This bundle includes two masterpieces by Plato:<\/p>\n

Apology<\/strong>
In 399 BC, the philosopher Socrates stands before the court of Athens to defend himself against the charges of \u201ccorrupting the youth\u201d and \u201cnot believing in the gods of the city, but in other daimonia.\u201d In this dialogue, Socrates speaks plainly and honestly about who he is and the life he has led. The Apology<\/em> is one of the four Socratic dialogues\u2014along with Euthyphro<\/em>, Phaedo<\/em>, and Crito<\/em>\u2014through which Plato recounts the final days of Socrates. <\/p>\n

Symposium<\/strong>
The Symposium<\/em> takes place at a banquet hosted by the poet Agathon in Athens in 416 BC. Several distinguished Athenian intellectuals\u2014including the philosopher Socrates, the comic playwright Aristophanes, the general Alcibiades, and others\u2014each deliver a speech in honor of Eros, the god of love and desire. Through their words, a rich variety of perspectives on love emerges: love as a source of courage, as a guide to noble deeds, and as a force that elevates the human soul. The sequence of speeches culminates with Socrates, who, through the wisdom of the priestess Diotima, presents love as the pursuit of beauty and truth\u2014a gradual ascent toward absolute Beauty itself. <\/p>\n

Each book includes an introduction, the original ancient Greek text, and its English translation.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
