Fourth installment in Plato's series of dialogues, in Alianza's «El libro de bolsillo» collection. Translation by José Manuel Pabón and Manuel Fernández-Galiano, with an introduction by Manuel Fernández-Galiano.
Aimed at readers interested in classical philosophy, politics, and the history of Western 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.
