taking a class, needed the book

This book was significantly cheaper through Amazon than through the school bookstore. It arrived in great condition and it seems like it is a nicely done book. It is not a book I would have purchased on my own as I am not one of those people that asks "why?" about everything. Maybe by the end of...

Excellent Choice

I highly recommend this book. It made me want to read more of Plato's dialogues. Anyone that even slightly desires read about philosophy should at least start wih this as a primer.

The trial, imprisonment, and death of Socrates

These Five Dialogues cover the most famous (or infamous) portion of Socrates life--his trial and subsequent execution. In this they are historically invaluable. Plato lays out each dialogue with great artistic prowess (and the translators, for their part, keep everything smooth and pleasant)....

The Core of Greek Philosophy Contained 156 Pages

I am not going to give you a synopsis of each dialogue. What I will say is that this is easily one of the most important reads of modern times. Most people would say that if you are interested in the art of philosophy then this is a must. I am willing to go a step further. If you are interested...

Excellent

Well, I don't think I need to review the ideas of Plato. Besides, to do that would take far more space than I have, and far more time than I'm alotting to this review.Ultimately, what makes this book so good is that its a cheap yet extremely intelligent and scholarly intro to Plato. The 5...
