Euthydemus (Mobi Classics)

by Plato,Benjamin Jowett (Translator) ...

Euthydemus (Euthydemos), written 380 BCE, is dialogue by Plato which satirizes the logical fallacies of the Sophists. It describes a visit paid by Socrates and various youths to two brothers, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, both of whom are prominent Sophists. The main purpose of Euthydemus is to contrast Socratic argumentation and education with those of the Sophism, to the detriment of the latter. ... Read more

The Laws (Mobi Classics)

by Plato,Benjamin Jowett (Translator) ...

The Laws is Plato's last and longest dialogue. The question asked at the beginning is not "What is law?" as one would expect- that is the question of the Minos. The first question is rather, "Who is given the credit for laying down your laws?"It is generally agreed that Plato wrote this dialogue as an older man, having failed in his effort in Syracuse on the island of Sicily to guide a tyrant's ...

Ion

by Plato ...

Translated by Benjamin Jowett ...

In "Ion," Plato explores the nature of poetic inspiration through a dialogue between Socrates and the rhapsode Ion. The text masterfully dissects the relationship between the poet, the audience, and the divine, positioning poetry as a medium that evokes emotion rather than communicates knowledge. The literary style is characterized by Socratic dialogue, employing probing questions that reveal ... Read more

Parmenides

by Benjamin Jowett, Plato ...

The awe with which Plato regarded the character of 'the great' Parmenides has extended to the dialogue which he calls by his name. None of the writings of Plato have been more copiously illustrated, both in ancient and modern times, and in none of them have the interpreters been more at variance with one another. Nor is this surprising. For the Parmenides is more fragmentary and isolated than any ... Read more

Apology, Or; The Death Of Socrates (Mobi Classics)

(The) Apology (of Socrates) is Plato's version of the speech given by Socrates as he defends himself against the charges of being a man "who corrupted the young, did not believe in the gods, and created new deities". "Apology" here has its earlier meaning (now usually expressed by the word "apologia") of speaking in defense of a cause or of one's beliefs or actions. Excerpted from Wikipedia, the ... Read more

Sophist (Mobi Classics)

by Plato,Benjamin Jowett (Translator) ...

The Sophist is one of the late Dialogues of Plato, which was written much later than the Parmenides and the Theaetetus, probably in 360 BC. After he criticized his own Theory of Forms in the Parmenides, Plato proceeds in the Sophist with a new conception of the Forms, more mundane and down-to-earth, and makes more clear the epistemological and metaphysical puzzles of the Parmenides; thus, he ...
