Through an eloquent speech based on truth, Socrates reaffirms his virtues and integrity. The volume also includes 'The Symposium' and 'Crito', offering a deep insight into Socratic thought and his serene acceptance of the death sentence, cementing Plato as one of the most influential philosophers in history. Considered the philosopher par excellence and teacher of Aristotle, Plato offers us in these dialogues an unusual offering to the trial and death of his master. This edition is an essential piece for understanding the foundations of Western philosophy and the origin of democracy, being an essential read for anyone interested in classical literature and ancient thought.
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.
