Dialogues of Plato Mass market paperbound - 1984
by Plato; Justin Kaplan (Editor); Benjamin Jowett (Translator)
Summary
Writing in the fourth century B.C., in an Athens that had suffered a humiliating defeat in the Peloponnesian War, Plato formulated questions that have haunted the moral, religious, and political imagination of the West for more than 2,000 years: what is virtue?
