In The Plato Library, the dialogues of Plato are read in full, inviting the listener to sit beside Socrates and his companions as they inquire into justice, beauty, love, knowledge, virtue, and the good life. Come, then, and listen. Not as one who already knows, but as one willing to seek.Public domain Filosofia Scienze sociali
