«Hippias majeur» is Plato's philosophical dialogue on beauty, published by Hatier in paperback (79 pages, in French).
Dialogue in which Socrates interrogates the sophist Hippias about the nature of beauty. With irony and logic, he dismantles Hippias's answers and shows that none of them reaches a universal definition. The discussion thus connects aesthetics with the useful and the good, and becomes a foundational text for aesthetic reflection.
This volume, published in 1985, is number 701 in Hatier's Profil Philosophie collection; the cover bears the subtitle «Sur Le Beau».
Aimed at high school students and readers new to Plato's dialogues or to aesthetics.
