Plato's Five Remarkable Dialogues Collection A collection of five of Plato's most famous Dialogues, This edition includes Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, and Phaedo. Euthyphro - A dialogue between Socrates and Euthyphro in the weeks before the trial of Socrates. Apology - A dialogue of the speech of legal self-defence which Socrates spoke at his trial. Crito - A conversation between Socrates and his wealthy friend Crito regarding justice, following his imprisonment. Meno - A dialogue between Meno and Socrates on the subject of virtue. Phaedo - A dialogue on the soul, set in the final hours before the death of Socrates. One of Plato's most enduring works, these five dialogues punctuate the key moments in Socrates' life, from his trial to his death, with timeless philosophical debates about law, love, virtue, ethics and the meaning of life. These dialogues feature Socrates speaking with a student or friend about the philosophical concerns of laws, the virtue of mankind, the purpose of the gods, and death. Each dialogue searches through different facets of philosophy and makes the reader question their own personal beliefs and morals. These dialogues have profoundly influenced the history of intellectual thought, and offer crucial insight into mystical, aesthetic, and other aspects of Platonic doctrine. This edition is based on the 1892 translations by Benjamin Jowett (1817-1893) and omits stephanus pagination.

Autorenporträt
Plato, born around 428/427 BCE in Athens, was a key figure in shaping Western philosophy. Coming from an aristocratic family, he was exposed early to politics and philosophy. His relationship with Socrates was pivotal, and after Socrates' execution, Plato traveled before founding the Academy, one of the first higher learning institutions.Plato's works, including Republic, Phaedo, and Symposium, have had a profound impact on philosophy, especially through his theory of Forms, which distinguishes the eternal world of ideas from the changing physical world. Through these dialogues, he tackled justice, reality, and the soul's immortality, with Socrates often serving as his central character. His philosophy shaped not only Aristotle but generations of thinkers across many fields.Plato's influence extended into theology, political theory, and the sciences. His Academy became a hub of intellectual activity, attracting students from across the Greek world. Even today, his works, preserved for over 2,000 years, continue to inspire debate and reflection, cementing his status as one of history's most studied philosophers.
