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 SynopsisPlato's Socrates, in prison and being urged to flee execution, raises in acute form, and for the first time in European thought, a central question: is it right to disobey the state? Socrates' controversial answer in "Crito" has generated much contemporary literature, but no English commentary of the Greek text for seventy-five years. This new edition aims to provide an up-to-date literary and philosophical analysis suitable for a wide range of readers, including those with post-beginners Greek. It represents an ideal introduction, not only to the social and philosophical world of Classical Greece, but also to the personality of one of its greatest thinkers.

  • Symposium

    Everyman Symposium

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisIt has been said that, after the Bible, Plato's dialogues are the most influential books in Western culture. And of the dialogues, the Symposium is the most delightful and accessible, requiring no special knowledge of ancient Greek philosophy or customs. Dramatizing a party in fifth-century B.C. Athens, the deceptively unassuming Symposium introduces--in the guise of convivial after-dinner conversation--profound ideas about the nature of love. In Phaedrus, here published together with the Symposium, Plato discusses the place of eloquence in expounding truth. In both dialogues, Socrates plays the leading role, by turns teasing, arguing, analyzing, joking, inspiring, and cajoling his followers into understanding ideas that have remained central to Western thought through the centuries.
