«Diálogos» is the volume of philosophical dialogues by Plato, published by Austral in paperback (271 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together three dialogues by Plato composed in his mature period. In Gorgias, rhetoric and justice are examined; in Phaedo, Socrates' last hours serve to discuss death and the immortality of the soul; in The Symposium, several characters deliver speeches on love. The philosophical debate takes dramatic form.
Volume 1 of the Clásica collection, within the Ciencias y Humanidades series from Austral. Includes an introduction by Carlos García Gual and a reading guide by José Lasaga Medina and José María Herrera.
Edition designed for those approaching classical philosophy; the included critical apparatus facilitates reading of the three dialogues.
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.
