Alcibiades is a dialogue written by Plato that portrays a young Alcibiades, an Athenian politician, highlighting his beauty, wealth, and connections with powerful figures. The dialogue explores whether Alcibiades possesses the necessary skills to wield power and whether he will prioritize his own interests or the public good. The work raises the need for self-knowledge to answer these questions. This bilingual edition presents the text in French and Ancient Greek, facilitating access to the original work.
Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher of Classical Athens who is most commonly considered the foundational thinker of the Western philosophical tradition. An innovator of the literary dialogue and dialectic forms, Plato influenced all the major areas of theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the collection of philosophical theories that would later become known as Platonism.
