosopher's role within it. Stimulating, dramatic, and always relevant, these dialogues have profoundly influenced the history of intellectual thought, and offer crucial insight into mystical, aesthetic, and other aspects of Platonic doctrine.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Plato ranks among the most familiar ancient philosophers, along with his teacher, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle.
