Books by Plato

Portrait of Plato

Plato stands among the most influential figures in Western philosophy, a thinker whose dialogues continue to shape ideas of ethics, politics, and knowledge. Writing in ancient Athens, he explored the nature of truth and reality through conversations that remain both accessible and profound, introducing readers to Socrates and the search for wisdom through questioning.

His works, from reflections on justice and the ideal state to meditations on love and the soul, offer a foundation for philosophical inquiry that endures today. Whether approached for study or personal insight, Plato's words invite readers to engage deeply with reason, virtue, and the enduring pursuit of understanding.

    Book SynopsisSocrates’ ancient words are still true, and the ideas found in Plato’s Dialogues still form the foundation of a thinking person’s education. This superb collection contains excellent contemporary translations selected for their clarity and accessibility to today’s reader, as well as an incisive introduction by Erich Segal, which reveals Plato’s life and clarifies the philosophical issues examined in each dialogue. The first four dialogues recount the trial and execution of Socrates-the extraordinary tragedy that changed Plato’s life and forever altered the course of Western thought. Other dialogues create a rich tableau of intellectual life in Athens in the fourth century b.c., and examine such timeless-and timely-issues as the nature of virtue and love, knowledge and truth, society and the individual. Resounding with the humor and astounding brilliance of Socrates, the immortal iconoclast, these great works remain powerful, probing, and essential.

    Book SynopsisA monumental work of moral and political philosophy, a book surpassed only by the Bible in its formative influence on two thousand years of Western thought. What does it mean to be good? What enables us to distinguish right from wrong? How should human virtues be translated into a just society? In the course of its tautly reasoned Socratic dialogues, The Republic accomplishes nothing less than an anatomy of the soul and an exhaustive description of a State that both mirrors and enforces the soul’s ideal harmony. The resulting text is at once mystical and elegantly logical and may be read as a template for the societies in which most of us live today.
