  • Hippias mineur

    by Platon ...
    Eudicos. — Mais toi, Socrate, pourquoi restes-tu ainsi muet, après qu’Hippias a si amplement discouru ? D’où vientque tu ne joins pas tes éloges aux nôtres ?

  • The Republic

    Translated by Benjamin Jowett ...
    by Platon ...
    Plato was the first Western philosopher to apply philosophy to politics. His ideas on, for example, the nature and value of justice, and the relationship between justice and politics, have been extraordinarily influential. „The Republic” of Plato is the longest of his works with the exception of the „Laws”, and is certainly the greatest of them. Presented as a series of dialogue between Socrates ... Read more

  • Plato's Phaedrus

    by Platon ...
    Plato's dialogues frequently cover several topics and show their connection to each other. The "Phaedrus" is a model of that skill because of its seamless progression from examples of speeches about the nature of love to mythical visions of human nature and destiny to the essence of beauty and, finally, to a penetrating discussion of speaking and writing. It ends with an examination of the love of ... Read more

  • Plato's Theaetetus

    by Platon ...
    Perception, memory, truth, and knowledge all play major roles in this dialogue. What is remarkable about Plato's treatment of those ideas is how contemporary are both the questions and the answers he puts in the mouths of his characters. Socrates is adamant in asserting that he does not know the answers but that his function is simply to help formulate and critically examine the doctrines ... Read more
