Five Dialogues
-
Kimber What do you like best about Plato? I haven't read him since college. -
Zach B I think the early dialogues provide really interesting insight into philosophical ideas that are still very applicable in modern philosophy- simple ideas like justice and piety broken down via philosophy's earliest method into very tangible ideas. And then the later dialogues have interesting historical value- though they make assumptions that would never be taken for granted today, the existence of the soul being the most notable, their conclusions really were respected both in their time and through much of the Western philosophical tradition.

Kimber With such thoughtful replies, you're definitely turning into the go-to guy for philosophy on here. =)
I'm going to have to revisit this stuff... -
Zach B :-) I'm just a freshman in college- I've got a lot to learn before I can become any sort of resource like that... I'm just trying to figure it all out like everyone else...
