Plato • Dialogues
Volumes of Benjamin Jowett's translation
The Dialogues are a collection of philosophical texts written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in the form of conversations between various characters.
They cover a wide range of topics, including ethics, politics, epistemology, and metaphysics, and are considered some of the most important works in the Western philosophical tradition.
Providing a detailed and nuanced exploration of many key philosophical concepts and ideas, they also demonstrate Plato's mastery of the art of dialogue, especially the use of the Socratic method, in which characters engage in a dialogue to explore a particular idea or question, rather than simply presenting a thesis.
This method allows Plato to present
multiple perspectives on a topic and to encourage the reader to think
critically about the ideas presented.
