Rich in drama and humor, this volume of seven dialogues includes
the controversial "Ion," a debate on poetic inspiration; "Laches,"
in which Socrates seeks to define bravery; and "Euthydemus," which
considers the relationship between philosophy and politics.
Together, these dialogues provide a definitive portrait of the real
Socrates and raise issues still keenly debated by philosophers,
forming an incisive overview of Plato's philosophy.
As the father of Western philosophy, who transformed Greek
thought with his questioning insights into life and ethics,
Socrates was a powerful inspiration?and major irritant?to the
Athenians of his day. After his trial and execution on charges of
heresy and the corruption of young minds, his greatest pupil,
Plato, wrote these early dialogues as an act of homage.
