What if philosophy could teach you how to live, how to die, and how to speak the truth in a world ruled by persuasion?
The Ancient Wisdom Collection (Vol. 7) compiles six of Plato's most influential dialogues into one essential edition-each work offering a unique lens on human existence, moral courage, and the quest for wisdom. Whether discussing the birth of knowledge or the final moments of Socrates, these dialogues remain strikingly relevant and deeply moving.
What You'll Discover Inside:
. Meno - A searching discussion on whether virtue can be taught, introducing the concept of anamnesis-the idea that knowledge is recollection of eternal truths.
. Phaedo - Plato's powerful reflection on the immortality of the soul, centered on Socrates' final hours and the argument that death is not the end, but a return to truth.
. Crito - A dialogue on justice and loyalty, as Socrates rejects escape from prison in favor of obedience to law and principle.
. Timaeus - A blend of science, metaphysics, and myth. Explore Plato's cosmological vision of the creation of the universe and the divine order that underlies all existence.
. Gorgias - A confrontation between philosophy and sophistry, this dialogue critiques the manipulation of rhetoric and champions truth over persuasion and power.
. Euthyphro - A probing investigation into the nature of piety and justice, famously posing the question: "Is something pious because the gods love it, or do the gods love it because it is pious?"
With themes ranging from metaphysical speculation to ethical dilemmas and political thought, this volume offers an accessible path into the heart of Plato's philosophy-and the enduring legacy of Socratic inquiry.
Read these works to challenge your assumptions, strengthen your reasoning, and explore the timeless mysteries of knowledge, virtue, and the soul.
