Publisher Description
The Phaedrus, composed by Plato, is a dialogue between Plato's main protagonist, Socrates, and Phaedrus, an interlocutor in several dialogues. The Phaedrus was presumably composed around 370 BC, around the same time as Plato's Republic and Symposium. Although ostensibly about the topic of love, the discussion in the dialogue revolves around the art of rhetoric and how it should be practiced, and dwells on subjects as diverse as metempsychosis (the Greek tradition of reincarnation) and erotic love.
This edition has formatted for your reader, with an active table of contents. It has also been extensively annotated, with additional information about Apology and also Plato, including an overview, setting, summary, interpretation, and biographical information about Plato and his philosophy.
