Alex added 'The Five Dialogues of Plato'

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 00:53:21 -0800

Alex gave 5 stars to The Five Dialogues of Plato (Paperback) by Plato
What is virtue, and can it be taught? What does it mean to be good? Is an unexamined life really not worth living?

These and many other questions are discussed in Plato's Five Dialogues. The book is a collection of deep philosophical conversations that Socrates has with various Athenians before and after his trial. I love that I had to pause multiple times while reading to reflect on what was said. This was especially true during the discussion of death and the soul in Phaedo.

I think this book is perfect for people who truly want to learn how to think more critically and contemplate various issues like life, death, and knowledge.
