Dialogs of Plato: Volume 1 Hardcover - 1937
by Plato; Benjamin Jowett (Translator)
Summary
Writing in the fourth century B.C., in an Athens that had suffered a humiliating defeat in the Peloponnesian War, Plato formulated questions that have haunted the moral, religious, and political imagination of the West for more than 2,000 years: what is virtue?
