Great Dialogues of Plato (Grapevine edition)

""Plato is philosophy, and philosophy, Plato." - Emerson The Republic and other outstanding dialogues by the venerable Greek philosopher Plato are masterworks that are a part of the most significant body of literature in the history of philosophy. These dialogues, which brilliantly capture the glistening essence of Platonic philosophy, examine beauty, love, immortality, wisdom, and justice.. The whole texts of seven of Plato's most respected writings are included in this volume, which was translated by W. H. D. Rouse, one of the most distinguished ancient academics in the world and the translator of Homer's The Odyssey and The Iliad."In Rouse's pages Socrates' strength of mind, his dedication to philosophical truth, are borne in on the modern reader with something of the power that impressed and disturbed the ancient Greeks." - Time"
