| Description |
"Whoso touches this book touches a man," wrote Whitman. Perhaps this saying was never more true of any book than of the Dialogues of Plato. One may be unable to recall the topic discussed in this or that "dialogue," one may have difficulty remembering the subtleties of Plato's arguments, one may forget most of the characters involved. But one does not forget Socrates. One of the most valuable educational experiences available is to become acquainted, through Plato's book, with this man. |
