Description
"The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato." - Alfred North Whitehead Plato's ideas on reason, justice, and religion have had profound impact on Western philosophy and politics. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Plato's full body of work is believed to have survived intact and remains studied to this day. These Ancient Greek writings are structured into dialogues between his mentor Socrates and various Athenian citizens, covering vast range of topics including the construction of communities, immortality of the soul, temperance, rhetoric and virtue. This beautiful hardback collects many of these dialogues, including his most celebrated work The Republic which remains strikingly relevant to the modern world. Includes: * The Republic * Symposium * Apology * Euthyphro * Meno * Crito ABOUT THE SERIES: The World Classics Library series gathers together the work of authors and philosophers whose ideas have stood the test of time. Perfect for bibliophiles, these gorgeous jacketed hardbacks are a wonderful addition to any bookshelf.
