The Collected Works of G. Lowes Dickinson reissues nine titles from Dickinson's impressive oeuvre. The titles in question cover a range of topics, from Plato and the Greek view of life to civilisation and the causes of war.

First published in 1937, this book presents itself as a philosophic dialogue, starting with the diversity of men's ideas about Good. In the first part, it considers the creation and criteria of Good and its relation to truth, pleasure and happiness. In the second part, the book examines some kinds of Good, pointing out their defects and limitations, and suggesting the character of Good which we might hold to be perfect. The topic of the book is treated both philosophically and practically making it intriguing reading.

First published in 1930, this book presents an imagined account of conversation between Plato and 'A Modern Young Man'. In the first part, political and social institutions are considered and property, forms of government, socialism, the control of population, war and education, are discussed. The second part examines the idea of real Goods including the concepts of truth, art and love. In this work, the author sees Plato reaffirming his belief that real Goods come from some higher world, which it is the destiny of the spirits to pursue.

First published in 1905, A Modern Symposium presents a record of a discussion between men at the Seekers club- a now extinct, but then famous, club for men prominent in politics or in the professions- that used to meet fortnightly to listen to, and discuss papers on varying subjects. The group included politicians, a professor, a journalist and a poet, amongst others. At this particular meeting, the participants start their discussion by discussing reasons for going into politics in the first place, and why the key speakers aligned themselves with particular political parties, which leads on to a full and thought-provoking discussion of civilisation. "Has been a source of inspiration to many thousands of readers... It is almost an encyclopaedia of common sense." Everyman "One of the most thought-provoking and, therefore, useful books of our time. No one interested in the problems of life, as these are presented to us day by day, can fail to be the wiser and better by a perusal of Professor Lowes Dickinson's admirable statement of these problems and the hints he gives on their solution." Scottish Educational Journal "A brilliant little book, at once serious and gay, in which various contrasted characters discuss our civilisation." E. M. Forster in The Listener

First published in 1908, this book takes the form of a discussion between Henry Martin- a professor, Charles Stuart- a banker, and Sir John Harington- a gentleman of leisure, on politics and civilisation. The speakers discuss many topics ranging from forms of society (such as oligarchy or democracy), to the institution of marriage, to the necessity of government.
