This edition of Plato's 'Dialogues', published by Austral, presents a selection of his most important works: 'Gorgias', 'Phaedo', and 'The Symposium'. These dialogues, written during his mature period, explore profound philosophical themes with an attractive formal structure. 'Gorgias' addresses rhetoric and politics, contrasting Socrates with the sophists. 'Phaedo' examines the arguments about the immortality of the soul in Socrates' last conversation. 'The Symposium' offers various perspectives on love, culminating in Socrates' discourse. These dialogues recreate conversations on current issues, treated with a balance between poetry and ideology, inviting reflection on life, the afterlife, and love.
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.
