Dialogues of Plato

The Dialogues of Plato are a series of philosophical conversations written as dialogues, where Socrates and other characters explore fundamental questions about life, justice, knowledge, and virtue. These dialogues serve as a method for examining ideas through discussion, encouraging critical thinking. Instead of straightforward answers, they present different viewpoints, inviting readers to consider and reflect. Written around 400 BCE, they form the foundation of Western philosophy, highlighting the importance of questioning assumptions and seeking understanding through dialogue and reasoned debate.
