Description
Plato's "Phaedrus" is a dialogue between two prominent figures from ancient Greece. Phaedrus has been engaging in conversation with Lysias, a celebrated rhetorician, and now seeks to refresh himself by taking a walk outside the city walls. His path crosses with that of Socrates, who requests that Phaedrus deliver up the speech he has been carrying about in his mind. The two men agree to walk along the stream of the Ilissus towards a plane-tree, where they will lie down and read the speech of Lysias aloud. This conversation serves as a foundation for a discussion on the proper use of rhetoric, exploring the nature of love and its role in human relationships. The dialogue is an important work by Plato, offering insight into his philosophical thoughts on these topics. This edition features a translation with an introduction by Benjamin Jowett and is printed on premium acid-free paper.
