在线阅读本书 Book Description The trial and condemnation of Socrates on charges of heresy and corrupting young minds is a defining moment in the history of Classical Athens. In tracing these events through four dialogues, Plato also developed his own philosophy, based on Socrates' manifesto for a life guided by self-responsibility. Euthyphro finds Socrates outside the court-house, debating the nature of piety, while The Apology is his robust rebuttal of the charges of impiety and a defence of the philosopher's life. In the Crito, while awaiting execution in prison, Socrates counters the arguments of friends urging him to escape. Finally, in the Phaedo, he is shown calmly confident in the face of death, skilfully arguing the case for the immortality of the soul. Book Dimension length: (cm)19.7 　　　 　　　　　 　　　　　 width:(cm)12.8

Plato's Symposium, written in the early part of the 4th century BC, is set at a drinking party (symposium) attended by some of the leading intellectuals of the day, including Aristophanes, the comic dramatist, Socrates, Plato's mentor, and Alcibiades, the brilliant but (eventually) treacherous politician. Each guest gives a speech in praise of the benefits of desire and its role in the good and happy human life. At the core of the work stands Socrates' praise of philosophical desire, and an argument for the superiority of the philosophical life as the best route to happiness. This edition provides an accessible and engaging new translation by M. C. Howatson, and a substantial introduction, by Frisbee Sheffield, which guides the reader through the various parts of the dialogue and reflects on its central arguments. A chronology and detailed notes on the participants help to set this enduring work in context.

本卷目录： Republic Appendix: Introduction and Analysis(Jowett)

《法义》是柏拉图的最后一部作品。在他去世前若干年内完成。三位老人（一位克里特人，一位斯巴达人，一位雅典人）在克里特相遇，谈论法的好坏。他们认为，法在理想国中不会产生，因为理想的国家根本不需要法，而需要用法来统治的地方定有不正义的现象存在。不管怎么说，法的统治无论如何是第二流的。这种意见表达了人们对利益共同体的真实看法。如果加以坚持，就能增进对理想共同体的理解，进而改善实际的法。

《柏拉图文集》内容简介：柏拉图的著作大多是用对话体裁写成的，人物性格鲜明，场景生动有趣，语言优美华丽，论证严密细致，内容丰富深刻，达到了哲学与文学、逻辑与修辞的高度统一，不仅在哲学上而且在文学上亦具有极其重要的意义和价值。 柏拉图的对话无疑是希腊文化留下的瑰宝。它不但为我们展示了一个在西方哲学史上最早的，也是两干多年来影响最大的理性主义的哲学体系；而且在文学史上也是极其优美的杰作，尤其是在他的早中期对话中，既充满了机智幽默的谈话，又穿插了许多动人的神话故事和寓言。他的对话可以与希腊古代的史诗、著名的悲剧和喜剧媲美，是世界上不朽的文学名著。
