About Plato

Plato (427-347 B.C.) was a classical Greek philosopher, mathematician, writer, and student of Socrates. Most of his works, which form some of the core foundations of Western philosophy, are written in the form of dialogues, in which Socrates often figures prominently. His best-known writings include the Republic, the Apology, the Symposium, Crito, and Statesman. Plato's work addresses such diverse themes as the nature of love, human knowledge and understanding, and the ideal form of government.

Usput vidim da se Država može čitati i treći put, ali se sa Menonom dosad nisam susretao. Ovde se Sokrat pita "da li se vrlina može naučiti ili......more

Goodreads review by B. P. on December 18, 2017

This is my new philosophy read of the year...at the end of the year. This is Plato's dialogue about the idea of virtue in-general. Meno asks Socrates what virtue is and how do people get it. Of course, this being Socrates the answer or question can not be that simple. First, Socrates wants to define......more
