Description

Set in the idyllic countryside outside Athens, thePhaedrusis a dialogue between the philosopher Socrates and his young friend Phaedrus, inspired by their reading of a clumsy speech by the writer Lysias about love. After first considering the virtues of romantic love, their conversation develops into a wide-ranging discussion on such subjects as the pursuit of beauty, the nature of humanity, the immortality of the soul and the attainment of truth, and ends with an in-depth consideration of the principles of rhetoric. Probably a work of Plato’s maturity, thePhaedrusrepresents a high point in his achievement as a writer. It remains a fascinating exploration of love, mortality, destiny and what it means to be human.

About the Author

One of the most influential and renowned Green philosophers, Plato wrote on topics spanning politics, mathematics, aesthetics and ethics. A student of Socrates and a teacher of Aristotle, Plato founded the Academy in Athens, which is considered the Western world’s first institution of higher learning.
