Meno Charmides Laches Lysis 'Do please try to tell us what courage
is...' In these four dialogues Plato considers virtue and its
definition. Charmides, Laches, and Lysis investigate the specific
virtues of self-control, courage, and friendship; the later Meno
discusses the concept of virtue as a whole, and whether it is
something that can be taught. In the conversations between Socrates
and his interlocutors, moral concepts are debated and shown to be
more complex than at first appears, until all the participants in
the conversations are reduced to bafflement. The artistry as well
as the philosophy of these dialogues has always been widely
admired. The introduction to this edition explains the course of
the four dialogues and examines the importance of Socrates'
questions and arguments, and the notes cover major and minor points
in more detail. This is an essential volume for understanding the
brilliance of the first Western philosopher. ABOUT THE SERIES: For
over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the
widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable
volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the
most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features,
including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful
notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further
study, and much more.
